Abstract
Zero-dimensional lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) exhibit size-dependent bandgap and carrier confinement compared to bulk counterparts due to the quantum confinement effect, making them essential for achieving wide-color-gamut displays, studying excitonic spin relaxation, and constructing superlattices. Despite their promising potential, they face a variety of technical bottlenecks, such as insufficient color reproducibility, limited large-scale production, low stability, and toxicity. An outline of a research roadmap is provided in the review, which highlights key challenges in developing perovskite NCs for commercial applications.

Sci Bull (Beijing) 2024; 69:382-418. [PMID: 38105163 DOI: 10.1016/j.scib.2023.12.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
Despite their excellent environmental stability, low defect density, and high carrier mobility, large-n quasi-two-dimensional halide perovskites (quasi-2DHPs) feature a limited application scope because of the formation of self-assembled multiple quantum wells (QWs) due to the similar thermal stabilities of large-n phases. However, large-n quasi-phase-pure 2DHPs (quasi-PP-2DHPs) can solve this problem perfectly. This review discusses the structures, formation mechanisms, and photoelectronic and physical properties of quasi-PP-2DHPs, summarises the corresponding single crystals, thin films, and heterojunction preparation methods, and presents the related advances. Moreover, we focus on applications of large-n quasi-PP-2DHPs in solar cells, photodetectors, lasers, light-emitting diodes, and field-effect transistors, discuss the challenges and prospects of these emerging photoelectronic materials, and review the potential technological developments in this area.

Abstract
With increasing ecological and environmental concerns, tin (Sn)-based perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) are competitive candidates for future displays because of their environmental friendliness, excellent photoelectric properties, and low-cost solution-processed fabrication. Nonetheless, their electroluminescence (EL) performance still lags behind that of lead (Pb)-based PeLEDs due to the fast crystallization rate of Sn-based perovskite films and undesired oxidation from Sn2+ to Sn4+ , leading to poor film morphology and coverage, as well as high density defects. Here, we propose a ligand engineering strategy to construct high-quality phenethylammonium tin iodide (PEA2 SnI4 ) perovskite films by using L-glutathione reduced (GSH) as surface ligands toward efficient pure red PEA2 SnI4 -based PeLEDs. We show that the hydrogen-bond and coordinate interactions between GSH and PEA2 SnI4 effectively reduce the crystallization rate of the perovskites and suppress the oxidation of Sn2+ and formation of defects. The improved pure red perovskite films not only show excellent uniformity, density, and coverage but also exhibit enhanced optical properties and stability. Finally, state-of-the-art pure red PeLEDs achieve a record external quantum efficiency of 9.32 % in the field of PEA2 SnI4 -based devices. This work demonstrates that ligand engineering represents a feasible route to enhance the EL performance of Sn-based PeLEDs.

Abstract
Sn-based perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) have emerged as promising alternatives to Pb-based PeLEDs with their rapid increase in performance owing to the various research studies on inhibiting Sn oxidation. However, the absence of defect passivation strategies for Sn-based perovskite LEDs necessitates further research in this field. We performed systematic studies to investigate the design rules for defect passivation agents for Sn-based perovskites by incorporating alkali/multivalent metal salts with various cations and anions. From the computational and experimental analyses, sodium trifluoromethanesulfonate (NaTFMS) was found to be the most effective passivation agent for PEA2SnI4 films among the explored candidate agents owing to favorable reaction energetics to passivate iodide Frenkel defects. Consequently, the incorporation of NaTFMS facilitates the formation of uniform films with relatively large crystals and reduced Sn4+. The NaTFMS-containing PEA2SnI4 PeLEDs demonstrate an improved luminance of 138.9 cd/m2 and external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 0.39% with an improved half-lifetime of more than threefold. This work provides important insight into the design of defect passivation agents for Sn-based perovskites.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs), as emerging carbon nanomaterials, have been regarded as promising alternatives for electroluminescent light-emitting diodes (LEDs) owing to their distinct characteristics, such as low toxicity, tuneable photoluminescence, and good photostability. In the last few years, despite remarkable progress achieved in CD-based LEDs, their device performance is still inferior to that of well-developed organic, heavy-metal-based QDs, and perovskite LEDs. To better exploit LED applications and boost device performance, in this review, a comprehensive overview of currently explored CDs is presented, focusing on their key optical characteristics, which are closely related to the structural design of CDs from their carbon core to surface modifications, and to macroscopic structural engineering, including the embedding of CDs in the matrix or spatial arrangement of CDs. The design of CD-based LEDs for display and lighting applications based on the fluorescence, phosphorescence, and delayed fluorescence emission of CDs is also highlighted. Finally, it is concluded with a discussion regarding the key challenges and plausible prospects in this field. It is hoped that this review inspires more extensive research on CDs from a new perspective and promotes practical applications of CD-based LEDs in multiple directions of current and future research.

