The effects of the molybdenum trioxide (MoO 3 ) intermediate layer on the performance of all‐inorganic colloidal quantum dot light‐emitting diodes (QD‐LEDs) with a structure of ITO/MoO 3 /NiO/QDs/ZnO/Al are explored. MoO 3 layers with different thickness were inserted between the indium tin oxide and nickel oxide layer via a thermal evaporation process. The presented results show that an ultrathin (∼ 5 nm) MoO 3 intermediate layer significantly enhanced the electroluminescence (EL) intensity of the QD‐LED, which was more than 100 times higher than the device without the MoO 3 layer. It is suggested that the EL enhancement originates from the effectively facilitated injection of holes into quantum dots through the MoO 3 intermediate layer.
