通过聚(3,4-乙烯二氧噻吩)-聚苯乙烯磺酸改性实现高性能蓝色钙钛矿发光二极管

金属卤化物钙钛矿材料因其独特的光电特性,在光电器件领域引起了相当大的关注和研究.特别是近年来,绿色和红色钙钛矿发光二极管(PeLEDs)研究取得了显著进展.然而,蓝色PeLEDs的发展落后于绿光和红光PeLEDs,效率也要低得多.其中一个主要原因是空穴传输层与蓝色钙钛矿材料的能级不匹配.在这项研究中,通过使用聚(4-苯乙烯磺酸钠)(PSS-Na)和溴化钾(KBr)改性空穴传输层材料聚(3,4-乙烯二氧噻吩)-聚苯乙烯磺酸(PEDOT:PSS),抑制PEDOT:PSS与钙钛矿材料界面之间的非辐射复合.并通过降低膜的粗糙度来提高钙钛矿膜的质量.结果表明,PSS-Na和KBr有效地提高了空穴传输能力,从而提高了PeLEDs器件的整体性能.通过PSS-Na改性PEDOT:PSS制备的蓝色PeLEDs具有低启亮电压(仅为3.3V)和高外量子效率(EQE)(达到4.12%).随着PEDOT:PSS中进一步加入KBr,蓝色PeLEDs最大EQE达到6.25%,启亮电压降至3 V.此外,与其他蓝光钙钛矿器件相比,该器件在不同电压下也表现出了良好的光谱稳定性.说明通过改性空穴传输层,可以提高钙钛矿发光器...

采用水热法在F-SnO₂(FTO)导电玻璃上制备了一维TiO₂纳米棒阵列, 将一种两亲有机三苯胺染料M分子吸附在其表面, 进而旋涂有机聚合物聚3-己基噻吩P3HT, 构建结构为FTO/TiO₂/M/P3HT/PEDOT:PSS/Au的杂化太阳电池. 瞬态光电流谱反映在杂化电极中存在pn异质结. 接触角测试表明TiO₂表面吸附有机M分子后, 亲水性表面转变为疏水性表面, 利于与聚合物P3HT的进一步接触; 稳态荧光发射光谱表明经修饰的杂化电极的荧光发射强度降低, 由荧光衰减曲线拟合得到的荧光寿命降低, 说明在TiO₂与P3HT之间存在有效的电荷转移, 电荷复合被抑制. 电化学阻抗分析表明界面修饰后电子复合电阻和电子寿命增大. 电池的特性参数均比界面修饰前有所提高, 光电转换效率为1.61%. 另外, 对该电池的工作机理、电荷传输过程进行了初步探讨.     

导电聚合物有序超薄膜的合成及其作为有机电致发光器件空穴注入层

采用修饰多层LB膜的方法制备了导电聚合物聚-3,4-乙烯二氧噻吩/二十烷酸(PEDOT:AA)复合层状有序膜, 构筑了一种导电聚合物镶嵌的多层有序膜结构. 将这种导电聚合物有序薄膜沉积于ITO电极表面, 将其作为有机电致发光二极管(OLED)的空穴注入层, 并研究了ITO/(PEDOT:AA)/MEH-PPV/Al器件的性能. 研究结果表明, 与采用聚3,4-乙烯二氧噻吩/聚苯乙烯磺酸(PEDOT:PSS)自组装膜和旋涂膜作为空穴注入层的ITO/(PEDOT:PSS)/MEH-PPV/Al器件相比, 器件的发光效率增加, 起亮电压降低. 我们认为这是由于PEDOT:AA薄膜提供了一种有序层状结构后, 减小了ITO与MEH-PPV间的接触势垒, 改善了空穴载流子注入效率. 进一步的研究表明, 由于PEDOT:AA多层膜间靠较弱的亲水、疏水作用结合, 这种导电多层有序膜的热稳定性与普通LB膜相似, 在较高温度下发生从层状有序态到无序态的变化, 这是导致OLED器件性能发生劣化的主要原因.

Bis(4-methylthio)phenyl)amine-based hole transport materials for highly-efficient perovskite solar cells: insight into the carrier ultrafast dynamics and interfacial transport

Hole transport layers(HTLs) play a significant role in the performance of perovskite solar cells. A new class of linear smallmolecules based on bis(4-methylthio)phenyl)amine as an end group, carbon, oxygen and sulfur as the center atoms for the center unit(denoted as MT-based small-molecule), respectively, have been applied as HTL, and two of them presented the efficiency over 20% in the planar inverted perovskite solar cells(PSCs), which demonstrated a significant improvement in comparison with the widely used HTL, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate)(known as PEDOT:PSS), in the planar inverted architecture. The ultrafast carrier dynamics show that the excited hot carrier cooling process of MT-based small-molecule HTL samples is faster than that of PEDOT:PSS samples. The kinetic analysis of photo-bleaching peaks of femtosecond transient absorption spectra reveals that the traps at the interface between MT-based small-molecule HTLs and MAPbI_3 can be filled much quicker than that at PEDOT/MAPbI_3 interfaces. Moreover, the hole injection time from MAPbI_3 to MT-based small-molecule HTLs is around 10 times quicker than that to PEDOT:PSS. Such quick trap filling and hole extraction bring a significant enhancement in photovoltaic performances. These findings uncover the carrier transport mechanisms and illuminate a promising approach for the design of new HTLs for highly-efficient perovskite solar cells.     

