Interfacial “Anchoring Effect” Enables Efficient Large‐Area Sky‐Blue Perovskite Light‐Emitting Diodes

While tremendous progress has recently been made in perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs), large-area blue devices feature inferior performance due to uneven morphologies and vast defects in the solution-processed perovskite films. To alleviate these issues, a facile and reliable interface engineering scheme is reported for manipulating the crystallization of perovskite films enabled by a multifunctional molecule 2-amino-1,3-propanediol (APDO)-triggered "anchoring effect" at the grain-growth interface. Sky-blue perovskite films with large-area uniformity and low trap states are obtained, showing the distinctly improved radiative recombination and hole-transport capability. Based on the APDO-induced interface engineering, synergistical boost in device performance is achieved for large-area sky-blue PeLED (measuring at 100 mm2 ) with a peak external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 9.2% and a highly prolonged operational lifetime. A decent EQE up to 6.1% is demonstrated for the largest sky-blue device emitting at 400 mm2 .
