Improved extraction efficiency of CsPbBr3 perovskite light-emitting diodes due to anodic aluminum oxide nanopore structure

Abstract

AbstractIn this work, we investigate the improvement in the performance of a CsPbBr3 perovskite light-emitting diode (PeLED) due to an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) nanopore structure. The AAO structure in the CsPbBr3 PeLED structure can improve the light extraction efficiency of CsPbBr3 PeLEDs in two ways: the emission light in the side direction being redirected to the normal direction due to the light scattering effect caused by aluminum oxide nanopores and the effective emission area as a result of the rough surface of the AAO structure. The peak luminance, current efficiency, and external quantum efficiency (EQE) were 11,460 cd/m2, 2.03 cd/A, and 0.69% at a bias of 6.0 V, respectively. For comparison, the luminance, current efficiency, and EQE values of CsPbBr3 PeLEDs with the AAO structure using 50 V of pore-expanding voltage demonstrated improvements of 282%, 190%, and 1280%, respectively, over CsPbBr3 PeLEDs without the AAO structure.
