Metal halide perovskites have exhibited great potential in next-generation display applications owing to their high colour purity and high photoluminescence quantum yields. They are known to be highly defect-tolerant compared with conventional semiconductors. However, multiple evidence shows that the effect of defects has significant impacts on the performance of light-emitting diodes. Additionally, we can not ignore the impact of carrier injection on the perovskite light-emitting diode performance. Based on the fundamental principles of perovskite passivation, we introduced multifunctional phosphine-containing molecules, including diphenylphosphinamide and phosphonic acid, as the additive to passivate surface defects, modulate the phase distribution, and smooth the energy transfer of the quasi-2D perovskite, giving rise to higher optoelectronic properties of perovskites and better performance. Meanwhile, we designed the tris(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)phosphine oxide to modulate the energy level and hole mobility of originally commercial poly(9-vinylcarbazole) layer, resulting efficient blue perovskite light-emitting diodes. demonstrate that phosphine-containing molecules not only serve as passivation agents for perovskites but also modify the properties of the charge transport layer. We believe that phosphine-containing molecules hold significant potential for enhancing the performance of perovskite LEDs.
