Multivalent effect enables efficient and stable deep-blue perovskite LEDs

Published on: Date not available

Nature Nanotechnology, Published online: 05 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41565-025-01855-x

A distinctive multivalent-effect immobilization strategy fundamentally stabilizes the structure of deep-blue reduced-dimensional perovskite emitters and enhances excitonic radiative recombination. Using this effect, the efficiency and stability bottlenecks of deep-blue perovskite LEDs are overcome.
