Processes for improving efficiency of light emitting diodes

A method for constructing a light emitting diode, the method comprising:

• obtaining one or more components of an LED after said one or more components have completed their respective fabrication process;
• exposing said one or more components of an LED to an amount of hydrogen, wherein said exposing occurs for a period of component exposure time;
• assembling said one or more exposed components to form a partially assembled LED after said period of component exposure time is completed;
• and
• exposing said partially assembled LED to an amount of hydrogen;
• wherein said one or more components of the LED is selected from the group consisting of a glass cover, quantum dots, nanoparticles, a quantum dot layer, a nanoparticle layer, a cathode, an electron transport layer, an emission layer, a hole transport layer, a hole injection layer, an anode, a substrate, one or more an intermediate layers, one or more metal layers, or combinations thereof.
