Abstract
Thin film optoelectronic devices have experienced tremendous development over the last decades. The charge
transport layers, i.e., hole transport layer (HTL) and electron transport layer, play critical roles in determining
the device performance. We have demonstrated a new type of hole transport layer based on organometal halide
perovskite CH3NH3PbCl3 for efficient OLEDs. The solvent passivation approach allowed for the formation of
smooth neat perovskite thin films with great surface coverage. Solution processed multilayer green
phosphorescent OLEDs based on this new perovskite HTL showed superior performance over the device using
conventional PEDOT:PSS HTL, with lower turn on and operating voltages, as well as higher luminescence,
EQE, power efficiency and luminous efficiency. The improved device performance is primarily attributed to the
wide band gap of CH3NH3PbCl3 , suitable energy levels, and efficient hole injection and transport from ITO to
CH3NH3PbCl 3 and light emitting layer. Our work demonstrates a new pathway toward highly efficient solution
processed multilayer OLEDs, and further establishes organic–inorganic halide perovskites as a new class of
semiconductors with highly desirable characteristics for thin film optoelectronic devices.
