掺杂不同一维纳米材料的空穴缓冲层对有机电致发光器件性能的影响

对一维纳米材料在空穴缓冲层PEDOT中的作用进行了研究。光致发光表明在PEDOT中掺杂一维纳米材料(二氧化钛纳米管和氧化锌纳米棒)可以提高双层样品PEDOT/MEH-PPV的发光效率。拉曼光谱的结果说明正是由于一维纳米材料与PEDOT之间存在的强相互作用,才减少了PEDOT/MEH-PPV界面上猝灭发光的缺陷态的产生。在以MEH-PPV作为发光层的聚合物电致发光器件中,在PEDOT中掺杂二氧化钛纳米管和氧化锌纳米棒后,器件的最大效率分别提高了2倍和2.5倍。     

利用电子传输层掺杂改善有机发光器件的效率

利用BCP掺杂到电子传输层Alq中,在掺杂层中阻挡了空穴的迁移,调整了空穴和电子的平衡,将激子有效地限制在发光层中发光,从而增加有机电致发光器件的效率.器件的最大电流效率在外加电压9 V时达到4.1 cd/A(掺杂浓度8%时),与一般未掺杂器件相比效率提高了2倍多.同时也减少空穴到达阴极,而减少发光淬灭.     

采用瞬态EL和延迟EL测试方法研究磷光掺杂体系的内部发光过程

有机磷光发光二极管(OLED)因为理论内量子效率能达到100%而成为研究热点,但是至今有机磷光OLED器件发光机理及过程仍然不完全清楚,需进一步研究. 本文中搭建了一套瞬态电致发光和延迟电致发光的测量系统,并首次综合运用瞬态电致发光和延迟电致发光测量来探测有机磷光OLED 器件发光层内部电荷载流子的运动,从而分析研究其内部发光过程及机理. 研究中首先制备了一种高效红色磷光材料(pbt)₂Ir(acac)衍生物(Irf)掺杂荧光材料作为发光层的器件,对其进行了瞬态EL测量,发现当驱动脉冲信号撤销时瞬态发光强度会突然出现一个瞬时过冲现象(transient overshoot),通过实验分析证实这个发光的瞬时过冲是由于发光层内部电子和空穴累积造成的,还证实了在发光层与空穴传输层界面存在空穴的累积. 通过延迟电致发光的研究发现在这种掺杂体系中发光主要来自于客体材料Irf的直接俘获电子空穴复合发光,而不是来自于主客体之间的能量传递,器件中的空穴传输发生在客体材料Irf上,而电子传递则主要在主体材料TAZ上. 同时还发现空穴注入是整个掺杂体系中重要的影响因素. 关键词： 瞬态EL 延迟电致发光 三线态-三线态湮没 overshoot     

以BBOT为电子传输层的聚合物蓝色发光二极管

在前篇文章中[1]我们报导了以perylene掺杂的PVCz聚合物单层电致发光器件,得到蓝色发光,其亮度为59(cd/m2).在这篇文章中,我们以PVCz作为空穴传导层,BBOT为电子传导层制成了双层结构的发光二极管.亮度和效率都大大超过单层器件.     

利用有机层间互相掺杂提高有机电致发光器件的效率

提高器件的发光效率是实现有机电致发光器件实用化的一个关键因素。通过对器件结构和制作工艺的优化设计，将有机电致发光器件的各个功能层进行互相掺杂，在层间形成互掺过渡层达到平衡载流子的注入，使得注入的电子和空穴有效地限制在互掺的有源区内，增加了载流子相遇复合的几率，进而提高器件的发光效率。器件的最大电流效率在外加电压10．5V时达到7．9cd／A，最大发光亮度在35V时达到49000cd／m^2。和一般掺杂器件相比效率提高2倍以上。同时有机层间的互相掺杂也在一定程度上消除了层问的界面，减少了有机层问的缺陷，与没有过渡层的器件相比，器件老化性能有了明显改善。     

