Crystallization regulation of solution-processed metal halide perovskite light-emitting diodes

Perovskite Light-Emitting Diodes (PeLEDs) hold significant promise for future applications in displays due to their exceptional optoelectronic properties. However, the complexity of the crystallization process during the preparation of metal halide perovskite often leads to morphological inhomogeneity, defect-mediated non-radiative recombination losses, and subsequent performance degradation in devices. A profound understanding of perovskite nucleation and crystallization dynamics is crucial for fabricating high-performance PeLEDs. Based on this premise, this review systematically summarizes advanced strategies for regulating perovskite crystallization kinetics, which are grouped into two approaches: regulating nucleation sites to achieve dense and uniform perovskite films, and delaying crystal growth to enlarge grain size and suppress defect-mediated non-radiative recombination losses. In addition, this review examines the current challenges facing future full-color displays and large-scale production in PeLEDs. Finally, we outline promising future research directions, including the development of machine learning, and scalable fabrication techniques such as blade coating and inkjet printing, to bridge the gap between laboratory research and commercial applications. This review aims to provide comprehensive theoretical and practical insights into perovskite crystallization optimization, thereby accelerating the commercialization of PeLED technology.
