Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have emerged as a highly promising technology for lighting, displays, and optoelectronic devices. The integration of nanomaterials into LEDs has significantly advanced the field, offering enhanced performance, improved efficiency, and new functionalities.

This Special Issue aims to cover various topics related to the application of nanomaterials in LEDs. We invite original research articles, short communications, and systematic reviews for this Special Issue. The scope includes, but is not limited to:

  • The synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials tailored for LED applications, such as quantum dots, nanowires, and perovskites;
  • The fabrication and optimization of LED devices via the incorporation of nanomaterials into device architectures.

By encompassing a broad spectrum of topics, this Special Issue aims to provide valuable insights into the advancements and challenges in the field of nanomaterial-integrated LEDs. We encourage researchers in the field to contribute pioneering work, contributing to our collective understanding and future development.

This study developed an advanced 850 nm centered distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) (broadband DBR) composed of nanomaterial-based multiple structures to improve the optical efficiency of an 850 nm near-infrared light-emitting diode (NIR-LED). A combined 850 nm centered broadband DBR was fabricated by growing an 800 nm centered ten-pair DBR on a 900 nm centered ten-pair DBR (denoted as a combined DBR). The combined DBR exhibited a slightly wider peak band than conventional DBRs. Furthermore, the peak band width of the combined DBR significantly increased upon using a reflective AlAs buffer layer that reduced the overlapped reflection. The output power (20.5 mW) of NIR-LED chips using the combined DBR with an AlAs buffer layer exceeded that of a conventional 850 nm centered DBR (14.5 mW) by more than 40%. Results indicated that combining the optical conditions of wavelengths and the AlAs buffer layer effectively strengthened the broadband effect of the DBR and increased the optical efficiency of the 850 nm NIR-LED.
