Abstract

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are highly promising for display technologies due to their distinctive optical characteristics, such as tunable emission wavelengths, narrow emission spectra, and superb photoluminescence quantum yields. Over the last decade, both academic and industrial research have substantially advanced quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED) technology, primarily through the development of higher-quality QDs and more refined device structures. A key element of these advancements includes progress in the electron transport layer (ETL) technology, with metal oxide (MO) nanoparticles (NPs) like ZnO and ZnMgO emerging as superior choices due to their robust performance. Nevertheless, scalability challenges, such as particle agglomeration and positive aging, have prompted research into organic semiconductors that match the performance of MO NPs. This review aims to provide a detailed examination and comprehensive understanding of recent advances and challenges in ETLs based on both MO NPs and organic semiconductors, guiding future commercialization efforts for QLEDs.
