Stable Yellow Light-Emitting Diodes Based on Quasi-Two-Dimensional Perovskites.

Perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) show great potential in display and lighting because of their tunable wavelength, narrow emission bandwidths, and high color purity. Currently, the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of red and green PeLEDs has reached >23%. However, yellow PeLEDs are still rarely reported because of phase separation in mixed-halide perovskites and the coexistence of multiple phases in quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) perovskites L 2 A n -1 B n X 3 n +1 ( n = 1, 2, 3, ...), where L is a bulky organoammonium ligand. Here, we fabricate stable yellow PeLEDs by manipulating the phase distribution and incorporating rubidium cations (Rb + ) in quasi-2D perovskites. The transient absorption results confirm that alkylammonium ligand butyl ammonium (BA) has a narrower phase distribution than phenylethyl ammonium (PEA) in the quasi-2D perovskites, resulting in a more blue-shifted emission peak. We further incorporate a proper molar ratio of Rb + in the (BA) 2 CsPb 2 I 7 perovskite to blue-shift the emission peak to the yellow range. Finally, the yellow PeLEDs exhibit an EQE of 3.5%, and the stable emission peak is located at 595 nm. Our work provides a useful approach for the fabrication of highly efficient and stable yellow PeLEDs.
