Recently, inorganic cesium–lead halide perovskites with high thermal stability have attracted much attention as promising light‐emitting material for research of perovskite‐based light‐emitting diodes (PeLEDs) toward high‐definition displays. However, the CsPbI 3 ‐based red PeLEDs still suffer low external quantum efficiency (EQE) and poor device stability due to the spontaneous phase transition from cubic CsPbI 3 (α‐CsPbI 3 ) to nonradiative orthorhombic phase (δ‐CsPbI 3 ) under ambient conditions. Here, a feasible approach is reported on phase engineering by incorporating the long‐chain cation (e.g., 2‐(naphthalene‐1‐yl)ethanamine (NEA)) in CsPbI 3 for stable and high‐performance CsPbI 3 ‐based red light‐emitting diodes (LEDs). A high EQE of 8.65% is successfully achieved for the characteristic red emission at ≈682 nm representing the highest value among Cs‐based red PeLEDs up to now. More importantly, the corresponding PeLEDs exhibit outstanding stability with EQE retaining 90% after 3 months of storage. These results verify the potential of using cesium‐based inorganic perovskite as viable alternatives to methylammonium (MA)‐ or formamidinium (FA)‐based perovskite for desirable practical applications.
