摘要

Abstract

Colloidally quantum-confined CsPbBr

nanoplatelets (NPLs) exhibit narrow emission linewidths and thickness-tunable photoluminescence

making them ideal candidates for deep-blue perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs). However

the weak surface coordination of conventional long-chain ligands (

e.g

oleylamine and oleic acid) leads to face-to-face stacking of the NPLs

resulting in undesirable emission redshifts in their PeLEDs. Herein

we report an efficient deep-blue PeLED based on colloidal CsPbBr

NPLs that meet the Rec.2020 color standard

enabled by an acid-assisted ligand passivation strategy. Surface chemical analysis reveals that hydrobromic acid facilitates proton-assisted stripping of the long-chain ligands

followed by the formation of stable Pb-S-P coordination bonds with thio-tributylphosphine

which exhibits a high adsorption energy (E

ads

= -1.13 eV). This approach significantly improves surface defect passivation

yielding a photoluminescence quantum yield of 96% and a narrow 13 nm full-width-at-half-maximum deep-blue emission. Enhanced exciton recombination and reduced defect state density are evidenced by a prolonged photoluminescence lifetime and slower absorption bleach recovery kinetics. The resulting PeLEDs achieve rec

ord-breaking performance among CsPbBr

NPL-based systems

with a maximum external quantum efficiency of 6.81% at 461 nm

a peak luminance of 143 cd m

-2

and the CIE color coordinates (CIE-y = 0.046) that comply with Rec.2020 standards. This work presents an effective strategy for developing efficient and stable deep-blue perovskite emitters

demonstrating significant potential for the commercialization of perovskite nanomaterials in next-generation ultra-high-definition displays.
