Solution Processed Bilayer Metal Halide White Light Emitting Diodes

Abstract Metal halide perovskites and perovskite‐related organic metal halide hybrids (OMHHs) have recently emerged as a new class of luminescent materials for light emitting diodes (LEDs), owing to their unique and remarkable properties, including near‐unity photoluminescence quantum efficiencies, highly tunable emission colors, and low temperature solution processing. While substantial progress has been made in developing monochromatic LEDs with electroluminescence across blue, green, red, and near‐infrared regions, achieving highly efficient and stable white electroluminescence from a single LED remains a challenging and under‐explored area. Here, a facile approach to generating white electroluminescence is reported by combining narrow sky‐blue emission from metal halide perovskites and broadband orange/red emission from zero‐dimensional (0D) OMHHs. For the proof of concept, utilizing TPPcarz + passivated two‐dimensional (2D) CsPbBr 3 nanoplatelets (NPLs) as sky blue emitter and 0D TPPcarzSbBr 4 as orange/red emitter (TPPcarz + = triphenyl (9‐phenyl‐9H‐carbazol‐3‐yl) phosphonium), white LEDs (WLEDs) with a solution processed bilayer structure have been fabricated to exhibit a peak external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 4.8% and luminance of 1507 cd m −2 at the Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinate of (0.32, 0.35). This work opens a new pathway for creating highly efficient and stable WLEDs using metal halide perovskites and related materials.
