Abstract

AbstractFluoro‐substituted aromatic alkylammonium spacer cations are found effective to improve the performance of quasi‐2D perovskite light‐emitting diodes (PeLEDs). The fluorine substitution is generally attributed to the defect passivation, quantum well width control, and energy level adjustments. However, the substituted cations can also affect the crystallization process but is not thoroughly studied. Herein, a comparison study is carried out using bare PEA cation and three different fluoro‐substituted PEA (x‐F‐PEA, x = o, ortho; m, meta; p, para) cations to investigate the impacts of different substitution sites on the perovskite crystallization and orientations. By using GIWAXS, p‐F‐PEA cation is found to induce the strongest preferential out‐of‐plane orientations with the best crystallinity in quasi‐2D perovskite. Using dynamic light scattering (DLS) methods, larger colloidal particles (630 nm) are revealed in p‐F‐PEA precursor solutions than the PEA cations (350 nm). The larger particles can accelerate the crystallization process and induce out‐of‐plane orientation from increased dipole–dipole interaction. The transient absorption measurement confirms longer radiative recombination lifetime, proving beneficial effect of p‐F‐PEA cation. As a result, the fabricated p‐F‐PEA‐based PeLEDs achieved the highest EQE of 15.2%, which is higher than those of PEA‐ (8.8%), o‐F‐PEA‐ (4.3%), and m‐F‐PEA‐based (10.3%) PeLEDs.
