Highly efficient circularly polarized electroluminescence in 3D perovskites passivated by chiral phosphonium halides
摘要
Perovskites have emerged as promising alternatives for circularly polarized electroluminescence (CPEL) compared to traditional organic fluorescent materials and metal complex-based phosphorescent materials due to their superior optoelectronic properties. However, achieving efficient CPEL with high external quantum efficiency (EQE) in perovskite materials using the chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) strategy in multilayer heterostructures remains challenging. Here, we developed an in-situ approach to construct a monolayer chiral emitting perovskite nanocrystal film using a chiral quaternary phosphonium salt, (R)-/(S)-triphenyl((1-phenylethyl)amino)phosphonium bromide (R-/S-TPNPE), as matrix and passivating ligand. This approach significantly passivates defects, improves film morphology, and induces spin polarization of excitons. The passivated films exhibit excellent circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) with a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) exceeding 80% and a luminescence asymmetry factor (glum) of −1.5 × 10−2. Notably, the circularly polarized light-emitting diodes (CP-LEDs) fabricated from the passivated film achieve a record EQE of 16.1% and an electroluminescence asymmetry factor (gEL) of −2.3 × 10−2, representing the best performance in chiral perovskites. Our method provides a reliable and convenient pathway for producing high-performance CP-LEDs, achieving the maximum value of EQE in the field of Pb-based perovskite CPEL.
