Efficient Room‐Temperature Phosphorescence from Organic–Inorganic Hybrid Perovskites by Molecular Engineering

Abstract Solution‐processed organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites are promising emitters for next‐generation optoelectronic devices. Multiple‐colored, bright light emission is achieved by tuning their composition and structures. However, there is very little research on exploring optically active organic cations for hybrid perovskites. Here, unique room‐temperature phosphorescence from hybrid perovskites is reported by employing novel organic cations. Efficient room‐temperature phosphorescence is activated by designing a mixed‐cation perovskite system to suppress nonradiative recombination. Multiple‐colored phosphorescence is achieved by molecular design. Moreover, the emission lifetime can be tuned by varying the perovskite composition to achieve persistent luminescence. Efficient room‐temperature phosphorescence is demonstrated in hybrid perovskites that originates from the triplet states of the organic cations, opening a new dimension to the further development of perovskite emitters with novel functional organic cations for versatile display applications.
