Abstract

Metal halide perovskites, known for their outstanding optical properties such as high photoluminescence quantum yield, exceptional color purity, and tunable bandgap, have emerged as promising semiconductor materials for next-generation display technologies. Nonetheless, producing pure red emissions from∼10nm-sized CsPbI₃perovskite nanocrystals (PeNCs) remains a significant challenge for perovskite light-emitting didoes (PeLEDs). Here, we present the facile surface bromination strategy of CsPbI₃PeNCs for pure red PeLEDs. The mild post-ligand treatment on CsPbI₃PeNCs produces surface-brominated PeNCs, denoted as CsPbI₃:Br, while preserving the original CsPbI₃crystal structure intact. The resulting CsPbI₃:Br PeNCs exhibit bright pure red luminescence and significant improvements in electrical properties. The PeLEDs, fabricated with these PeNCs, achieve a remarkable external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 19.8%, comparable to those of the best reported pure red PeLEDs. Finally, we have showcased the application of these PeLEDs as skin-attachable PeLEDs, showing stable operations under various mechanical deformations. This study not only provides a straightforward method for producing pure red PeNCs, but also highlights their potential in wearable electronic applications.
