Fully Chiral Light Emission from CsPbX3 Perovskite Nanocrystals Enabled by Cholesteric Superstructure Stacks

Abstract Halide perovskites have received tremendous attention due to their fantastic optical and electrical properties. Here, circularly polarized light emission is successfully demonstrated using a simple configuration consisting of inorganic perovskite nanocrystals embedded within a predefined handedness cholesteric superstructure stack. The helical structured cholesteric liquid crystal film acts as a selective filter to transform the unpolarized light emission from perovskite nanocrystals into circularly polarized luminescence. The transformation is accompanied by an extraordinary dissymmetry factor (| g lum |) up to 1.6, well‐defined handedness, high photoluminescence quantum yield, and full‐color availability. Furthermore, the circularly polarized luminescence is angular dependent and can easily be modulated by shifting the overlap of the reflection band and the emission band. The proposed method is more straightforward and powerful than the previous approaches, offering new opportunities in optoelectronic and photonic devices.