Abstract
Perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) can be a promising technology for next-generation display and lighting applications due to their excellent optoelectronic properties. However, a systematical overview of luminescence and degradation mechanism of perovskite materials and PeLEDs is lacking. Therefore, it is crucial to fully understand these mechanisms and further improve device performances. In this work, the fundamental photophysical processes of perovskite materials, electroluminescence mechanism of PeLEDs including carrier kinetics and efficiency roll-off as well as device degradation mechanism are discussed in detail. In addition, the strategies to improve device performances are summarized, including optimization of photoluminescence quantum yield, charge injection and recombination, and light outcoupling efficiency. It is hoped that this work can provide guidance for future development of PeLEDs and ultimately realize industrial applications.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) have demonstrated remarkable optoelectronic performance1-3. However, there are potential toxicity issues with lead4,5 and removing lead from the best-performing PeLEDs-without compromising their high external quantum efficiencies-remains a challenge. Here we report a tautomeric-mixture-coordination-induced electron localization strategy to stabilize the lead-free tin perovskite TEA2SnI4 (TEAI is 2-thiopheneethylammonium iodide) by incorporating cyanuric acid. We demonstrate that a crucial function of the coordination is to amplify the electronic effects, even for those Sn atoms that aren't strongly bonded with cyanuric acid owing to the formation of hydrogen-bonded tautomeric dimer and trimer superstructures on the perovskite surface. This electron localization weakens adverse effects from Anderson localization and improves ordering in the crystal structure of TEA2SnI4. These factors result in a two-orders-of-magnitude reduction in the non-radiative recombination capture coefficient and an approximately twofold enhancement in the exciton binding energy. Our lead-free PeLED has an external quantum efficiency of up to 20.29%, representing a performance comparable to that of state-of-the-art lead-containing PeLEDs6-12. We anticipate that these findings will provide insights into the stabilization of Sn(II) perovskites and further the development of lead-free perovskite applications.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic Pb-free layered perovskites are efficient broadband emitters and thus are promising materials for lighting applications. However, their synthetic protocols require a controlled atmosphere, high temperature, and long preparation time. This hinders the potential tunability of their emission through organic cations, as is instead common practice in Pb-based structures. Here, we present a set of Sn-Br layered perovskite-related structures that display different chromaticity coordinates and photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) up to 80%, depending on the choice of the organic monocation. We first develop a synthetic protocol that is performed under air and at 4 °C, requiring only a few steps. X-ray and 3D electron diffraction analyses show that the structures exhibit diverse octahedra connectivity (disconnected and face-sharing) and thus optical properties, while preserving the organic-inorganic layer intercalation. These results provide key insight into a previously underexplored strategy to tune the color coordinates of Pb-free layered perovskites through organic cations with complex molecular configurations.

Understanding and controlling the nucleation and crystallization in solution-processed perovskite thin films are critical to achieving high in-plane charge carrier transport in field-effect transistors (FETs). This work demonstrates a simple and effective additive engineering strategy using pentanoic acid (PA). Here, PA is introduced to both modulate the crystallization process and improve the charge carrier transport in 2D 2-thiopheneethylammonium tin iodide ((TEA)2 SnI4 ) perovskite FETs. It is revealed that the carboxylic group of PA is strongly coordinated to the spacer cation TEAI and [SnI6 ]4- framework in the perovskite precursor solution, inducing heterogeneous nucleation and lowering undesired oxidation of Sn2+ during the film formation. These factors contribute to a reduced defect density and improved film morphology, including lower surface roughness and larger grain size, resulting in overall enhanced transistor performance. The reduced defect density and decreased ion migration lead to a higher p-channel charge carrier mobility of 0.7 cm2 V-1 s-1 , which is more than a threefold increase compared with the control device. Temperature-dependent charge transport studies demonstrate a mobility of 2.3 cm2 V-1 s-1 at 100 K due to the diminished ion mobility at low temperatures. This result illustrates that the additive strategy bears great potential to realize high-performance Sn-based perovskite FETs.

Abstract
We investigate the effect of metal cation substition on the excitonic structure and dynamics in a prototypical Ruddlesden-Popper metal halide. Through an in-depth spectroscopic and theoretical analysis, we identify the presence of multiple resonances in the optical spectra of a phenethyl ammonium tin iodide, a tin-based RPMH. Based on ab initio calculations, we assign these resonances to distinct exciton series that originate from the splitting of the conduction band due to spin-orbit coupling. While the splitting energy in the tin based system is low enough to enable the observation of the higher lying exciton in the visible-range spectrum of the material, the higher splitting energy in the lead counterpart prevents the emergence of such a feature. We elucidate the critical role played by the higher lying excitonic state in the ultrafast carrier thermalization dynamics.

Abstract
A series of stannous oxide supported on rutile titanium dioxide (SnO/TiO2) were prepared by a conventional incipient wetness impregnation method, and their performance as catalysts for fatty acid esterification reactions was investigated. The effects of Sn precursors (SnCl2·2H2O or SnC2O4), loading amounts (5-15%), and treating ambiences (air and N2) were explored. The optimized 10% SnO/TiO2-Cl with SnCl2·2H2O as the Sn precursor and thermal treatment in N2 showed the best esterification performance. Specifically, 10% SnO/TiO2-Cl catalyzed the esterification process of trimethylolpropane and n-octanoic acid with a conversion of 99.6% over 5 h at 160 °C, and 10% SnO/TiO2-Cl was efficient for six catalytic cycles. Based on the results of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectra, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), infrared spectra of pyridine adsorption (Py-IR), and ammonia temperature programmed desorption (NH3-TPD), the improved catalytic performance is supposed to be attributable to the high dispersion of the Sn species on 10% SnO/TiO2-Cl as the moderate Lewis acid sites.

