Ultrabright and Efficient Green Perovskite Light-Emitting Diodes Enabled by Well-Crystallized Dense CsPbBr₃ Nanocubes

Abstract

Perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) are promising for next-generation high-definition displays. One of the keys to achieving high performance PeLEDs lies in how to fabricate crystalline and dense perovskite films. However, there exist challenges to directly grow well-crystallized CsPbBr₃ nanocrystal thin films on transport layers due to low solubility in solvents and fast precipitation of all-inorganic CsPbBr₃, and the corresponding bright, efficient, and stable green PeLEDs have rarely been reported. Herein, we report an efficient strategy to prepare well-crystallized and dense CsPbBr₃ nanocubes for ultrabright and efficient green PeLEDs. We introduce sulfobetaine zwitterion as crystallization control agent and strontium fluoride nanocrystals as nucleation seeds to grow high-quality CsPbBr₃ nanocube films. Eventually, the CsPbBr₃ films enable green PeLEDs with a maximum luminance of 162 767 cd m^-2 and a champion external quantum efficiency of 21.3% along with a narrow spectral line width of ∼14.7 nm, representing state-of-the-art performances in green PeLEDs.
