Perovskite Nanocrystals Protected by Hermetically Sealing for Highly Bright and Stable Deep‐Blue Light‐Emitting Diodes

Abstract Metal–halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have emerged as suitable light‐emitting materials for light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) and other practical applications. However, LEDs with perovskite NCs undergo environment‐induced and ion‐migration‐induced structural degradation during operation; th...

description Abstract Metal–halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have emerged as suitable light‐emitting materials for light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) and other practical applications. However, LEDs with perovskite NCs undergo environment‐induced and ion‐migration‐induced structural degradation during operation; therefore, novel NC design concepts, such as hermetic sealing of the perovskite NCs, are required. Thus far, viable synthetic conditions to form a robust and hermetic semiconducting shell on perovskite NCs have been rarely reported for LED applications because of the difficulties in the delicate engineering of encapsulation techniques. Herein, a highly bright and durable deep‐blue perovskite LED (PeLED) formed by hermetically sealing perovskite NCs with epitaxial ZnS shells is reported. This shell protects the perovskite NCs from the environment, facilitates charge injection/transport, and effectively suppresses interparticle ion migration during the LED operation, resulting in exceptional brightness (2916 cd m−2) at 451 nm and a high external quantum efficiency of 1.32%. Furthermore, even in the unencapsulated state, the LED shows a long operational lifetime (T50) of 1192 s (≈20 min) in the air. These results demonstrate that the epitaxial and hermetic encapsulation of perovskite NCs is a powerful strategy for fabricating high‐performance deep‐blue‐emitting PeLEDs.
