Abstract

The outstanding emission of halide perovskites make them ideal candidates for white emission light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for lighting applications. However, many perovskites contain toxic or scarce elements and have unsatisfactory stability. Here, we report a target-driven approach, based on active learning (AL) techniques, to discover halide perovskites suitable for commercial LED applications. Based on the similarity between halide and oxide perovskites, a model trained on an oxide perovskite dataset plus six AL-selected halide perovskites exhibited excellent performance for photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) predictions of oxide and halide perovskites. The model proposed a strong relationship between ionic radii and PLQY, postulated to be due to the self-trap excitons derived from the Jahn-Teller deformation. A novel halide perovskite phosphor, Cs4Zn(Bi0.85Sb0.15)2Cl12:0.01Mn, was designed and synthesized with the aid of the model. It exhibited an 88 % PLQY and outstanding thermal and luminescent stability. A simple white LED was fabricated from this material, exemplifying its commercial potential. This study demonstrates how machine learning techniques can accelerate discovery of next-generation phosphors for high performance single emitter-based white-light emitting devices.
