Abstract
Perovskite light-emitting diodes have drawn great attention in the fields of displays and lighting, especially for applications requiring high efficiency and high brightness. While three-dimensional perovskite light-emitting diodes hold promise for achieving higher brightness compared to low-dimensional counterparts, efficient blue three-dimensional perovskite light-emitting diodes have remained a challenge due to defect formation during the disordered crystallization of multiple A-cation perovskite. Here we demonstrate an all-site alloy method that enables sequential A-site doping growth of formamidinium and cesium hybrid perovskite. This approach significantly reduces the trap density of the perovskite film by approximately one order of magnitude. Consequently, we achieve efficient and bright blue perovskite light-emitting diode with an external quantum efficiency of 23.3%, a luminous efficacy of 33.4 lm W−1, and a luminance of approximately 5700 cd m−2 for the emission with a peak at 487 nm. This work provides a strategy for growing high-quality multicomponent perovskite for optoelectronics. Chen et al. report all-site alloying for 3D perovskites where B-site strontium doping retards the crystallisation and induces sequential A-site doping with annealing. The controllable crystallisation enables blue LEDs with peak efficiency of 23.3% at 487 nm and tuneable emission to 463 nm.
