Two-dimensional Ruddlesden-Popper layered perovskite for light-emitting diodes

Abstract

Solution-processed metal halide perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) have attracted extensive attention due to the great potential application in energy-efficient lighting and displays. Two-dimensional Ruddlesden-Popper (2DRP) layered perovskites exhibit high photoluminescence quantum efficiency, improved film morphology, and enhanced operational stability over their three-dimensional counterparts, making them attractive for high-performance PeLEDs. In addition, 2DRP perovskite materials with a tunable exciton binding energy are suitable for preparing PeLEDs with color-tunability. In this perspective, we first introduce the merits of the 2DRP layered perovskites in terms of their structural characteristics. The progress in 2DRP PeLEDs is then reviewed. The challenges and new opportunities of the PeLEDs are finally discussed. We hope to open up new perspectives for rational designs of the 2DRP perovskite materials for PeLEDs with unprecedented efficiency and stability.
