Title: Encapsulated MAPbBr 3 in nickel oxide nanotubes and their electroluminescence
Metal halide perovskites have emerged as the next generation of light emitting semiconducting materials due to their excellent properties such as tunable bandgaps, high photoluminescence quantum yield, and high color purity. Nickel oxide is a hole transport material that has been used in planar light emitting diodes (LEDs). In this paper, we develop a novel method for the large scale fabrication of metal halide perovskite nanowire arrays encapsulated inside nickel oxide nanotubes. We study the structural and spectral properties of these infiltrated perovskites nanowires and, to the best of our knowledge, for the first time report on a working LED device consisting of perovskites encapsulated inside nickel oxide nanotubes. Finally, we study the photoluminescence and electroluminescence of an LED with MAPbBr 3 inside nickel oxide nanotubes and obtain an outstanding current efficiency of 5.99 Cd A −1 and external quantum efficiency of 3.9% for the LED device.  more » « less

    Metal-halide perovskites, in particular their nanocrystal forms, have emerged as a new generation of light-emitting materials with exceptional optical properties, including narrow emissions covering the whole visible region with high photoluminescence quantum efficiencies of up to near-unity. Remarkable progress has been achieved over the last few years in the areas of materials development and device integration. A variety of synthetic approaches have been established to precisely control the compositions and microstructures of metal-halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) with tunable bandgaps and emission colors. The use of metal-halide perovskite NCs as active materials for optoelectronic devices has been extensively explored. Here, we provide a brief overview of recent advances in the development and application of metal-halide perovskite NCs. From color tuning via ion exchange and manipulation of quantum size effects, to stability enhancement via surface passivation, new chemistry for materials development is discussed. In addition, processes in optoelectronic devices based on metal-halide perovskite NCs, in particular, light-emitting diodes and radiation detectors, will be introduced. Opportunities for future research in metal-halide perovskite NCs are provided as well.

    Optically pumped white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs), consisting of blue/ultraviolet LED chips and down conversion phosphors, have a wide range of applications in our daily life, such as full color display and solid-state lighting. While remarkable progress in light quality, device efficiency, and lifetime has been achieved during the last two decades, many challenges remain in optically pumped WLEDs, and searching for low cost high performance down conversion phosphors is still of great interest. Recently, metal halide perovskites have emerged as a highly promising new generation of light emitters for their exceptional optical properties with high quantum efficiencies and color tunability, which have also inspired researchers to investigate their derivatives. In this perspective, we briefly review the progress during the last few years in the development of metal halide perovskites and perovskite-related materials as down conversion phosphors for optically pumped WLEDs. We also highlight some major issues and challenges that need to be addressed to enable perovskite-based light emitters to possibly replace currently used rare-earth doped inorganic phosphors and quantum dots.

    Abstract Metal halide perovskites show promise for next-generation light-emitting diodes, particularly in the near-infrared range, where they outperform organic and quantum-dot counterparts. However, they still fall short of costly III-V semiconductor devices, which achieve external quantum efficiencies above 30% with high brightness. Among several factors, controlling grain growth and nanoscale morphology is crucial for further enhancing device performance. This study presents a grain engineering methodology that combines solvent engineering and heterostructure construction to improve light outcoupling efficiency and defect passivation. Solvent engineering enables precise control over grain size and distribution, increasing light outcoupling to ~40%. Constructing 2D/3D heterostructures with a conjugated cation reduces defect densities and accelerates radiative recombination. The resulting near-infrared perovskite light-emitting diodes achieve a peak external quantum efficiency of 31.4% and demonstrate a maximum brightness of 929 W sr−1m−2. These findings indicate that perovskite light-emitting diodes have potential as cost-effective, high-performance near-infrared light sources for practical applications.

    Light emitting diodes (LEDs) have wide applications from fullcolor displays to solid‐state lighting. Numerous types of luminescent materials have been explored for LEDs, ranging from inorganic semiconductors to metal complexes and quantum dots. Despite the rapid pace of development, LEDs have not achieved their full potentials in terms of performance and cost efficiency. Identifying new eco‐friendly materials for LEDs is of great interest. Recently, metal halide perovskites and perovskite‐related hybrid materials have emerged as new generation luminescent materials with unique optoelectronic properties. Here, some of our recent development of LEDs based on metal halide perovskites and perovskite‐related materials will be discussed.

    Metal halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have emerged as new-generation light-emitting materials with narrow emissions and high photoluminescence quantum efficiencies (PLQEs). Various types of perovskite NCs, e.g., platelets, wires, and cubes, have been discovered to exhibit tunable emissions across the whole visible spectrum. Despite remarkable advances in the field of perovskite NCs, many nanostructures in inorganic NCs have not yet been realized in metal halide perovskites, and producing highly efficient blue-emitting perovskite NCs remains challenging and of great interest. Here, we report the discovery of highly efficient blue-emitting cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr 3 ) perovskite hollow NCs. By facile solution processing of CsPbBr 3 precursor solution containing ethylenediammonium bromide and sodium bromide, in situ formation of hollow CsPbBr 3 NCs with controlled particle and pore sizes is realized. Synthetic control of hollow nanostructures with quantum confinement effect results in color tuning of CsPbBr 3 NCs from green to blue, with high PLQEs of up to 81%.
