Efficient All-Perovskite White Light-Emitting Diodes Made of In Situ Grown Perovskite-Mesoporous Silica Nanocomposites

Metal halide perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have emerged as potential materials for high brightness, wide color gamut, and cost-effective backlight emission due to their high photoluminescence quantum yields, narrow emission linewidths, and tunable bandgaps. Herein, CsPbX₃/SBA-15 nanocomposites are prepared with outstanding optical properties and high stability through an in situ growth strategy using mesoporous silica particles. According to finite-difference time-domain simulations, the mesoporous structure provides a strong waveguide effect on perovskite QDs and the uniform dispersion suppresses reabsorption losses, improving the overall photoconversion efficiency of perovskite QDs. The as-fabricated perovskite monochromatic light-emitting diode (LED) has a maximum luminous efficiency of 183 lm W⁻¹, which is the highest for monochromatic perovskite LEDs reported to date. A further benefit of this work is that the white devices, which combine the green and red perovskite nanocomposites with commercial blue LED, exhibit a high luminous efficiency of 116 lm W⁻¹ and a wide color gamut (125% for NTSC and 94% for Rec. 2020) with coordinates of (0.33,0.31).
