摘要:

准二维钙钛矿由于具有较大的激子结合能和高效的能量转移等优势,在发光二极管(light-emitting diodes,LED)中的应用前景被广泛看好。然而,准二维钙钛矿溶液加工成膜过程中易形成大量的低维相和表界面缺陷,引起严重的非辐射复合,成为限制发光二极管器件性能的瓶颈。在本工作中,通过在PEA2Cs2Pb3Br10钙钛矿前驱体中加入1, 6-二(丙烯酰氧基)-2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5-八氟己烷(OFHDODA)小分子添加剂,将钙钛矿薄膜的荧光量子效率(Photoluminescence Quantum Yield,PLQY)从19.7%提升到了49.0%,发射波长从508 nm红移到511 nm。这主要归因于OFHDODA与钙钛矿之间的物理化学相互作用有效抑制了非辐射复合,一方面多氟结构与PEA+之间的氢键相互作用调控了结晶动力学,抑制了低维相的产生;另一方面酯基具有较强的路易斯碱性,钝化了表界面未饱和Pb2+缺陷。相应地,准二维钙钛矿LED的外量子效率(External Quantum Efficiency,EQE)从8.55%提高到了13.76%。这项工作为设计新型多功能小分子添加剂,抑制准二维钙钛矿中的非辐射复合损失提供了思路。

Abstract:

Quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) perovskites are one of the most promising luminescent layer candidates for light-emitting diodes (LEDs) because of their excellent optoelectronic properties such as large exciton binding energy, efficient energy transfer, high photoluminescence quantum yield, and adjustable band gap. However, the formation of a large number of low-dimensional phases and surface/interface defects during solution processing of quasi-two-dimensional perovskite films gives rise to an increase in non-radiative recombination, resulting in deteriorated light-emitting diode performance. It is highly desirable to simultaneously realize low-dimensional phase formation inhibition and surface/interface defect passivation during quasi-two-dimensional perovskite film formation. Herein, we report a multifunctional additive, 1, 6-bis(acryloyloxy)-2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5-octafluorohexane (OFHDODA), which has strong physical and chemical interactions with the PEA2Cs2Pb3Br10 precursor that can effectively suppress non-radiative recombination in the perovskite films. The distinct C=C peak in the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra and the F 1s peak in the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra showed that OFHDODA molecules were successfully incorporated into the perovskite films, and most OFHDODA molecules existed as monomers. With the addition of OFHDODA, the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of the perovskite film increased from 19.7% to 49.0%, and the PL emission wavelength red-shifted from 508 to 511 nm. It was demonstrated that hydrogen bond interactions between the polyfluorine structure and PEA+ can tune perovskite crystallization dynamics, which inhibit the formation of low-dimensional phases, as shown by the reduced peak intensities at 403 nm (n = 1), 434 nm (n = 2), and 465 nm (n = 3) in the absorption spectra. The strong Lewis base moiety of the ester groups passivates the unsaturated Pb2+ defects at the surface and grain boundaries of the perovskite films, as evidenced by the Pb 4f peak shift in the XPS spectra and the C=O shift in the FTIR spectra. The trap-filled limiting voltage (VTFL) decreased in both hole-only and electron-only devices, which also proves the reduction of Pb2+ defects. At the optimized OFHDODA concentration, the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) results from the perovskite films show lower roughness and smoother surface potential, which promotes superior interfacial contact. As a result, perovskite LEDs with a device structure of indium tin oxide glass/poly (9-vinylcarbazole)/perovskite/1, 3, 5-tris(1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)benzene/8-hydroxyquinolinolato-lithium/Al exhibited an improved maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) from 8.55% to 13.76%, improved maximum brightness from 16400 to 17620 cd∙m−2, and increased lifetime from 8 min to 12 min. This process provides an effective way to suppress non-radiative recombination in quasi-2D perovskites via additive molecular structure design, leading to superior electroluminescence performance.