Abstract
Realization of remote wearable health monitoring (RWHM) technology for the flexible photodiodes is highly desirable in remote-sensing healthcare systems used in space stations, oceans, and forecasting warning, which demands high external quantum efficiency (EQE) and detectivity in NIR region. Traditional inorganic photodetectors (PDs) are mechanically rigid and expensive while the widely reported solution-processed mixed tin-lead (MSP) perovskite photodetectors (PPDs) exhibit a trade-off between EQE and detectivity in the NIR region. Herein, a novel functional passivating antioxidant (FPA) strategy has been introduced for the first time to simultaneously improve crystallization, restrain Sn2+ oxidization, and reduce defects in MSP perovskite films by multiple interactions between thiophene-2-carbohydrazide (TAH) molecules and cations/anions in MSP perovskite. The resultant solution-processed rigid mixed Sn-Pb PPD simultaneously achieves high EQE (75.4% at 840 nm), detectivity (1.8 × 1012 Jones at 840 nm), ultrafast response time (trise /tfall = 94 ns/97 ns), and improved stability. This work also highlights the demonstration of the first flexible photodiode using MSP perovskite and FPA strategy with remarkably high EQE (75% at 840 nm), and operational stability. Most importantly, the RWHM is implemented for the first time in the PIN MSP perovskite photodiodes to remotely monitor the heart rate of humans at rest and after-run conditions.

Abstract
The emerging lead halide perovskites show great potential for their use as emitters in electrically driven light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with external quantum efficiency (EQE) over 25%. While the toxicity of lead and inferior device stability are the main obstacles for their commercialization, replacing Pb2+ with low- or non-toxic metal ions to form low- or zero-dimensional structures provides an alternative approach to effectively tackle these issues. Recently, luminescent lead-free metal halides have been increasingly developed toward eco-friendly and highly efficient electroluminescence. In this feature article, we give a brief overview of recent advances in luminescent lead-free metal halides and their applications in electrically driven LEDs. The challenges and prospects in this field are outlined at the end.

Abstract
Lead (Pb) halide perovskite nanocrystals, with the general formula APbX3 , where A=CH3 NH3+ , CH(NH2 )2+ , or Cs+ and X=Cl- , Br- , or I- , have emerged as a class of materials with promising properties due to their remarkable optical properties and solar cell performance. However, important issues still need to be addressed to enable practical applications of these materials, such as instability, mass production, and Pb toxicity. Recent studies have carried out the replacement of Pb by various less-toxic cations as Sn, Ge, Sb, and Bi. This variety of chemical compositions provide Pb-free perovskite and metal halide nanostructures with a wide spectral range, in addition to being considered less toxic, therefore having greater practical applicability. Highlighting the necessity to address and solve the toxicity problems related to Pb-containing perovskite, this review considers the prospects of the Pb-free perovskite, involving synthesis methods, and properties of them, including advantages, disadvantages, and applications.

Abstract
Despite bulk crystals of silicon (Si) being indirect bandgap semiconductors, their quantum dots (QDs) exhibit the superior photoluminescence (PL) properties including high quantum yield (PLQY > 50%) and spectral tunability in a broad wavelength range. Nevertheless, their low optical absorbance character inhibits the bright emission from the SiQDs for phosphor-type light emitting diodes (LEDs). In contrast, a strong electroluminescence is potentially given by serving SiQDs as an emissive layer of current-driven LEDs with (Si-QLEDs) because the charged carriers are supplied from electrodes unlike absorption of light. Herein, we report that the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of Si-QLED was enhanced up to 12.2% by postproduction effect which induced by continuously applied voltage at 5 V for 9 h. The active layer consisted of SiQDs with a diameter of 2.0 nm. Observation of the cross-section of the multilayer QLEDs device revealed that the interparticle distance between adjacent SiQDs in the emissive layer is reduced to 0.95 nm from 1.54 nm by “post-electric-annealing”. The shortened distance was effective in promoting charge injection into the emission layer, leading improvement of the EQE.

Abstract
Substituting toxic lead with tin (Sn) in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is the most promising route toward the development of high-efficiency lead-free devices. Despite the encouraging efficiencies of Sn-PSCs, they are still yet to surpass 15% and suffer detrimental oxidation of Sn(II) to Sn(IV). Since their first application in 2014, investigations into the properties of Sn-PSCs have contributed to a growing understanding of the mechanisms, both detrimental and complementary to their stability. This review summarizes the evolution of Sn-PSCs, including early developments to the latest state-of-the-art approaches benefitting the stability of devices. The degradation pathways associated with Sn-PSCs are first outlined, followed by describing how composition engineering (A, B site modifications), additive engineering (oxidation prevention), and interface engineering (passivation strategies) can be employed as different avenues to improve the stability of devices. The knowledge about these properties is also not limited to PSCs and also applicable to other types of devices now employing Sn-based perovskite absorber layers. A detailed analysis of the properties and materials chemistry reveals a clear set of design rules for the development of stable Sn-PSCs. Applying the design strategies highlighted in this review will be essential to further improve both the efficiency and stability of Sn-PSCs.

