Localized Surface Plasmon Enhanced All‐Inorganic Perovskite Quantum Dot Light‐Emitting Diodes Based on Coaxial Core/Shell Heterojunction Architecture

Abstract This work presents a strategy of combining the concepts of localized surface plasmons (LSPs) and core/shell nanostructure configuration in a single perovskite light‐emitting diode (PeLED) to addresses simultaneously the emission efficiency and stability issues facing current PeLEDs' challenges. Wide bandgap n‐ZnO nanowires and p‐NiO are employed as the carrier injectors, and also the bottom/upper protection layers to construct coaxial core/shell heterostructured CsPbBr 3 quantum dots LEDs. Through embedding plasmonic Au nanoparticles into the device and thickness optimization of the MgZnO spacer layer, an emission enhancement ratio of 1.55 is achieved. The best‐performing plasmonic PeLED reaches up a luminance of 10 206 cd m −2 , an external quantum efficiency of ≈4.626%, and a current efficiency of 8.736 cd A −1 . The underlying mechanisms for electroluminescence enhancement are associated with the increased spontaneous emission rate and improved internal quantum efficiency induced by exciton–LSP coupling. More importantly, the proposed PeLEDs, even without encapsulation, present a substantially improved operation stability against water and oxygen degradation (30‐day storage in air ambient, 85% humidity) compared with any previous reports. It is believed that the experimental results obtained will provide an effective strategy to enhance the performance of PeLEDs, which may push forward the application of such kind of LEDs.
