The heterostructures of these nanocrystals can achieve high photoluminescence quantum yield and enhanced photostability, along with color purity. Such advantages make them a promising candidate for solution-processable light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, to date, blue-emitting CdSe nanoplatelets (NPLs) exhibit poor photoluminescence quantum yield and also typically suffer from a rolled-up morphology. To mitigate these problems in this work, we propose and demonstrate efficient alloyed 4 ML CdSe1–xSx nanoplatelets having a CdS crown with enhanced photoluminescence quantum yields (up to 60%) in the blue region (462–487 nm). We successfully used these NPLs as an electrically driven active emitter in the blue-emitting NPL-LEDs with a low turn-on voltage of ∼4 V. The Commission Internationale de L’Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.23, 0.14) were obtained for these blue-emitting NPL-LEDs. These emitters could potentially open up the opportunity for full-color displays using these NPL-based blue LEDs in conjunction with the red and green ones.EnglishColloidal nanoplateletsAlloyingHeterostructuresElectroluminescenceLight-emitting diodesBlue emissionArticle10.1021/acsanm.1c039392574-0970