Abstract
Perovskites have attracted great interest in optoelectronics and photonics. As a new class of perovskites, metal-free perovskites have drawn growing attention due to the absence of toxic metal elements in them and their wide chemical diversity. Taking MDABCO-NH4I3 (MDBACO = N-methyl-N'-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octonium) and MDABCO-NH4Br3 as examples, our first-principles calculations discover two fundamental features of metal-free perovskites that should be crucial for their applications. First, their photoluminescence emission originates from halogen vacancies, instead of the self-trapped exciton generally suggested. Second, in the vicinity of a halogen vacancy, optical excitation from the valence bands to the empty defect bands may cause release of H2 and NH3 molecules, which will not only lead to degradation of the perovskite but also quench its photoluminescence. To prevent the degradation and protect the optoelectronic and photonic performances of metal-free perovskites, short-wavelength illumination needs to be shielded.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskites combine excellent electronic and optical properties, such as defect tolerance and high photoluminescence efficiency, with the benefits of low-cost, large-area, solution-based processing. Composition- and dimension-tunable properties of perovskites have already been utilized in bright and efficient light-emitting diodes (LEDs). At the same time, there are still great challenges ahead to achieving operational and spectral stability of these devices. In this review, the origins of instability of perovskite materials, and reasons for their degradation in LEDs are considered. Then, strategies for improving the stability of perovskite materials are reviewed, such as compositional engineering, dimensionality control, defect passivation, suitable encapsulation matrices, and fabrication of core/shell perovskite nanocrystals. For improvement of the operational stability of perovskite LEDs, the use of inorganic charge-transport layers, optimization of charge balance, and proper thermal management are considered. The review is concluded with a detailed account of the current challenges and a perspective on the key approaches and opportunities on how to reach the goal of stable, bright, and efficient perovskite LEDs.

Abstract
Tin-based perovskites are a promising candidates to replace their toxic lead-based counterparts in optoelectronic applications, such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, the development of tin perovskite LEDs is slow due to the challenge of obtaining high-quality tin perovskite films. Here, a vapor-assisted spin-coating method is developed to achieve high-quality tin perovskites and high-efficiency LEDs. It is revealed that solvent vapor can lead to in situ recrystallization of tin perovskites during the film-formation process, thus significantly improving the crystalline quality with reduced defects. An antioxidant additive is further introduced to suppress the oxidation of Sn2+ and increase the photoluminescence quantum efficiency up to ≈30%, which is an approximately fourfold enhancement in comparison with that of the control method. As a result, efficient tin perovskite LEDs are achieved with a peak external quantum efficiency of 5.3%, which is among the highest efficiency of lead-free perovskite LEDs.

Abstract
Over the past decade, perovskite-based nanomaterials have gained notoriety within the scientific community and have been used for a variety of viable applications. The unique structural properties of these materials, namely good direct bandgap, low density of defects, large absorption coefficient, high sensitivity, long charge carrier lifetime, good selectivity, acceptable stability at room temperature, and good diffusion length have prompted researchers to explore their potential applications in photovoltaics, light-emitting devices, transistors, sensors, and other areas. Perovskite-based devices have shown very excellent sensing performances to numerous chemical and biological compounds in both solid and liquid mediums. When used in sensing devices, Perovskite nanomaterials are for the most part able to detect O2, NO2, CO2, H2O, and other smaller molecules. This review article looks at the use of lead-free halide perovskite materials for humidity sensing. A complete description of the underlying mechanisms and charge transport characteristics that are necessary for a thorough comprehension of the sensing performance will be provided. An overview of considerations and potential recommendations for the creation of new lead-free perovskite nanostructure-based sensors is presented.

Abstract
Lead-free perovskite emitters, particularly 2D tin (Sn) halide perovskites, have attracted considerable academic attention in recent years. However, the problems of Sn oxidation and rapid crystallization lead to an inferior perovskite morphology with high trap states, thus limiting the luminous efficiency of Sn halide perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs). In this study, the authors establish an approach by introducing an organic additive, 2-imidodicarbonic diamide (biuret), to address the issues of Sn oxidation and fast crystallization. The unique symmetrical carbonyl groups in the biuret robustly interact with the Sn-I framework, providing a strong Sn-anchoring effect. Consequently, it also suppresses the easy oxidation of Sn2+ , regulating the crystallization process simultaneously. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations also confirmed the robust interaction between the biuret and the 2D Sn halide perovskite. Furthermore, the authors demonstrate efficient PeLEDs with saturated red emission at 637 nm, a maximum luminance (Lmax ) of 418 cd m-2 , a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQEmax ) of 1.37%, and a half-life (T50 ) of 288 s. This work provides insights on the microcosmic chemical interaction between organics and 2D Sn halide perovskites, advancing the development of efficient lead-free PeLEDs.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskites attract significant attention because of their excellent optoelectronic and semiconducting properties. However, there are environmental concerns related to the toxicity of the lead metal that is mainly used in these perovskites. PEA2SnI4 perovskite is a potential candidate for lead-free perovskites because of its pure red emission. Although, undesired Sn4+ oxidation results in the deterioration of PEA2SnI4 perovskite. We demonstrate the two-step crystallization of PEA2SnI4 through the (i) reprecipitation and (ii) recrystallization processes. A film prepared using this method exhibits narrowed emission, with a full width at half-maximum from 30.0 to 26.1 nm, because of its homogeneous emission. Moreover, the Sn4+ content of two-step-crystallized PEA2SnI4 films is five times lower than that of a control film. Diffusion-ordered spectroscopy analysis indicates that the two-step precursor exhibits a smaller hydrodynamic radius crystal seed, which enhances crystallization during spin coating. The resulting two-step crystallized PEA2SnI4-based light-emitting diode (LED) exhibits a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 0.4% with an average of 0.2%, which is two times greater than that of the control device. This two-step approach may be generalized to synthesize other lead-free materials.

