Solvent-Reconstructed Interface That Enhances Light Out-Coupling in Quasi-Two-Dimensional Perovskite Light-Emitting Diodes.

Abstract

Light management is critical to maximizing the external quantum efficiency of perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs), but strategies for enhancing light out-coupling are typically complex and expensive. Here, using a facile solvent treatment strategy, we create a layer of lithium fluoride (LiF) nanoislands that serve as a template to reconstruct the light-extracting interfaces for PeLEDs. The nanoisland interface rearranges the near-field light distribution in order to maximize the efficiency of internal light extraction. With the proper adjustment of the nanoisland size and distribution, we have achieved an optimal balance between charge injection and light out-coupling, resulting in bright, pure-red quasi-two-dimensional PeLEDs with a 21.8% peak external quantum efficiency.
