High-performance and stable CsPbBr3 light-emitting diodes based on polymer additive treatment

Abstract

Because of their high efficiency and sharp emission, perovskite light-emitting diodes are a promising candidate for next-generation lighting techniques. However, the relatively poor stability of perovskite light-emitting diodes lowers their utility. Therefore, a highly stable perovskite light-emitting diode has to be developed to meet the commercial demand. Herein, we report a highly stable CsPbBr3 light-emitting diode via simple polymer treatment. The addition of 2-methyl-2-oxazoline in perovskite film assists the formation of CsPbBr3 nanocrystals, improving the quality and photoluminescence property of perovskite film. Based on such CsPbBr3 nanocrystals and polymer hybrid film, our device presents a high external quantum efficiency and luminance of around 3.0% and 16 648 cd m-2, respectively. Moreover, an excellent device half-lifetime of more than 2.4 hours has been achieved, under continuous operation at a relatively high initial luminance of 1000 cd m-2, representing one of the most stable PeLEDs operated at such high initial luminance. © 2019 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
