Strategies to Improve the Stability of Perovskite Light-Emitting Diodes: Progress and Perspective

Perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) featuring excellent electroluminescent (EL) characteristics and facile production have been emerging as promising candidates for next-generation high-definition displays. In recent years, tremendous advances have been achieved in the EL efficiency of PeLEDs. However, their poor operational stability impedes practical applications. Particularly, the severe spectral instability of pure-blue and pure-red PeLEDs lags far behind the requirements of commercial displays. In this Perspective, the critical factors related to device degradation are first summarized, including perovskite crystal defects, unbalanced charge injection, Auger recombination, and Joule heating. Then, the recent progress in improving the operational and spectral stabilities is reviewed in categories. Considering the present achievements, we provide potential research directions for further development of stable PeLEDs.
