Description:
Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites are emerging low-cost emitters with very high color purity, but their low luminescent efficiency is a critical drawback. We boosted the current efficiency (CE) of perovskite light-emitting diodes with a simple bilayer structure to 42.9 candela per ampere, similar to the CE of phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes, with two modifications: We prevented the formation of metallic lead (Pb) atoms that cause strong exciton quenching through a small increase in methylammonium bromide (MABr) molar proportion, and we spatially confined the exciton in uniform MAPbBr3 nanograins (average diameter = 99.7 nanometers) formed by a nanocrystal pinning process and concomitant reduction of exciton diffusion length to 67 nanometers. These changes caused substantial increases in steady-state photoluminescence intensity and efficiency of MAPbBr3 nanograin layers.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cho, Himchan -- Jeong, Su-Hun -- Park, Min-Ho -- Kim, Young-Hoon -- Wolf, Christoph -- Lee, Chang-Lyoul -- Heo, Jin Hyuck -- Sadhanala, Aditya -- Myoung, NoSoung -- Yoo, Seunghyup -- Im, Sang Hyuk -- Friend, Richard H -- Lee, Tae-Woo -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2015 Dec 4;350(6265):1222-5. doi: 10.1126/science.aad1818.
