Core-Shell Three-Dimensional Perovskite Nanocrystals with Chiral-Induced Spin Selectivity for Room-Temperature Spin Light-Emitting Diodes

We developed type-II core-shell nanocrystals (NCs) with a chiral low-dimensional perovskite shell and an achiral 3D MAPbBr(3) core. The core-shell NCs exhibit spin-polarized luminescence at the first excitation band of the achiral core, which is due to the chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect-governed spin-dependent shell-to-core electron transportation and the subsequent electron-hole recombination in the core. The preferred spin state of the transferred electrons is determined by the handness of the chiral shell. For the core-shell NCs film, a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 54% and a circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) with a maximum |g(lum)| of 4.0 x 10(-3) are obtained at room temperature. Finally, we achieved a spin-polarized light-emitting diode (spin-LED), affording a circularly polarized electroluminescence (CP-EL) with a |g(CP-EL)| of 6.0 x 10(-3) under ambient conditions.
