Abstract
Perovskite-based light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) suffer from low wavelength and intensity instability during excited emission. This study incorporates dopamine-mediated silver nanoparticles (DA@AgNPs) into perovskite to enhance the performance of blue-light PeLEDs. Characterization studies highlight the crucial role of dopamine’s hydroxyl group in controlling the size and distribution of AgNPs. Due to the presence of amine group, dopamine acts as a “bridging linker,” facilitating precise integration of AgNPs with perovskite. DA@AgNPs–perovskite comprises a uniform cubic phase, indicating improved crystal quality and fewer defects than in pristine perovskite. DA@AgNPs prevent pinhole-defect-induced heat accumulation, reducing nonradiative energy and Joule heat. Additionally, DA@AgNPs enhance thermal conductivity and thus cooling efficiency. The energy transfer between minor and primary phase emissions is found to be highly efficient and to enhance primary phase emission through the surface plasmon resonance effect of DA@AgNPs. Finally, DA@AgNPs–perovskite is successfully employed in a high-performance blue-light PeLED (wavelength = 476 nm); the device’s external quantum efficiency is 11.2 %, luminance is 380.2 cd/m2, and emission stability is favorable (firmly maintained at 476–478 nm after strong excitation under 4.25 V for 1 h). This work provides insights into one means of improving blue-light PeLEDs, opening avenues for advancements in optoelectronics.
