Thermal Quenching Resistance in Dielectrically Confined Quantum Perovskites via Dual Passivation for Temperature‐Resistant White Light Emitting Diodes
Thermally induced photoluminescence quenching remains at present a significant limitation in the commercialization of perovskite-based light-emitting diodes (PLEDs). Here, a dual-passivation strategy is reported that combines dielectric confinement and dynamic chemical defect mitigation to produce thermally robust, photoluminescent MAPbX<sub>3</sub> (X = Br<sup>-</sup>, I<sup>-</sup>) nanocrystals embedded within a ferroelectric polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) matrix with significantly enhanced thermal resistance and photoluminescence performance. The synergistic interaction between excess methylammonium halide (MAX) and dipolar -CF<sub>2</sub> groups in electroactive PVDF effectively passivates shallow halide vacancies and undercoordinated Pb<sup>2</sup>⁺ centres, while preserving the crystallinity of the perovskite film. This co-crystallization-driven spatial confinement of MAPbX<sub>3</sub> (X = Br<sup>-</sup>, I<sup>-</sup>) domains yields near-unity photoluminescent quantum yield (PLQY), broad color tunability (420-736 nm), and significantly reduced non-radiative losses. Temperature-dependent photoluminescence measurements reveal minimal quenching up to 170 °C, with both bromide and iodide composites maintaining robust emission across a broad thermal window. Moreover, the optimized 4:1 MAX: PbX<sub>2</sub> ratio (4MABr<sub>1-x</sub>I<sub>x</sub>) shows a broad and balanced emission across the visible spectrum with chromaticity coordinates (0.29,0.31) & (0.32,0.35). The composite achieves a high color rendering index (CRI = 84) and a correlated color temperature (CCT) of 7861K. The results establish a facile and scalable route to thermally stable, color-tunable perovskite emitters, opening up pathways for next-generation PLEDs, flexible lighting, and anti-counterfeiting technologies.