PBD在稀土配合物与PVK混合体系电致发光中的作用

研究了PBD以较低浓度与铽配合物[Tb(m-MBA)₃phen]₂·2H₂O、PVK共掺杂体系的电致发光,制作了两类电致发光器件：ITO/PVK:Tb complex/PBD/LiF/Al,ITO/PVK：Tb complex:PBD/PBD/LiF/Al。在共掺杂的发光层中铽配合物的电致发光来源于两个途径,一个是由PVK到铽配合物的能量传递,另一个是电子和空穴在铽配合物上直接复合发光。改变PBD在发光层中的掺杂比例,制得一系列器件,通过对其光谱和亮度的研究,发现PBD在较低浓度掺杂时器件的稳定性和亮度随掺杂浓度的增加而降低。通过分析认为PBD的加入对给体(PVK)到受体(Tb complex)的能量传递效率影响较小,主要是由于PBD的加入使得电子和空穴在PVK链间的跳跃受到限制,使在由PVK、铽配合物和PBD三者掺杂组成的发光层中,注入的电子和空穴不能有效地在铽配合物上复合,这样就会减少激子在铽配合物上直接复合的概率,而造成器件的亮度和效率降低。     

利用磷光敏化改善聚合物白光OLED性能

基于新型聚合物白光材料PF-DTFO制备了一种聚合物白光发光二极管(PWOLED),通过在聚合物发光层中掺杂蓝光磷光染料FIrpic,利用磷光敏化发光原理,改善器件电致发光性能。在敏化PWOLED中,掺杂的FIrpic染料作为给体将产生的三重态能量传递给白光聚合物的长波发射基团,进一步提高了长波基团的发光强度,改善了白光光谱,使基色更平衡并且光谱更稳定。驱动电压从8 V增加到16 V时,器件电致发光光谱基本不变,色坐标仅从(0.33,0.38)移动至(0.32,0.38)。敏化后的器件发光效率相对于未掺杂器件提高了38%。     

有机/有机界面污染对有机电致发光器件稳定性的影响(英文)

有机电致发光器件的稳定性是其实用化面临的主要难题之一。为了研究有机/有机界面性质对有机电致发光器件稳定性的影响,采用溶液旋涂的NPB(NPBSC)作为器件的空穴传输层制备了两种异质结电致发光器件:ITO/NPBSC/Alq3/LiF/Al和ITO/NPBSC/NPB/Alq3/LiF/Al,对比研究了器件的发光性能和工作稳定性。研究结果表明:完全使用NPBSC作为空穴传输层的器件性能和稳定性都较差,这归因于不稳定的NPBSC/Alq3界面,在空气中旋涂制备NPB层时,空气中的水蒸气和氧气分子会粘附在空穴传输层表面,这样就会引起界面处Alq3分子的发光猝灭。插入10 nm真空蒸镀的NPB层可以显著地提高器件的发光性能和稳定性,10 nm的NPB层把污染界面与激子复合区界面分开,避免了水蒸气和氧气分子对Alq3分子的发光猝灭,器件的效率增加了1.15 cd/A,半衰期寿命提高了4倍。     

沉积亚单层荧光染料提高有机发光器件的发光效率

结合掺杂薄层作为发光探针层的方法和亚单层（sub-monolayer）有机发光技术，利用沉积在有机发光器件发光层中的亚单层奎丫啶酮（Quinacridone，QAD）分子作为探针，同时改变QAD层的位置，对有机发光器件中激子的形成与扩散进行了研究，器件结构为ITO/NPB(60 nm)/ Alq3(x nm)/QAD(0.05 nm)/Alq3［(60－x) nm］/LiF/Al（其中x=0，2.5，5，7.5 nm）.通过对各器件不同条件下的电致发光谱、发光强度和发光效率的对比研究，得到在x＝5 nm处引入亚单层QAD可以使QAD分子通过能量转移而获得的激子数量最多，进而可以实现高效率的发光.     

