Herein, the successful growth of 2D nonlayered α-Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> nanoflakes is reported via a molecular sieve-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. These nanoflakes, with a minimum thickness of two unit cells, exhibit high crystallinity, n-type charge carrier transport properties, and response to 450 nm laser illumination.

Traditionally, spintronics relies on external magnetic fields and ferromagnetic contacts to achieve spin-polarized carriers. This makes it challenging to realize flexible spin devices due to the inherently bulky and rigid constituent materials. To overcome these drawbacks, a strategy is proposed for fabricating flexible spin light-emitting diodes by integrating self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of P3HT-COOH, chiral metal–organic framework (Chiral-MOF), quantum dots (QDs), and polyethylene terephthalate substrate. The chiral europium-based MOFs employed as a spin-injection layer via the chiral-induced spin selectivity mechanism can effectively polarize the emitting light. The SAM (P3HT-COOH) layer significantly enhances the device stability and light intensity compared to conventional PEDOT: PSS layer-based devices, while the QDs layer serves as the bright emitter. This device achieves an estimated external quantum efficiency (EQE) with a polarization degree (P<sub>CP-EL</sub>) of ± 21.86%. Furthermore, P<sub>CP-EL</sub> changes (21.86, 20.34, 19.34, 17.45, 17.18, 14.99, 13.54) with stable emission under various bending radii. This approach enables circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) and a tuneable degree of polarization simultaneously, which is free from external magnetic fields or ferromagnetic contacts.
