RESUMEN
Introducing molecular chirality into perovskite crystal structures has enabled the control of carrier spin states, giving rise to circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) in thin films and circularly polarized electroluminescence (CPEL) in LEDs. Spin-LEDs can be fabricated either through a spin-filtering layer enabled by chiral-induced spin selectivity or a chiral emissive layer. The former requires a high degree of spin polarization and a compatible spinterface for efficient spin injection, which might not be easily integrated into LEDs. Alternatively, a chiral emissive layer can also generate circularly polarized electroluminescence, but the efficiency remains low and the fundamental mechanism is elusive. In this work, we report an efficient green LED based on quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) chiral perovskites as the emitting layer (EML), where CPEL is directly produced without separate carrier spin injection. The optimized chiral perovskite thin films exhibited strong CPL at 535 nm with a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 91% and a photoluminescence dissymmetry factor (glum) of 8.6 × 10-2. Efficient green spin-LEDs were successfully demonstrated, with a large EL dissymmetry factor (gEL) of 7.8 × 10-2 and a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 13.5% at room temperature. Ultrafast transient absorption (TA) spectroscopic study shows that the CPEL is generated from a rapid energy transfer accompanied by spin transfer from 2D to 3D perovskites. Our study not only demonstrates a reliable approach to achieve high performance spin-LEDs but also reveals the fundamental mechanism of CPEL with an emissive layer of chiral perovskites.
RESUMEN
Objective: To analyze the construction and effect of standardized procedure of early activity after cardiac surgery in elderly patients based on the critical illness scoring system. Methods: A total of 65 elderly patients who underwent cardiac surgery in our hospital from January 2020 to January 2022 were selected as the research objects and divided into the control group (n = 32) and the observation group (n = 33) according to the admission time. The standardized procedure for the early activity after cardiac surgery was implemented based on the critical illness scoring system. The inter-group comparison was conducted in terms of the recovery time, complications, cardiac function, and quality of life pre- and post-nursing. Results: The observation group recovered faster than the control group following nursing care. The incidence rate of complications was 6.06% in the observation group, noticeably lower than 25.00% in the control group. The observation group exhibited remarkably higher left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), noninvasive cardiac output (NICO), and stroke volume (SV) but lower left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVED) post-nursing than the control group, which indicated that the cardiac function index was superior in the observation group. Following the nursing, the observation group attained higher scores in each item of the World Health Organization Quality of Living Scale (WHOQOL-BREF) than the control group. Conclusion: The critical illness scoring system is of significant value in constructing a standardized process of early postoperative cardiac surgery in the elderly, which can effectively promote postoperative recovery, reduce the occurrence of complications, protect cardiac function, and improve the quality of life of patients affected.
RESUMEN
All-inorganic perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) of CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) are promising for displays due to wide color gamut, narrow emission bandwidth, and high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). However, pure red perovskite NCs prepared by mixing halide ions often result in defects and spectral instabilities. We demonstrate a method to prepare stable pure red emission and high-PLQY-mixed-halide perovskite NCs through simultaneous halide-exchange and ligand-exchange. CsPbBr3 NCs with surface organic ligands are first synthesized using the ligand-assisted reprecipitation (LARP) method, and then ZnI2 is introduced for anion exchange to transform CsPbBr3 to CsPbBrxI3-x NCs. ZnI2 not only provides iodine ions but also acts as an inorganic ligand to passivate surface defects and prevent ion migration, suppressing non-radiative losses and halide segregation. The luminescence properties of CsPbBrxI3-x NCs depend on the ZnI2 content. By regulating the ZnI2 exchange process, red CsPbBrxI3-x NCs with organic/inorganic hybrid ligands achieve near-unity PLQY with a stable emission peak at 640 nm. The CsPbBrxI3-x NCs can be combined with green CsPbBr3 NCs to construct white light-emitting diodes with high-color gamut. Our work presents a facile ion exchange strategy for preparing spectrally stable mixed-halide perovskite NCs with high PLQY, approaching the efficiency limit for display or lighting applications.
RESUMEN
Metal halide perovskites have become a research highlight in the optoelectronic field due to their excellent properties. The perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) have achieved great improvement in performance in recent years, and the construction of quasi-2D perovskites by incorporating large-size organic cations is an effective strategy for fabricating efficient PeLEDs. Here, we incorporate the fluorine meta-substituted phenethylammonium bromide (m-FPEABr) into CsPbBr3 to prepare quasi-2D perovskite films for efficient PeLEDs, and study the effect of fluorine substitution on regulating the crystallization kinetics and phase distribution of the quasi-2D perovskites. It is found that m-FPEABr allows the transformation of low-n phases to high-n phases during the annealing process, leading to the suppression of n = 1 phase and increasing higher-n phases with improved crystallinity. The rational phase distribution results in the formation of multiple quantum wells (MQWs) in the m-FPEABr based films. The carrier dynamics study reveals that the resultant MQWs enable rapid energy funneling from low-n phases to emission centers. As a result, the green PeLEDs achieve a peak external quantum efficiency of 16.66% at the luminance of 1279 cd m-2. Our study demonstrates that the fluorinated organic cations would provide a facile and effective approach to developing high-performance PeLEDs.
RESUMEN
Quasi-2D metal halide perovskites are promising candidates for light-emitting applications owing to their large exciton binding energy and strong quantum confinement effect. Usually, quasi-2D perovskites are composed of multiple phases with various numbers of layers (n) of metal halide octahedron sheets, enabling light emission from the lowest-bandgap phase by cascade energy transfer. However, the energy transfer processes are extremely sensitive to the phase distribution and trap density in the quasi-2D perovskite films, and the insufficient energy transfer between different-n phases and the defect-induced traps would result in nonradiative losses. Here, significantly reduced nonradiative losses in the quasi-2D perovskite films are achieved by tailoring the low-dimensional phase components and lowering the density of trap states. Butylammonium bromide (BABr) and potassium thiocyanate (KSCN) are employed to synergistically decrease the nonradiative recombination in the quasi-2D perovskite films of PEABr : CsPbBr3. The incorporation of BABr is found to suppress the formation of the n = 1 phase, while adding KSCN can further reduce the low-n phases, passivate the notorious defects and improve the alignment of the high-n phases. By incorporating appropriate contents of BABr and KSCN, the resultant quasi-2D perovskite films show high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and highly ordered crystal orientation, which enable not only the green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with a high external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 16.3%, but also the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) with a low threshold of 2.6 µJ cm-2. These findings provide a simple and effective strategy to develop high-quality quasi-2D perovskites for LED and laser applications.
RESUMEN
Metal halide perovskites have received much attention for their application in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in the past several years. Rapid progress has been made in efficient green, red, and near-infrared perovskite LEDs. However, the development of blue perovskite LEDs is still lagging far behind. Here, we report efficient sky-blue perovskite LEDs by rearranging low-dimensional phase distribution in quasi-2D perovskites. We incorporated sodium ions into the mixed-Cl/Br quasi-2D perovskites with phenylethylammonium as the organic spacer and cesium lead halide as the inorganic framework. The inclusion of the sodium ion was found to significantly reduce the formation of the n = 1 phase, which was dominated by nonradiative transition, and increase the formation of other small-n phases for efficient exciton energy transfer. By managing the phase distribution, a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 11.7% was achieved in the sky-blue perovskite LED, with a stable emission peak at 488 nm. Further optimizing the phase distribution and film morphology with Pb content, we demonstrated the sky-blue devices with the average EQE approaching 10%. This strategy of engineering phase distribution of quasi-2D perovskites with a sodium ion could provide a useful way for the fabrication of high-performance blue perovskite LEDs.