Abstract
Halide segregation is a critical bottleneck that hampers the application of mixed-halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) in both electroluminescent and down-conversion red-light-emitting diodes. Herein, we report a strategy that combines precursor and surface engineering to obtain pure-red-emitting (peaked at 624 nm) NCs with a photoluminescence quantum yield of up to 92% and strongly suppresses the halide segregation of mixed-halide NCs under light irradiation. Red-light-emitting diodes (LED) using these mixed-halide NCs as phosphors exhibit color-stable emission with a negligible peak shift and spectral broadening during operation over 240 min. By contrast, a dramatic peak shift and spectral broadening were observed after 10 min of operation in LEDs based on mixed-halide NCs synthesized by a traditional method. Our strategy is critical to achieving photo- and band-gap-stable mixed-halide perovskite NCs for a variety of optoelectronic applications such as micro-LEDs.

Abstract
Structural defects are ubiquitous for polycrystalline perovskite films, compromising device performance and stability. Herein, a universal method is developed to overcome this issue by incorporating halide perovskite quantum dots (QDs) into perovskite polycrystalline films. CsPbBr3 QDs are deposited on four types of halide perovskite films (CsPbBr3 , CsPbIBr2 , CsPbBrI2 , and MAPbI3 ) and the interactions are triggered by annealing. The ions in the CsPbBr3 QDs are released into the thin films to passivate defects, and concurrently the hydrophobic ligands of QDs self-assemble on the film surfaces and grain boundaries to reduce the defect density and enhance the film stability. For all QD-treated films, PL emission intensity and carrier lifetime are significantly improved, and surface morphology and composition uniformity are also optimized. Furthermore, after the QD treatment, light-induced phase segregation and degradation in mixed-halide perovskite films are suppressed, and the efficiency of mixed-halide CsPbIBr2 solar cells is remarkably improved to over 11% from 8.7%. Overall, this work provides a general approach to achieving high-quality halide perovskite films with suppressed phase segregation, reduced defects, and enhanced stability for optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
Organic–inorganic hybrid halide perovskite materials have attracted considerable research interest, especially for photovoltaics. In addition, their scope has been extended towards light-emitting devices, photodetectors, or detectors. However, the toxicity of lead (Pb) element in perovskite compositions limits their applications. Therefore, a tremendous research effort on replacing is underway. More specifically, tin-based perovskites have shown the highest potential for this purpose. However, many challenges remain before these materials reach the goals of stability, safety, and eventually commercial application. This perspective considers many aspects and the critical development possibilities of tin-based perovskites, including drawbacks and challenges based on their physical properties. Additionally, it provides insights for future device applications that go beyond solar cells. Finally, the existing challenges and opportunities in tin-based perovskites are discussed. This perspective presents the current status and prospects of tin-perovskites and the relevant optoelectronic device applications.![]()

Abstract
Perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) have recently shown significant progress with external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) exceeding 20%. However, PeLEDs with pure-red (620-660 nm) light emission, an essential part for full-color displays, remain a great challenge. Herein, a general approach of spacer cation alloying is employed in Ruddlesden-Popper perovskites (RPPs) for efficient red PeLEDs with precisely tunable wavelengths. By simply tuning the alloying ratio of dual spacer cations, the thickness distribution of quantum wells in the RPP films can be precisely modulated without deteriorating their charge-transport ability and energy funneling processes. Consequently, efficient PeLEDs with tunable emissions between pure red (626 nm) and deep red (671 nm) are achieved with peak EQEs up to 11.5%, representing the highest values among RPP-based pure-red PeLEDs. This work opens a new route for color tuning, which will spur future developments of pure-red or even pure-blue PeLEDs with high performance.

Abstract
As low-dimensional lead-free hybrids with higher stability and lower toxicity than those of three-dimensional lead perovskites, organic antimony(III) halides show great application potential in opt-electronic field owing to diverse topologies along with exceptional optical properties. We report herein an antimony(III) hybrid (MePPh3 )2 SbCl5 with a zero-dimensional (0D) structure, which exhibits brilliant orange emission peaked at 593 nm with near-unity photoluminescent quantum yield (99.4 %). The characterization of photophysical properties demonstrates that the broadband emission with a microsecond lifetime (3.24 μs) arises from self-trapped emission (STE). Electrically driven organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on neat and doped films of (MePPh3 )2 SbCl5 were fabricated. The doped devices show significant improvement in comparison to non-doped OLEDs. Owing to the much improved surface morphology and balanced carrier transport in light-emitting layers of doped devices, the peak luminance, current efficiency (CE) and external quantum efficiency (EQE) are boosted from 82 cd m-2 to 3500 cd m-2 , 1.1 cd A-1 to 6.8 cd A-1 , and 0.7 % to 3.1 % relative to non-doped devices, respectively.

