Efficient Spin-Light-Emitting Diodes With Tunable Red to Near-Infrared Emission at Room Temperature

Spin light-emitting diodes (spin-LEDs) are important for spin-based electronic circuits as they convert the carrier spin information to optical polarization. Recently, chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) has emerged as a new paradigm to enable spin-LED as it does not require any magnetic components and operates at room temperature. However, CISS-enabled spin-LED with tunable wavelengths ranging from red to near-infrared (NIR) has yet to be demonstrated. Here, chiral quasi-2D perovskites are developed to fabricate efficient spin-LEDs with tunable wavelengths from red to NIR region by tuning the halide composition. The optimized chiral perovskite films exhibit efficient circularly polarized luminescence from 675 to 788 nm, with a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) exceeding 86% and a dissymmetry factor ( g lum ) ranging from 8.5 × 10 −3 to 2.6 × 10 −2 . More importantly, direct circularly polarized electroluminescence (CPEL) is achieved at room temperature in spin-LEDs. This work demonstrated efficient red and NIR spin-LEDs with the highest external quantum efficiency (EQE) reaching 12.4% and the electroluminescence (EL) dissymmetry factors ( g EL ) ranging from 3.7 × 10 −3 to 1.48 × 10 −2 at room temperature. The composition-dependent CPEL performance is further attributed to the prolonged spin lifetime as revealed by ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy.
