A collaborative research effort led by Rutgers University and involving the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory has resulted in a breakthrough in deep blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The team’s new approach utilizes a hybrid material composed of copper iodide and organic molecules, achieving emissions at around 450 nanometers while addressing common issues such as toxicity, stability, and cost associated with current technologies. This innovative method enhances efficiency by minimizing defects in the materials and forming stronger interfacial connections through dual interfacial hydrogen-bond passivation. The new LEDs exhibit a remarkable external quantum efficiency of 12.6% and maintain high brightness and longevity, positioning them as promising candidates for advancing the future of solid-state lighting and displays.