Abstract
Heterostructures, combining perovskite nanocrystals (PNC) and chalcogenide quantum dots, could pave a path to optoelectronic device applications by enabling absorption in the near-infrared region, tailorable electronic properties, and stable crystal structures. Ideally, the heterostructure host material requires a similar lattice constant as the guest which is also constrained by the synthesis protocol and materials selectivity. Herein, we present an efficient one-pot hot-injection method to synthesize colloidal all-inorganic cesium lead halide-lead sulfide (CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I)-PbS) heterostructure nanocrystals (HNCs) via the epitaxial growth of the perovskite onto the presynthesized PbS nanocrystals (NCs). Optical and structural characterization evidenced the formation of heterostructures. The embedding of PbS NCs into CsPbX3 perovskite allows the tuning of the absorption and emission from 400 to 1100 nm by tuning the size and composition of perovskite HNCs. The CsPbI3-PbS HNCs show enhanced stability in ambient conditions. The stability, tunable optical properties, and variable band alignments accessible in this system would have implications in the design of novel optoelectronic applications such as light-emitting diodes, photodetectors, photocatalysis, and photovoltaics.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) perovskites are known as one of the most promising luminescent materials due to their structural diversity and outstanding optoelectronic properties. Compared with 3D perovskites, 2D perovskites have natural quantum well structures, large exciton binding energy (Eb) and outstanding thermal stability, which shows great potential in the next-generation displays and solid-state lighting. In this review, the fundamental structure, photophysical and electrical properties of 2D perovskite films were illustrated systematically. Based on the advantages of 2D perovskites, such as special energy funnel process, ultra-fast energy transfer, dense film and low efficiency roll-off, the remarkable achievements of 2D perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) are summarized, and exciting challenges of 2D perovskite are also discussed. An outlook on further improving the efficiency of pure-blue PeLEDs, enhancing the operational stability of PeLEDs and reducing the toxicity to push this field forward was also provided. This review provides an overview of the recent developments of 2D perovskite materials and LED applications, and outlining challenges for achieving the high-performance devices.

Abstract
Mixed halide azetidinium lead perovskites AzPbBr3-xXx (X = Cl or I) were obtained by mechanosynthesis. With varying halide composition from Cl- to Br- to I-, the chloride and bromide analogues both form in the hexagonal 6H polytype while the iodide adopts the 9R polytype. An intermediate 4H polytype is observed for mixed Br/I compositions. Overall, the structure progresses from 6H to 4H to 9R perovskite polytype with varying halide composition. Rietveld refinement of the powder X-ray diffraction patterns revealed a linear variation in unit cell volume as a function of the average radius of the anion, which not only is observed within the solid solution of each polytype (according to Vegard's law) but also extends uniformly across all three polytypes. This is correlated to a progressive (linear) tuning of the bandgap from 3.43 to 2.00 eV. Regardless of halide, the family of azetidinium halide perovskite polytypes are highly stable, with no discernible change in properties over more than 6 months under ambient conditions.

Abstract
For its ultrahigh sensitivity, the microfluidic system combined with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) becomes one of the most interesting topics in integrated online monitoring related fields. In previous reports, the commonest surface plasmon-enhanced substrates in microfluidics consist of immobilized metal nanostructures on the channel surface to overcome the disturbance of Brownian motion. In this work, a hybrid optoplasmonic microfluidic conveyer is developed, in which the movable, highly ordered optoplasmonic particles are delivered to the detection spot for SERS detection. Here, the optoplasmonic particle is the SiO2 microsphere with in situ photochemical reduced Ag nanoparticles on the surface. Because of the converged light at the SiO2 microsphere surface, the SERS spectra collected at this optoplasmonic particle in the channel exhibit excellent performance, which is confirmed by the simulated electric field distribution. In addition, the experimental data also demonstrate that the quantitative analysis is achieved at 1 nM in this optoplasmonic microfluidic conveyer. Furthermore, the used optoplasmonic particle can be ejected from the microfluidic channel by modulating the velocity of injected fluid such that the new optoplasmonic particle will be delivered to the detection spot for repeatable SERS detection in the same channel. The dynamic process of optoplasmonic particle transport is investigated in this microconveyer, and the built theoretical model to predict the particle release is highly identical with the experimental data. These data point out that our hybrid optoplasmonic microfluidic conveyer has repeatable enhanced substrates with the high SERS sensitivity to overcome the cross-contamination of different target molecules in repeatable detection.

Abstract
Reducing environmental impact is a key challenge for perovskite optoelectronics, as most high-performance devices are based on potentially toxic lead-halide perovskites. For photovoltaic solar cells, tin-lead (Sn-Pb) perovskite materials provide a promising solution for reducing toxicity. However, Sn-Pb perovskites typically exhibit low luminescence efficiencies, and are not ideal for light-emitting applications. Here we demonstrate highly luminescent germanium-lead (Ge-Pb) perovskite films with photoluminescence quantum efficiencies (PLQEs) of up to ~71%, showing a considerable relative improvement of ~34% over similarly prepared Ge-free, Pb-based perovskite films. In our initial demonstration of Ge-Pb perovskite LEDs, we achieve external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) of up to ~13.1% at high brightness (~1900 cd m-2), a step forward for reduced-toxicity perovskite LEDs. Our findings offer a new solution for developing eco-friendly light-emitting technologies based on perovskite semiconductors.

Abstract
Harnessing cost-efficient printable semiconductor materials as near-infrared (NIR) emitters in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is extremely attractive for sensing and diagnostics, telecommunications, and biomedical sciences. However, the most efficient NIR LEDs suitable for printable electronics rely on emissive materials containing precious transition metal ions (such as platinum), which have triggered concerns about their poor biocompatibility and sustainability. Here, we review and highlight the latest progress in NIR LEDs based on non-toxic and low-cost functional materials suitable for solution-processing deposition. Different approaches to achieve NIR emission from organic and hybrid materials are discussed, with particular focus on fluorescent and exciplex-forming host-guest systems, thermally activated delayed fluorescent molecules, aggregation-induced emission fluorophores, as well as lead-free perovskites. Alternative strategies leveraging photonic microcavity effects and surface plasmon resonances to enhance the emission of such materials in the NIR are also presented. Finally, an outlook for critical challenges and opportunities of non-toxic NIR LEDs is provided.

