Interfacial 'Anchoring Effect' Enables Efficient Large‐Area Sky‐Blue Perovskite Light‐Emitting Diodes

While tremendous progress has recently been made in perovskite light‐emitting diodes (PeLEDs), large‐area blue devices feature inferior performance due to uneven morphologies and vast defects in the solution‐processed perovskite films. To alleviate these issues, a facile and reliable interface engineering scheme is reported for manipulating the crystallization of perovskite films enabled by a multifunctional molecule 2‐amino‐1,3‐propanediol (APDO)‐triggered “anchoring effect” at the grain‐growth interface. Sky‐blue perovskite films with large‐area uniformity and low trap states are obtained, showing the distinctly improved radiative recombination and hole‐transport capability. Based on the APDO‐induced interface engineering, synergistical boost in device performance is achieved for large‐area sky‐blue PeLED (measuring at 100 mm2) with a peak external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 9.2% and a highly prolonged operational lifetime. A decent EQE up to 6.1% is demonstrated for the largest sky‐blue device emitting at 400 mm2.
A facile and effective grain‐growth manipulation scheme enabled by interface “anchoring effect” is proposed for high‐quality sky‐blue perovskite emitter. Remarkable boost in device performance is achieved for large‐scale sky‐blue perovskite LEDs with peak external quantum efficiencies of 9.2% and 6.1% measured at scales of 100 and 400 mm2, respectively.
