Efficient Radiative Enhancement in Perovskite Light-Emitting Devices through Involving a Novel Sandwich Localized Surface Plasmon Structure.

In recent years, CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have been considered as the most promising materials for light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, the advances of CsPbX3 quantum dot-based light emitting diodes (QLEDs) still lagged behind inorganic III-V LEDs and other organic LEDs. Herein, a strategy to improve the performances of perovskite QLEDs is reported by utilizing the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effects of Au nanospheres (NSs). It is accomplished by introducing a Au NS layer into the electron transport layer of Ca2+ -CsPbBr3 QLEDs, where the diameter and spacing of Au NSs and the interaction distance between the Ca2+ -CsPbBr3 QD and Au NS layers are modulated, according to the theoretical simulation of Finite-difference time-domain. As a result, the photoluminescence quantum yield of Ca2+ -CsPbBr3 QD layer is improved from 31.5% to 73.3%. Finally, the luminance of Ca2+ -CsPbBr3 QLEDs is improved from 16824 to 63931 cd m-2 and external quantum efficiency (EQE) is improved from 4.2% to 10.5%. The radiative transition rate can be remarkably modulated from 0.7 × 107 to 6.6 × 107 s-1 . The enhancement in luminance and EQE are the best values in the LSPR modified perovskite QLEDs and the strategy offered in this work fits with other LEDs and optoelectrical devices.
