AbstractMetal halide perovskite semiconductors have demonstrated remarkable potentials in solution‐processed blue light‐emitting diodes (LEDs). However, the unsatisfied efficiency and spectral stability responsible for trap‐mediated non‐radiative losses and halide phase segregation remain the primary unsolved challenges for blue perovskite LEDs. In this study, it is reported that a fluorene‐based π‐conjugated cationic polymer can be blended with the perovskite semiconductor to control film formation and optoelectronic properties. As a result, sky‐blue and true‐blue perovskite LEDs with Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage coordinates of (0.08, 0.22) and (0.12, 0.13) at the record external quantum efficiencies of 11.2% and 8.0% were achieved. In addition, the mixed halide perovskites with the conjugated cationic polymer exhibit excellent spectral stability under external bias. This result illustrates that π‐conjugated cationic polymers have a great potential to realize efficient blue mixed‐halide perovskite LEDs with stable electroluminescence.