发光层位置对白光有机发光二极管的影响

同一种主体材料MADN中混掺不同的掺杂剂,分别制备了两种白光有机发光二极管,测试并研究了它们的发光效率、寿命、发光亮度、电致发光光谱以及色平衡度。结果表明,两种白光器件的性能受发光层的顺序和厚度的影响显著。发光层顺序由阳极到阴极方向为橙/蓝的器件的稳定性要优于发光层顺序为蓝/橙的器件,这是由于橙光发光层中的rubrene对空穴的陷进作用可捕获穿越橙光发光层中的空穴,从而有效地调控了器件内部的电子、空穴浓度的平衡。通过对器件的优化,制得了色坐标为(0.3201,0.3459)的接近标准白光的有机电致发光器件。     

N掺杂TiO_2纳米管阵列的制备与性质研究

本文采用阳极氧化法制备了孔径为60-80nm,孔壁厚约为20-30nm的高有序度TiO2纳米管。将制备的TiO2纳米管经表面酸化后在浓氨水中浸泡,并于氮气气氛中进行退火处理,以实现TiO2纳米管的N掺杂。利用SEM、XRD、Raman和XPS对样品的形貌与结构进行了研究。结果显示,掺N后不会破坏阳极氧化形成的高有序纳度米管阵列,而且N的引入促进了TiO2纳米管在低温下由锐钛矿相向金红石相的转变。N掺杂样品的XPS中出现了结合能位于399.7 eV的峰,该峰来源于TiO2的间隙氮杂质,显示此方法在TiO2纳米管中实现了有效的N的掺杂。     

A simple approach for synthesis of TiO2 nanotubes with through‐hole morphology

The present work reports a simple approach for fabrication of self‐standing titania (TiO₂) nanotube membranes with through‐hole morphology. The method is hydrofluoric acid free and the pore opening of TiO₂ nanotubes is performed by electrochemical thinning of the oxide barrier layer. A reduction of anodization voltage was applied at the end of the anodization process to cause a successful removal of the remaining barrier layer from the TiO₂ nanotubes during their detachment from the underlying titanium substrate.

Significant improvement of OLED efficiency and stability by doping both HTL and ETL with different dopant in heterojunction of polymer/small-molecules

This paper reports that the polymer/organic heterojunction doped light-emitting diodes using a novel poly-TPD as hole transport material and doping both hole transport layer and emitter layer with the highly fluorescent rubrene and DCJTB has been successfully fabricated. The basic structure of the heterostructure is PTPD/Alq₃. When hole transport layer and electron transport layer are doped simultaneously with different dopant, the electroluminescence quantum efficiencies are about 3 times greater than that of the undoped device. Compared with undoped device and conventional TPD/Alq₃ diode, the stability of the doping device is significantly improved. The process of emission for doped device may include carrier trapping as well as F\"{o}rster energy transfer.     

Resonant Raman spectroscopy and spectroelectrochemistry characterization of carbon nanotubes/polyaniline thin film obtained through interfacial polymerization

Thin, transparent, and self‐assembled films of neat polyaniline and polyaniline/carbon nanotube nanocomposites were deposited over glass substrates by interfacial polymerization. The effect of the carbon nanotubes on the structure and conformation of the polyaniline, and the type of interaction between the polymer and the nanotubes, have been studied by resonant Raman spectroscopy and UV–Vis and Raman spectroelectrochemistry. The results indicate clearly that the carbon nanotubes induce important changes in the electronic structure of the polymer, resulting in a more polaronic organization. Additionally, an effective interaction between the polymer and the nanotube, based on a polyaniline‐to‐nanotube charge transfer, is proposed in this work.

