Monoammonium Modified Dion-Jacobson Quasi-2D Perovskite for High Efficiency Pure-Blue Light Emitting Diodes

Quasi-2D perovskites exhibit impressive optoelectronic properties and hold significant promise for future light-emitting devices. However, the efficiency of perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) is seriously limited by defect-induced nonradiative recombination and imbalanced charge injection. Here, the defect states are passivated and charge injection balance is effectively improved by introducing the additive cyclohexanemethylammonium (CHMA) to bromide-based Dion-Jacobson (D-J) structure quasi-2D perovskite emission layer. CHMA participates in the crystallization of perovskite, leading to high quality film composed of compact and well-contacted grains with enhanced hole transportation and less defects. As a result, the corresponding PeLEDs exhibit stable pure blue emission at 466 nm with a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 9.22%. According to current knowledge, this represents the highest EQE reported for pure-blue PeLEDs based on quasi-2D bromide perovskite thin films. These findings underscore the potential of quasi-2D perovskites for advanced light-emitting devices and pave the way for further advancements in PeLEDs. Monoammonium cyclohexanemethylammonium modifies Dion-Jacobson structure perovskite and plays two roles: hole transportation enhancement and defect passivation. Consequently, the highest external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 9.22% at 466 nm reported to date for pure-blue bromine-based quasi-2D perovskite is realized due to balanced charge injection and transportation and suppressed non-radiative recombination. image
