Here, we developed a highly efficient quasi-2D perovskite based sky-blue LEDs behaving recorded external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 21.07% by employing carbon dots (CDs) as additives in the hole transport layer (HTL). We ascribe the high EQE to the effective engineering of CDs: (1) The CDs at the interface of HTLs can suppress the formation of low-efficient n = 1 phase, resulting a high luminescence quantum yield and energy transfer efficiency of the mixed n-phase quasi-2D perovskites. (2) The CDs additives can reduce the conductivity of HTL, partially blocking the hole injection, and thus making more balanced hole-electron injection. The CDs-treated devices have excellent Spectral stability and enhanced operational stability and could be a new alternative additive in the perovskite optoelectronic devices.