Probing the Influence of Amino Acids on Photoluminescence from Carbon Nanotubes Suspended with DNA

The quantitative analysis of amino acid levels in the human organism is required for the early clinical diagnosis of a variety of diseases. In this work the influence of 13 amino acid doping on the photoluminescence (PL) from the semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) suspended with single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) in water has been studied. Amino acid doping leads to the PL enhancement and the strongest increase was found after cysteine doping of the nanotube suspension while addition of other amino acids yielded the significantly smaller effect. The emphasis of cysteine molecules is attributed to presence of the reactive thiol group that turns cysteine into reducing agent that passivates the p-defects on the nanotube sidewall and increases the PL intensity. The reasons of PL enhancement after doping with other amino acids are discussed. The response of nanotube PL to cysteine addition depends on the nanotube aqueous suspension preparation with tip or bath sonication treatment. The enhancement of the emission from different nanotube species after cysteine doping was analyzed too. It was shown that the increase of the carbon nanotube PL at addition of cysteine allows successful monitoring of the cysteine concentration in aqueous solution in the range of 50–1000 μM.     

Comparison of modification of electronic properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes filled with metal halogenide, chalcogenide, and pure metal

In present work, thulium chloride, gallium selenide, bismuth telluride, and silver were encapsulated into the channels of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The structural properties of obtained nanostructures were studied by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and the modification of electronic properties of nanotubes as result of filling their channels with chosen substances was investigated by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was shown that the electronic properties of filled SWCNTs depend on the chemical nature of incorporated materials. The encapsulation of TmCl₃ and GaSe into the carbon nanotube channels leads to acceptor doping of the SWCNTs, and this effect is more prominent for thulium chloride. The incorporation of bismuth telluride into the nanotube cavities does not result in any modification of their electronic properties. The filling of the nanotube channels with silver leads to donor doping of the single-walled carbon nanotubes.     

Structural model for the reinforcement of polymethyl methacrylate/carbon nanotube nanocomposites at an ultralow nanofiller content

The structural basis of the anomalously high reinforcement of polymer/carbon nanotube nanocomposites at an ultralow nanofiller content is studied. This effect is shown to be caused by the absence of interaction between carbon nanotubes and the related sharp increase in the interphase adhesion. From the standpoint of a nanofiller structure, the effect disappears when three critical points related to the structure of carbon nanotubes in a polymer matrix are reached. These points are a percolation threshold, an aggregative nanofiller stability threshold, and the beginning of formation of closed circular carbon nanotube structures.     

Mechanism for nanotube formation from self-bending nanofilms driven by atomic-scale surface-stress imbalance

We demonstrate, by theoretical analysis and molecular dynamics simulation, a mechanism for fabricating nanotubes by self-bending of nanofilms under intrinsic surface-stress imbalance due to surface reconstruction. A freestanding Si nanofilm may spontaneously bend itself into a nanotube without external stress load, and a bilayer SiGe nanofilm may bend into a nanotube with Ge as the inner layer, opposite of the normal bending configuration defined by misfit strain. Such rolled-up nanotubes can accommodate a high level of strain, even beyond the magnitude of lattice mismatch, greatly modifying the tube electronic and optoelectronic properties.     

Raman and SERS studies of carbon nanotube systems

In this paper, we report on Raman studies carried out on different carbon nanotube systems, namely single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes and polymer/nanotube composites. We focus on different types of interactions which can take place in these materials. In single-walled nanotubes, the introduction of van der Waals interactions between tubes when arranged in bundles leads to an upshift of the radial breathing mode (RBM) ranging from 11 to 16 cm⁻¹ depending on the size of the bundle. In multi-walled carbon nanotubes, similar interactions between concentric tubes permit to interpret the low frequency Raman modes. In composites, PMMA/nanotubes, an upshift of the RBM is also observed, explained by the dynamical strain applied by the polymer on the bundles, in response to the breathing vibration. In addition, surface enhanced Raman scattering experiments have demonstrated the occurrence of interfacial reactions between the nanotubes and the metallic support. This is put in evidence by the degradation of tubes, especially metallic ones, and reconstruction of C₆₀-like molecules are in some cases observed.
