High-Performance White Emission from Cu-Based Perovskite Compound

The white emissions based on lead-free perovskites with broadband emission due to self-trapped excitons (STEs) are considered as an ideal candidate for next-generation white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs). Recently, copper-based halide perovskites Cs3Cu2I5@CsCu2I3 composites films with a high color-rendering index (CRI) have been developed for WLEDs. However, the Cs3Cu2I5@CsCu2I3 composites generally exhibit a relatively low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). Herein, a high PLQY up to 86.75% copper-based perovskite Gua3Cu2I5 (Gua = guanidine) films with a broadband strong yellow STEs emission centered at 544 nm is synthesized. By combining with efficient blue STEs emission Cs3Cu2I5 component via composition engineering of Cs3Cu2I5@Gua3Cu2I5, a high PLQY of up to 96.1% is achieved on the white emission composites films. Moreover, a high CRI of 93 WLEDs is achieved by integrating Cs3Cu2I5@Gua3Cu2I5 composites film onto a UV LED chip. These findings provide a simple and effective strategy for designing highly efficient white light-emitting diodes. Cs3Cu2I5@Gua3Cu2I5 composite films are synthesized by combining blue self-trapped excitons (STEs) emission Cs3Cu2I5 with yellow STEs emission Gua3Cu2I5 via composition engineering. The composites films exhibit desired white light emission with two broadband peaks centered at 444 and 544 nm. Moreover, the WLEDs show a high PLQY up to 96.1% and a high CRI of 93. image