Abstract
Tin perovskites have emerged as promising alternatives to toxic lead perovskites in next-generation photovoltaics, but their poor environmental stability remains an obstacle towards more competitive performances. Therefore, a full understanding of their decomposition processes is needed to address these stability issues. Herein, we elucidate the degradation mechanism of 2D/3D tin perovskite films based on (PEA)0.2(FA)0.8SnI3 (where PEA is phenylethylammonium and FA is formamidinium). We show that SnI4, a product of the oxygen-induced degradation of tin perovskite, quickly evolves into iodine via the combined action of moisture and oxygen. We identify iodine as a highly aggressive species that can further oxidise the perovskite to more SnI4, establishing a cyclic degradation mechanism. Perovskite stability is then observed to strongly depend on the hole transport layer chosen as the substrate, which is exploited to tackle film degradation. These key insights will enable the future design and optimisation of stable tin-based perovskite optoelectronics.

Abstract
Two-dimensional perovskites that could be regarded as natural organic-inorganic hybrid quantum wells (HQWs) are promising for light-emitting diode (LED) applications. High photoluminescence quantum efficiencies (approaching 80%) and extremely narrow emission bandwidth (less than 20 nm) have been demonstrated in their single crystals; however, a reliable electrically driven LED device has not been realized owing to inefficient charge injection and extremely poor stability. Furthermore, the use of toxic lead raises concerns. Here, we report Sn(II)-based organic-perovskite HQWs employing molecularly tailored organic semiconducting barrier layers for efficient and stable LEDs. Utilizing femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, we demonstrate the energy transfer from organic barrier to inorganic perovskite emitter occurs faster than the intramolecular charge transfer in the organic layer. Consequently, this process allows efficient conversion of lower-energy emission associated with the organic layer into higher-energy emission from the perovskite layer. This greatly broadened the candidate pool for the organic layer. Incorporating a bulky small bandgap organic barrier in the HQW, charge transport is enhanced and ion migration is greatly suppressed. We demonstrate a HQW-LED device with pure red emission, a maximum luminance of 3466 cd m-2, a peak external quantum efficiency up to 3.33%, and an operational stability of over 150 h, which are significantly better than previously reported lead-free perovskite LEDs.

Abstract
Colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) of lead halide perovskites have generated considerable interest in the fabrication of optoelectronic devices, such as light emitting-diodes (LEDs), because of their tunable optical bandgap, narrow spectral width, and high defect tolerance. However, the inhomogeneous halide distribution within individual NCs remains a critical challenge in order to obtain color-stable electroluminescence in mixed-halide systems. Here, we demonstrate a new post-synthetic approach, ligand-assisted solid phase synthesis (LASPS), for the preparation of electroluminescent colloidal NCs of methylammonium (MA) lead halide perovskites, at room temperature. The slow reaction kinetics preserves the morphology, size, and shape in the resulting NCs whose emission covers the entire visible spectral region with photoluminescence (PL) quantum yields (QYs) of up to >90% and colloidal stability up to several months. The LEDs fabricated using the prepared mixed-halide NCs display narrowband electroluminescence (EL) ranging from 476 to 720 nm. The optimized red LEDs exhibit an external quantum efficiency, η ext, of up to 2.65%, with the CIE 1931 color coordinates of (0.705, 0.290), nearly identical to those of the red primary in the recommendation (rec.) 2020 standard (0.708, 0.292).

Abstract
Quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) perovskites have attracted extraordinary attention due to their superior semiconducting properties and have emerged as one of the most promising materials for next-generation light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The outstanding optical properties originate from their structural characteristics. In particular, the inherent quantum-well structure endows them with a large exciton binding energy due to the strong dielectric- and quantum-confinement effects; the corresponding energy transfer among different n-value species thus results in high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs), particularly at low excitation intensities. The review herein presents an overview of the inherent properties of quasi-2D perovskite materials, the corresponding energy transfer and spectral tunability methodologies for thin films, as well as their application in high-performance LEDs. We then summarize the challenges and potential research directions towards developing high-performance and stable quasi-2D PeLEDs. The review thus provides a systematic and timely summary for the community to deepen the understanding of quasi-2D perovskite materials and resulting LED devices.

Abstract
Solar-driven photoelectrochemical (PEC) hydrogen production is one of the most effective strategies for solar-to-hydrogen energy conversion. Among various types of semiconductors used for PEC anodes, colloidal quantum dots (QDs) have been widely used as new and promising absorbers for PEC and other optoelectronic devices. However, currently, most efficient optoelectronic devices contain toxic Pb/Cd elements or non-earth-abundant elements (In/Ag). It is still a challenge to produce Pb/Cd-free QDs without using any toxic and non-earth-abundant elements. Here, we synthesized SnSe QDs via a diffusion-controlled hot injection approach and further stabilized the as-prepared SnSe QDs via a cation exchange reaction. The as-synthesized Zn-stabilized SnSe QDs (SnSe/ZnSe) have an orthorhombic crystal structure with indirect bandgaps ranging from 1 to 1.37 eV. Zn stabilization can significantly decrease the number of QD surface metallic Sn bonds, thereby decreasing the number of recombination centers of defects/traps. As a proof-of-concept, SnSe/ZnSe QDs are used as light absorbers for PEC hydrogen production, leading to a saturated photocurrent density of 7 mA cm-2, which is comparable to best values reported for PEC devices based on toxic-metal-free QDs. Our results indicate that Zn-stabilized SnSe QDs have great potential for use in emerging optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Lead-based halide perovskites have received great attention in light-emitting applications due to their excellent properties, including high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), tunable emission wavelength, and facile solution preparation. In spite of excellent characteristics, the presence of toxic element lead directly obstructs their further commercial development. Hence, exploiting lead-free halide perovskite materials with superior properties is urgent and necessary. In this review, the deep-seated reasons that benefit light emission for halide perovskites, which help to develop lead-free halide perovskites with excellent performance, are first emphasized. Recent advances in lead-free halide perovskite materials (single crystals, thin films, and nanocrystals with different dimensionalities) from synthesis, crystal structures, optical and optoelectronic properties to applications are then systematically summarized. In particular, phosphor-converted LEDs and electroluminescent LEDs using lead-free halide perovskites are fully examined. Ultimately, based on current development of lead-free halide perovskites, the future directions of lead-free halide perovskites in terms of materials and light-emitting devices are discussed.

