Abstract
Light emitting diodes (LED) based on halide perovskite nanocrystals (NC) have received widespread attention in recent years. In particular, LEDs based on CsPbBr(3) NCs were the object of special interest. Here, we report for the first time green LED based on CsPbBr(3) NCs treated with ammonium thiocyanate solution before purification with polar solvent. The champion device fabricated based on the treated CsPbBr(3) NCs showed high efficiency and high stability during operation as well as during storage. A study on morphology and current distribution of NC films under applied voltages was carried out by conductive atomic force microscopy, giving a hint on efficiency roll-off. The current work provides a facile way to treat sensitive perovskite NCs and to fabricate perovskite NC-based LED with high stability. Moreover, the results shed new light on the relation between film morphology and device performance and on the possible mechanism of efficiency roll-off in NC LED.
