White light-emitting devices based on ZnCdS/ZnS and perovskite nanocrystal heterojunction

Perovskite white light-emitting devices (WLEDs) without intercalation layers have not been achieved due to the ion exchange. Although the intercalation layers prevent ion exchange between perovskite nanocrystals (NCs), it also creates a new problem of charge imbalance and the structure becomes more complex. In this study, blue emitting ZnCdS/ZnS NCs with high quantum yield and stability are introduced to work with the yellow emission from CsPb(Br/I)3 perovskite NCs for WLEDs. The WLEDs are constituted of ITO/ZnO/PEI/ZnCdS/ZnS NCs/CsPb(Br/I)3 NCs/TCTA/MoO3/Au. This design avoids ion exchange between different perovskites NCs, and realizes white light emission by simple fabrication. As a result, we achieved the white light coordinates of (0.34, 0.34) and a correlated color temperature of 5153 K.
