Improving the light extraction efficiency of white-light perovskite light-emitting diodes based on quantum dot nanowires

This study introduces an innovative strategy to enhance the light extraction efficiency (LEE) of white-light perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) by incorporating quantum dot nanowires (QD-NWs) that are prepared by a porous anodic aluminum (PAA) substrate. The QD-NWs were synthesized through a combination of inkjet printing and vacuum deposition based on the PAA substrate which features a unique waveguiding structure that redirects post-color conversion fluorescence along its axis, effectively minimizing energy losses such as reabsorption loss and total internal reflection (TIR) loss. Empirical evidence indicates a significant luminance enhancement of 43.79%, accompanied by an enhancement in current efficiency, for PeLEDs incorporating the QD-NWs. By fine-tuning the structural attributes of the PAA substrate to regulate the size of QD-NWs, this research has successfully developed white-light PeLEDs based on quasi-2D blue perovskite, offering a universal strategy for boosting LEE and propelling the evolution of white-light PeLED technology.
