Bright and Color-Tunable Single Layer Perovskite Host-Ionic Guest Light Emitting Electrochemical Cells

Perovskite light emitting devices have drawn considerable attention for their favorable optoelectronic properties. High carrier mobilities make perovskites excellent candidates as host materials in electroluminescent devices. To achieve high performance in a simple single layer device, we employed a CsPbBr3 perovskite host and a novel ionic iridium complex guest along with a polyelectrolyte to demonstrate efficient light emitting electrochemical cells (PeLECs). For an optimal guest/host blend, 10600 cd/m2 luminance at 11.6 cd/A and 9.04 Lm/W are achieved at 4.1 V. These devices showed voltage-dependent electroluminescence color proceeding from orange-red to green, facilitated by the reconfigurable ionic materials blend. Optimized devices exhibited stable operation under constant current driving, maintaining >630 cd/m2 emission for 40 h. Our rationally-designed ionic guest at an optimal concentration of the host produced efficient (>90%) Forster energy transfer and improved thin film morphological for high performance PeLEC operation enabled by ionic migration to interfaces
