Breaking the Carrier Injection Bottleneck of Phosphor-Free Nanowire White Light-Emitting Diodes

We have examined the carrier injection process of axial nanowire light-emitting diode (LED) structures and identified that poor carrier injection efficiency, due to the large surface recombination, is the primary cause for the extremely low output power of phosphor-free nanowire white LEDs. We have...

description We have examined the carrier injection process of axial nanowire light-emitting diode (LED) structures and identified that poor carrier injection efficiency, due to the large surface recombination, is the primary cause for the extremely low output power of phosphor-free nanowire white LEDs. We have further developed InGaN/GaN/AlGaN dot-in-a-wire core–shell white LEDs on Si substrate, which can break the carrier injection efficiency bottleneck, leading to a massive enhancement in the output power. At room temperature, the devices can exhibit an output power of ∼1.5 mW, which is more than 2 orders of magnitude stronger than nanowire LEDs without shell coverage. Additionally, such phosphor-free nanowire white LEDs can deliver an unprecedentedly high color rendering index of ∼92–98 in both the warm and cool white regions, with the color rendering capability approaching that of an ideal light source, i.e. a blackbody.
