Abstract

The modification of perovskite precursor by a series of phosphoryl chloride molecules can indeed improve the performance of perovskite LEDs (Pero-LEDs). The bis(2-oxo-3-oxazolidinyl) phosphinic chloride can not only regulate the phase distribution by controlling the crystallization rate but also passivate the defects of the quasi-2D perovskite. Highly efficient and reproducible Pero-LEDs are achieved with an maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 20.82% and an average EQE (EQE) of around 20% on 50 devices. Quasi-2D perovskites have attracted tremendous interest for application as light-emission layers in light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, the heterogeneous n phase and non-uniform distribution still severely limit the further development of quasi-2D perovskite LEDs (Pero-LEDs). Meanwhile, the increased defect density caused by the reduced dimension and grain size induces non-radiative recombination and further deteriorates the device performance. Here, we found that a series of molecules containing phosphoryl chloride functional groups have noticeable enhancement effects on the device performance of quasi-2D Pero-LEDs. Then, we studied the modification mechanism by focusing on the bis(2-oxo-3-oxazolidinyl) phosphinic chloride (BOPCl). It is concluded that the BOPCl can not only regulate the phase distribution by decreasing the crystallization rate but also remain in the grain boundaries and passivate the defects. As a result, the corresponding quasi-2D Pero-LEDs obtained a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 20.82% and an average EQE (EQE) of around 20% on the optimal 50 devices, proving excellent reproducibility. Our work provides a new selection of molecular types for regulating the crystallization and passivating the defects of quasi-2D perovskite films.