Abstract
CsPbBr3 quantum dots (QDs) have been recently suggested for their application as bright green light-emitting diodes (LEDs); however, their optical properties are yet to be fully understood and characterized. In this work, we utilize time-dependent density functional theory to analyze the ground and excited states of the CsPbBr3 clusters in the presence of various low formation energy vacancy defects. Our study finds that the QD perovskites retain their defect tolerance with limited perturbance to the simulated UV-vis spectra. The exception to this general trend is that Br vacancies must be avoided, as they cause molecular orbital localization, resulting in trap states and lower LED performance. Blinking will likely still plague CsPbBr3 QDs, given that the charged defects critically perturb the spectra via red-shifting and lower absorbance. Our study provides insight into the tunability of CsPbBr3 QDs optical properties by understanding the nature of the electronic excitations and guiding improved development for high-performance LEDs.

Abstract
Doping is an effective strategy for tailoring the optical properties of 0D Cs4PbX6 (X = Cl, Br, and I) perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) and expanding their applications. Herein, a unique approach is reported for the controlled synthesis of pure-phase Mn2+-doped Cs4PbCl6 perovskite NCs and the excited-state dynamics of Mn2+ is unveiled through temperature-dependent steady-state and transient photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Because of the spatially confined 0D structure of Cs4PbCl6 perovskite, the NCs exhibit drastically different PL properties of Mn2+ in comparison with their 3D CsPbCl3 analogues, including significantly improved PL quantum yield in solid form (25.8%), unusually long PL lifetime (26.2 ms), large exciton binding energy, strong electron-phonon coupling strength, and an anomalous temperature evolution of Mn2+-PL decay from a dominant slow decay (in tens of ms scale) at 300 K to a fast decay (in 1 ms scale) at 10 K. These findings provide fundamental insights into the excited-state dynamics of Mn2+ in 0D Cs4PbCl6 NCs, thus laying a foundation for future design of 0D perovskite NCs through metal ion doping toward versatile applications.

Color-pure red light-emitting diodes based on two-dimensional lead-free perovskites. SCIENCE ADVANCES 2020; 6:6/42/eabb0253. [PMID: 33055155 PMCID: PMC7556835 DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abb0253] [Citation(s) in RCA: 53] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2020] [Accepted: 08/28/2020] [Indexed: 05/21/2023]
Abstract
It remains a central challenge to the information display community to develop red light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that meet demanding color coordinate requirements for wide color gamut displays. Here, we report high-efficiency, lead-free (PEA)2SnI4 perovskite LEDs (PeLEDs) with color coordinates (0.708, 0.292) that fulfill the Rec. 2100 specification for red emitters. Using valeric acid (VA)-which we show to be strongly coordinated to Sn2+-we slow the crystallization rate of the perovskite, improving the film morphology. The incorporation of VA also protects tin from undesired oxidation during the film-forming process. The improved films and the reduced Sn4+ content enable PeLEDs with an external quantum efficiency of 5% and an operating half-life exceeding 15 hours at an initial brightness of 20 cd/m2 This work illustrates the potential of Cd- and Pb-free PeLEDs for display technology.

Abstract
Perovskite-based optoelectronic devices, especially perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) and perovskite solar cells, have recently attracted considerable attention. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) chart inspires us to develop a counterpart for PeLEDs. In this study, we collect the record performance of PeLEDs including several new entries to address their latest external quantum efficiency (EQE), highest luminance, and stability status. We hope that these performance tables and future updated versions will show the frontiers of PeLEDs, assist researchers in capturing the overview of this field, identify the remaining challenges, and predict the promising research directions.

Abstract
Recently, newly emerging lead halide perovskites have attracted great attention as a new class of light emitters in luminescent devices because of their superior photoluminescence quantum yield, adjustable emission wavelength, high charge-carrier transport ability, and low-temperature processing technique. However, the poor stability and lead toxicity of such materials severely restrict their practical applications and future commercialization. Therefore, recent efforts have been devoted to developing lead-free metal halide perovskites and their derivatives to address the above hurdles. In this Perspective, we first review the recent progress on the lead-free metal halide materials and their optical properties. We then discuss the stability issues of lead-free perovskites against heat, ultraviolet light, oxygen, and moisture. Further, we give a demonstration of the preliminary achievements and limitations in lead-free material-based light-emitting devices. Finally, we present current existing challenges and possible development opportunities in this field based on lead-free material systems.
