Characterization of stability and challenges to improve lifetime in perovskite LEDs

Nature Photonics volume 15, pages 630–634 (2021)Cite this article

Subjects

Low stability of perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) is the biggest obstacle to the commercialization of PeLED displays. Here, we cover the current status and challenges in analysing and improving the stability of PeLEDs and suggest some advice that will benefit the community to boost the operational lifetime of PeLEDs.
