The highly-efficient light-emitting diodes based on transition metal dichalcogenides: from architecture to performance
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) with layered architecture and excellent optoelectronic properties have been a hot spot for light-emitting diodes (LED). However, the light-emitting efficiency of TMDC LEDs is still low due to the large size limit of TMDC flakes and the inefficient device arch...

description | Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) with layered architecture and excellent optoelectronic properties have been a hot spot for light-emitting diodes (LED). However, the light-emitting efficiency of TMDC LEDs is still low due to the large size limit of TMDC flakes and the inefficient device architecture. First and foremost, to develop the highly-efficient and reliable few-layer TMDC LEDs, the modulation of the electronic properties of TMDCs and TMDC heterostructures is necessary. In order to create efficient TMDC LEDs with prominent performance, an in-depth understanding of the working mechanism is needed. Besides conventional structures, the electric (or ionic liquid)-induced p–n junction of TMDCs is a useful configuration for multifunctional LED applications. The significant performances are contrasted in the four aspects of color, polarity, and external quantum efficiency. The color of light ranging from infrared to visible light can be acquired from TMDC LEDs by purposeful and selective architecture construction. To date, the maximum of the external quantum efficiency achieved by TMDC LEDs is 12%. In the demand for performance, the material and configuration of the nano device can be chosen according to this review. Moreover, novel electroluminescence devices involving single-photon emitters and alternative pulsed light emitters can expand their application scope. In this review, we provide an overview of the significant investigations that have provided a wealth of detailed information on TMDC electroluminescence devices at the molecular level. |
