Abstract: Abstract Artificial lighting consumes almost one-fifth of global electricity. As an efficient solid-state lighting technology, white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) have received increasing attention. However, the white luminescence of the traditional WLEDs comes from multi-component emitters, which leads to complex device structure and unstable emitting color. Therefore, developing single-component materials with white-light electroluminescence is of significance for artificial lighting applications. Here, we fabricate single-component white-light electroluminescence devices based on an aromatic carbon nitride material and improve the performance of WLEDs by adjusting the carrier transport. The carbon nitride LEDs emit warm-white light, of which color coordinates and color temperature are (0.44, 0.52) and 3700 K. The optimized LEDs display a very low turn-on voltage of 3.2 V and achieve a milestone in the maximum luminance and external quantum efficiency of 1885 cd m−2 and 1.20%. Our findings demonstrate the low-cost carbon nitride materials have promising potential for single-component WLEDs application.
