Upscaling efficient and stable perovskite materials is vital for metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) and additive engineering contributes a lot to making high‐quality PSCs. While the recent examples involved mixing dimethylammonium (DMA) cation has been employed for the fabrication of all‐inorganic perovskites with improved efficiency and stability, the role of DMA cation in hybrid perovskite (formamidinium lead triiodide, denoted as FAPbI3) remains inconclusive. Herein, DMA cations are substituted for FA sites of Cs0.12FA0.88PbI3 for printable triple mesoscopic PSCs and shed lights on the roles and mechanism of DMA in the perovskite. It is found that a small amount of DMA is doped into the perovskite lattices, meanwhile, an intermediate compound DMAPbI3 is formed and exists at grain boundaries, which improves the crystallinity of perovskite films and reduces nonradiative recombination through a passivation role. With these benefits, the best‐performing printable PSC attained a power conversion efficiency of 17.46%. Unencapsulated devices maintained over 96% of the initial efficiencies in ambient condition for 960 h and 95% of the initial efficiencies after 360 h under continuous thermal aging at 85 °C in N2 atmosphere.

Tris(8‐hydroquinoline) aluminum (Alq3) plays an important role in the applications of green organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs). In this paper, Alq3 nanofilms were prepared on glass substrates by physical vapor deposition system with different surface states. The structures and morphologies of Alq3 nanofilms were characterized by X‐ray diffractometer and scanning electron microscope. Alq3 nanomaterials were used as the main luminescent material for green OLED devices. The structure of the green OLED is Mo/2‐TNATA (20 nm)/NPB (10 nm)/Alq3 (25 nm):Ir(ppy)3 (5%)/Bphen (10 nm)/LiF (5 nm)/Mg:Ag (10%) (10 nm). The photoelectric properties of green OLED devices were characterized by the system of Photo Research PR655 spectrometer. The results show that the weak interactions among Alq3 molecules such as π–π bond interactions and van der Waals forces caused molecules self‐assembling into nanospheres, nanospherical chains, nanowires, or nanotubes in physical vapor deposition system. Precise surface state control of Alq3 nanomaterials can be realized by controlling the deposition temperature, thus, to enhance properties for green OLED displays. It is found that among different morphologies, Alq3 nanotubes have been proved to be the best green OLED devices with the brightness of 11,490 cd/m2, CIE (3358, 0.6302) at 5 V, and the current efficiency is 20.24 cd/A.

White-light OLED devices play an important application in information display fields. Optical interference of the microcavity structure has an important effect on device performances. According to the design of the band structure, ITO/MoO3 composite films were used as the anode, and Mg : Ag (1%) composite films were prepared by coevaporation as the translucent cathode; CuPc was used as the hole injection layer and anode passivation layer, NPB as the hole transmission layer and yellow light main material, rubrene as yellow dopant material, ADN as blue light main material, DSA-Ph as blue dopant material, and TPBi and Alq3 as the electron transport layers. We realized the change of the microcavity structure by adjusting the thickness of each organic functional layer film and simulated and calculated the optimized thickness of each organic film layer and influence on OLED device performances using the SimOLED software system. The optimized OLED microdisplay structure is Si(CMOS)/ITO (35 nm)/MoO3 (2 nm)/CuPc (5 nm)/2-TNATA (20 nm)/NPB (10 nm)/NPB : rubrene (1.5%)ADN : DSA-Ph (5%) (25 nm)/TPBi (15 nm)/Alq3 (1.2 nm)/Mg (13 nm) : Ag (1%). The optimized OLED microdisplay was prepared by the vacuum coating system, and the photoelectric performances of the OLED device were characterized by a spectral testing system consisting of the Photo Research PR655 spectrometer and Keithley 2400 program-controlled power supply. The effect of the microcavity structure on OLED device performances was studied. The results show that the variation of the film thickness of each organic functional layer has an important effect on the performances of OLED microdisplay, such as brightness and color coordinate, and the OLED microdisplay reaches a higher brightness of 3342 cd/m2 under the normal working voltage at 5.0 V after the structure is optimized, with CIE coordinate (0.28, 0.37), which is closer to the energy point of standard white light.