Improving Efficiency of Organic Photovoltaic Cells Using PEDOT:PSS and MWCNT Nanocomposites as a Hole Conducting Layer

In this study, polymeric nanocomposites of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were spin coated on a pre-patterned ITO glass and used as a hole conducting layer in organic photovoltaic cells. The multi-layered ITO/MWCNT-PEDOT:PSS/CuPc/C60/Al devices were fabricated to investigate the current density-voltage characteristics and power conversion efficiency. The power conversion efficiency obtained from the device with a concentration of 1.0 wt% MWCNT in the PEDOT:PSS layer was increased twice as those adopted from device without MWCNT doping in the PEDOT:PSS layer and current density-voltage characteristics was also improved well with incorporation of MWCNTs.     

Hole injection/transport materials derived from Heck and sol-gel chemistry for application in solution-processed organic electronic devices

An organosilicate polymer, based on N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(4-((E)-2-(triethoxysilyl)vinyl)phenyl)biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TEVS-TPD) with extended conjugation between the Si atom and the aromatic amine, was prepared under mild conditions via sequential Heck and sol-gel chemistry and used as an alternative to poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), the most widely used planarizing hole injection/transport layer in solution-processed organic electronic devices. Spin-coating TEVS-TPD polymer solutions yield defect-free, uniform, thin films with excellent adhesion to the ITO electrode. Upon thermal cross-linking at 180 °C, the cross-linked polymer exhibits excellent solvent resistance and electrochemical stability. Solution-processed organic light emitting diode (OLED) devices using iridium-based triplet emitting layers and cross-linked TEVS-TPD films as a hole injection/transport layer show significantly improved performance including lower leakage current, lower turn-on voltage, higher luminance, and stability at high current density, as compared to the control device prepared with PEDOT:PSS.     

Oxoammonium enabled secondary doping of hole transporting material PEDOT:PSS for high-performance organic solar cells

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate(PEDOT:PSS) is one of the most widely used hole transporting materials in organic solar cells(OSCs). Multiple strategies have been adopted to improve the conductivity of PEDOT:PSS, however,effective strategy that can optimize the conductivity, work function, and surface energy simultaneously to reach a better energy alignment and interface contact is rare. Here, we demonstrate that oxoammonium salts(TEMPO~+X~-) with different counterions can act as facile and novel dopants to realize secondary doping of PEDOT:PSS. The effective charge transfer process achieved between TEMPO~+X~- and PEDOT:PSS results in enhanced carrier density and improved conductivity of PEDOT:PSS. Moreover,different counterions of TEMPO~+X~- can tune the work function and surface energy of PEDOT:PSS, enabling improved device performances. The resulting device with PM6:Y6 as the active layer shows a high power conversion efficiency(PCE) over 16%.Moreover, this doping strategy can also be applied to other conjugated polymers such as poly(3-hexylthiophene). This work provides a promising strategy to tune the properties of conjugated polymers through doping, thus effectively boosting the performance of organic solar cells.     

Lithium Polystyrene Sulfonate as a Hole Transport Material in Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells

Despite the exceptional efficiency of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), further improvements can be made to bring their power conversion efficiencies (PCE) closer to the Shockley-Queisser limit, while the development of cost-effective strategies to produce high-performance devices are needed for them to reach their potential as a widespread energy source. In this context, there is a need to improve existing charge transport layers (CTLs) or introduce new CTLs. In this contribution, we introduced a new polyelectrolyte (lithium poly(styrene sulfonate (PSS))) (Li:PSS) polyelectrolyte as an HTL in inverted PSCs, where Li⁺ can act as a counter ion for the PSS backbone. The negative charge on the PSS backbone can stabilize the presence of p-type carriers and p-doping at the anode. Simple Li:PSS performed poorly due to poor surface coverage and voids existence in perovskite film as well as low conductivity. PEDOT:PSS was added to increase the conductivity to the simple Li:PSS solution before its use which also resulted in lower performance. Furthermore, a bilayer of PEDOT:PSS and Li:PSS was employed, which outperformed simple PEDOT:PSS due to high quality of perovskite film with large grain size also the large electron injection barrier (ϕ_e) impeded back diffusion of electrons towards anode. As a consequence, devices employing PEDOT:PSS / Li:PSS bilayers gave the highest PCE of 18.64%.
