The manufacture of blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) has always been a tough problem to solve in the display and illumination fields. Inorganic/organic semiconductors and carbon dots (CDs) with a wide band gap still face obstacles such as a low external quantum efficiency (EQE) and poor stability. Herein, we synthesized highly stable and blue emission CDs with a chemically inert surface, and the photoluminescence (PL) peak (in ultra-pure water) of which is located at 446 nm with an absolute PL quantum yield (PLQY) of 26.4%. The LEDs based blue emission CDs exhibit an electroluminescence (EL) peak located at 456 nm and a high brightness of 223 cd m with an EQE of 0.856%. The Commission Internationale del'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates are located at (0.21, 0.23) and the device lifetime with 65% brightness ( ) reaches over 217 h because of the chemically inert surface of the CDs. The results mean the devices are the most stable CDs-LEDs reported to date. This work represents a novel route for the preparation of low cost, highly stable and very bright CDs-LEDs with a short wavelength emission.
蓝光发光二极管(LED)的制造一直是显示和照明领域中一个难以解决的问题。具有宽带隙的无机/有机半导体和碳点(CD)仍然面临诸如外部量子效率(EQE)低和稳定性差等障碍。在此,我们合成了具有化学惰性表面的高稳定性蓝色发光CD,其光致发光(PL)峰(在超纯水中)位于446 nm处,绝对PL量子产率(PLQY)为26.4%。基于CD的蓝色发光LED表现出位于456 nm处的电致发光(EL)峰和223 cd m的高亮度,EQE为0.856%。国际照明委员会(CIE)坐标位于(0.21, 0.23),由于CD的化学惰性表面,亮度为65%时器件寿命超过217小时。结果表明这些器件是迄今为止报道的最稳定的CD-LED。这项工作为制备低成本、高稳定性且具有短波长发射的非常明亮的CD-LED提供了一条新途径。
