Abstract

Perovskite-based white-light-emitting devices (WLEDs) are expected to be the potential candidate for the next-generation lighting field due to their scalability and low-cost process. However, simple and adjustable WLED fabrication technology is in urgent need. Here, WLEDs with a single layer of perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) were constructed by combining Zn2+-doped CsPbBr3 PQDs with exciplex emission between poly(9-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) and ((1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)benzene)) (TPBi). Zn2+-doped CsPbBr3 PQDs with polar ion shells were prepared by means of low temperature and post-treatment. The photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) can reach as high as 95.9% at the emission wavelength of 456 nm. The blue shift of its PL (∼60 nm) is much greater than that of other reported Zn2+-doped CsPbBr3 PQDs (5-10 nm), thus realizing the true blue-emission Zn2+-doped CsPbBr3 PQDs. As a result, just by controlling the thickness of TPBi, the adjustment of cold (CIE (0.2531, 0.2502)) and warm WLEDs (CIE (0.3561, 0.3562)) is realized for the first time.
