Abstract
Abstract Quasi‐two‐dimensional (Quasi2D) perovskite materials gained widespread attention due to whose unique and highly desirable luminescence properties. However, the behavior of perovskite lightemitting diodes (PeLEDs) is prejudiced by inefficient cascading energy transfer of perovskite film and unbalanced charges injection. Here, ferrocene carboxylic acid (FcAd) is employed between hole transport layer (HTL) and perovskite layer as a molecular bridge to solve the current problems of PeLEDs. Ferrocene units can bond with [PbBr 6 ] 4− , forming one‐dimensional (1D) intermediate phases of FcPbBr 3 at the interface, which can manipulate the growth kinetics of perovskite and reconstruct the phase distribution. Therefore, due to the suppression of low dimensional phase content, not only is the cascaded energy transfer of PEA 2 (CsPbBr 3 ) 2 PbBr 4 films effectively achieved, but also the quasi‐2D perovskite's work function is reduced. Additionally, Pb 2+ coordinated with the carboxyl group of FcAd, inducing an electric dipole effect that leads to an further upward shift of the perovskite energy level. Eventually, the synergy achieves a significant tailoring between the perovskite and HTL energy exhibits the most excellent external quantum efficiency (EQE) exceeds 27% and optimal brightness exceeds 240000 cd m −2 . Therefore, the preparation method will provide an effective strategy to widen the color gamut of next‐generation displays.
