Cesium Lead Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals Assembled in Metal–Organic Frameworks for Stable Blue Light Emitting Diodes

Journal Article · · Advanced Science
All inorganic cesium lead trihalide nanocrystals are promising light emitters for bright light emitting diodes (LEDs). Here we demonstrate CsPb(BrCl)1.5 nanocrystals in metal-organic frameworks (MOF) thin films to achieve bright and stable blue LEDs. The lead metal nodes in the MOF thin film react with Cs-halide salts, resulting in 10~20 nm nanocrystals. This is revealed by X-ray scattering and transmission electron microscopy. Employing the CsPbX3- MOF thin films as emission layers, bright deep blue and sky-blue LEDs are demonstrated that emit at 452 nm and 476 nm respectively. The maximum external quantum efficiencies of these devices are 0.72% for deep blue LEDs and 5.6% for sky blue LEDs. More importantly, the device can maintain 50% of its original electroluminescence (T50) for 2.23 hours when driving at 4.2V. Detailed optical spectroscopy and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy suggest that the ion migration can be suppressed that maintains the emission brightness and spectra. Our study provides a new route for fabricating stable blue light emitting diodes with all-inorganic perovskite nanocrystals.
