However, the device performance of SnO<sub>2</sub>-based QLEDs is still significantly lower to those of ZnO-based devices, suggesting considerable room for improvement. Here, we demonstrate the use of Ga-doped SnO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles with tunable mobility and conductivity for constructing high-performance SnO<sub>2</sub>-based QLEDs. The influences of Ga-doping concentration on the mobility and conductivity of SnO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles are systematically investigated. The mobility and conductivity of Ga-doped SnO<sub>2</sub> nanocrystals can be tuned over two orders of magnitude by varying Ga-doping level. This p-type doping strategy effectively suppresses excessive electron transport in the SnO<sub>2</sub> nanocrystals, thereby promoting more balanced charge injection within the QLED structure. As a result, red-emitting inverted QLEDs incorporating 3.5 at% Ga-doped SnO<sub>2</sub> nanocrystals achieve an average external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 17.36% and a peak EQE of 20.04%.

However, it remains challenging to achieve efficient deep-blue HLCT emitters, since strong charge transfer (CT) character leads to red shifted emission. Herein we demonstrated that the intensity of CT state can be modulated through strategic incorporation of phenyl rings to regulate the spatial separation between building blocks. Detailed investigations revealed that the new emitter CPChN, which exhibits a moderately enhanced charge transfer contribution, undergoes an efficient high-lying reverse intersystem crossing process.

Here, we present a photonic neural network (PNN) based on programmable phase-change metasurfaces, which realizes an on-chip reconfigurable parallel computing architecture through the monolithic integration of non-volatile programmable power beam-splitters, higher-order mode couplers, and multimode cross-waveguides.
