Abstract

In 2024, tandem perovskite light-emitting diodes (tandem-PLEDs) achieved a breakthrough external quantum efficiency of 43.42%, with an organic electroluminescence (EL) unit stacked atop a perovskite EL unit, surpassing the previous single-junction perovskite LEDs. This innovative design enables a higher brightness at lower currents, enhancing the longevity and efficiency of the tandem-PLEDs. Additionally, the tandem-PLEDs can also be fabricated by combining a perovskite EL unit with a perovskite quantum dot unit. In this perspective, the key advancements in tandem-PLEDs are highlighted, focusing on the development of perovskite-organic materials, perovskite-perovskite quantum dots, and the design principles for obtaining efficient and stable charge generation layers. But more importantly, the challenges and solutions are discussed in fabricating all-perovskite tandem LEDs using strongly polar solvents that have yet to be reported nowadays. This comprehensive guide aims to support researchers in advancing the practical deployment of tandem-PLED technology.
