Solvent-Driven Surface-State Reconstruction of ZnMgO for Stable Blue QLEDs
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. 2026. Vol. 18. No. 36. P. 49359–49369.
Blue QLEDs face a critical challenge in balancing high luminous efficiency with operational stability, primarily due to uncontrolled electron injection and interfacial trap-assisted recombination. Here, we present a facile aqueous ZnCl2 post-treatment strategy to engineer ZnMgO (ZMO) electron transport layers (ETLs). This approach leverages a synergistic mechanism of hydrolysis-induced recrystallization and chloride-mediated surface passivation to transform defective nanocrystal films into high-quality transport layers. The treated ETLs exhibit a reconstructed crystalline morphology with reduced grain boundary density and passivated oxygen vacancies. Consequently, without any pre-aging treatment, the optimized blue QLEDs exhibited a threefold increase in both external quantum efficiency (EQE, 5.47%) and operational lifetime (T50, 5.2 × 103 h), along with a twofold enhancement in luminance (2.4x104 cd/m2), compared to the control devices. This work demonstrates a facile method to manipulate the surface and bulk properties of metal oxide ETLs, effectively mitigating efficiency roll-off and providing a strategy for commercial high-brightness display technologies.

Benzenoid hydrocarbons are structurally regular aromatic compounds, which makes them well suited for quantitative structure–property relationship (QSPR) studies. This study presents a QSPR analysis of nineteen benzenoid hydrocarbon species using degree-based topological co-indices. We developed a Python program to compute eleven degree-based topological co-indices from molecular graphs and evaluated their ability to explain variations in ...

Wide-bandgap (WBG) perovskites used in monolithic tandem solar cells are limited by nonradiative recombination losses and operational instability originating from defect formation during crystallization and their subsequent evolution under illumination. Here, we show that defect formation can be regulated at the precursor stage by coordination chemistry, instead of relying only on post-crystallization passivation. A fluorinated ...

Heterostructures based on ZnO nanorods and CsPbBr3 nanocrystals were investigated for their potential as semiconductor SERS substrates. We found that ZnO morphology governs the efficiency of interfacial energy transfer, leading to enhanced photoluminescence under 390 nm excitation and a noticeable reduction of the bandgap in the composites. Raman analysis revealed a pronounced intensity enhancement and ...

Interfacial defects remain a key limitation of the performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Using first-principles density functional theory (DFT) and SCAPS-1D device simulations, we examine how sulfonate and primary amine salts can jointly passivate the SnO2/perovskite buried interface. The sulfonate group forms strong S–O–Sn bonds with surface Sn atoms, while the ammonium cation anchors ...
