Carbon Nanotube Electrodes for Semitransparent Perovskite Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Multiwall carbon nanotubes can be used for development of semitransparent light-emitting electrochemical cells. Due to its chemical inertness, they can withstand highly corrosive materials like halide perovskites, which are the most promising material for fabrication of next generation optoelectronic devices. Here we investigate how perovskite-based light-emitting electrochemical cell can be fabricated only with carbon nanotubes as anode and cathode. We show that for the fabrication drop-casting technique should be used instead of conventional spin-coating method. High roughness of the multiwall carbon nanotubes can be overcome with drop casting method of material deposition that allows fabrication of thick films. Light-emitting electrochemical cells demonstrate relatively low maximum luminance of 50 cd/m2 and we demonstrate the issue behind it.
