While light-emitting diodes (LEDs) made from lead halide perovskites have demonstrated external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) well over 20% [1]–[4], their electrical stability must be addressed before they are seriously considered for commercial applications [5]–[8]. In an effort to improve the optoelectronic properties of lead halide perovskites for light emission, many researchers have investigated introducing both alkaline-earth metal ions [9], [10] (e.g., Ba2+ and Sr2+) and transition metal ions [11]–[13] (e.g., Mn2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, and Ni2+) into the B-site of the perovskite’s ABX3 structure. Additionally, the factors that limit the electrical stability of perovskite LEDs remain under investigation [5]–[7], [14]–[16]. In this work, we dope Mn2+ ions into an organic-inorganic hybrid quasi-bulk 3D perovskite resulting into (PEABr)0.2Cs0.4MA0.6Pb0.7Mn0.3Br3 thin films with the addition of tris(4-fluorophenyl)phosphine oxide (TFPPO) dissolved in a chloroform antisolvent to achieve an EQE of 13.4% and a peak luminance of 95,400 cd/m2. While the inclusion of TFPPO into the chloroform antisolvent dramatically increases the EQE of perovskite LEDs, the electrical stability is severely compromised. At an electrical bias of 5 mA/cm2, our perovskite LED fabricated with a pure chloroform antisolvent (2.5% EQE) decays to half of its initial luminance in 90.68 minutes. Alternatively, our perovskite LED fabricated with TFPPO (13.4% EQE) decays to half of its initial luminance in 2.07 min. In order to investigate this trade-off in EQE and electrical stability, we study both photophysical and electronic characteristics before and after electrical degradation of the perovskite LEDs. We find that given identical electrical degradation conditions, the TFPPO-based device’s turn on voltage and overall electrical resistance increases in a much larger fashion as compared to the pure chloroform-based device. While the EQE characteristics of this Mn2+-doped perovskite LED show promise for B-site engineered perovskites, there is still large concern to simultaneously achieve both energy-efficient and electrically stable perovskite-enabled lighting. Uncovering the effects from the TFPPO additive on perovskite LEDs will reveal pathways on how to mitigate their negative consequences on electrical stability while retaining their energy-efficiency boosting properties.

nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
