聚合物电致发光器件（Polymer Electroluminescent Device,PLED)已显示出广阔的应用前景^[1-6]。已往人们比较重视阴极材料的选择及相关金属与有机界面的研究^[7],而有关发光层或空穴传输层与阳极ITO膜之间的界面结构及化学问题则少见报道。事实上,ITO膜与有机层之间的作用对器件的可靠性及寿命具有更为严重的影响^[8,9]。由于异质界面的过渡层结构复杂,以纳米尺度上化学组成是非计量比的,因此对这种极薄的埋藏界面的研究方法还需进一步探索。本文通过模型试样制备和变角X射线光电子谱（ADXPS）技术,对PLED中共轭导电聚合物聚2,5－二（二甲基正丁基硅基）对苯乙烯撑（BBDMS－PPV）与阳极ITO膜所形成的界面结构进行了初步研究。

Molecular assembled self-doped polyaniline interlayer for application in polymer light-emitting diode

Self-doped polyaniline (SPANI) ultrathin films were prepared by using a self-assembly process consisting of a self-doping monomer (o-aminobenzenesulfonic acid, SAN) and aniline (AN). SAN-AN copolymerization and film formation were simultaneously performed in aqueous solution. An immersing self-assembly method was developed to build up a SPANI nanofilm on an ITO glass, providing a hole injection layer in a double-layer electroluminescence (EL) device ITO/SPANI nanofilm//MEH-PV//Ca/Al. This device produces an orange EL as compared with a single-layer EL device of ITO//MEH-PV//Ca/Al. A double-layer device demonstrates that a SPANI film is capable of transporting holes in a polymer light-emitting diode (PLED).

Novel Conjugated Side Chain Fluorinated Polymers Based on Fluorene for Light-Emitting and Ternary Flash Memory Devices

Three novel conjugated polymers based on 9,9′-dioctylfluorene unit and isoindolo[2,1-a]benzimidazol-11-one with different fluorine substituents (0, 2 and 4) were synthesized. PLED and resistive memory devices based on these polymers were prepared consequently. PLED based on four-fluorinated polymer showed the highest maximum brightness of 3192 cd m⁻² with almost 5-fold increase of current efficiency 8-fold increase of external quantum efficiency compared to that of the other two, and all the PLEDs exhibited good emission stability with no noticeable change of electroluminescence even under high voltage of 10 V. The memory device of doubly-fluorinated polymer exhibited ternary flash behavior with threshold voltages below −2.5 V, while device of four-fluorinated polymer possessed ON/OFF current ratio above 10⁴. Impact of fluorine substitutions on the performance of devices were briefly investigated. The results revealed that the improvement of device performance might not scale with the increasing number of fluorine substitutions, and the four-fluorine-substituted polymer and doubly-fluorinated polymer could be encouraging materials for applications of PLED and resistive memory device and worth of further design of other new polymer systems.     

Fluorene‐ and benzimidazole‐based blue light‐emitting copolymers: Synthesis,photophysical properties,and PLED applications

Blue light‐emitting materials are receiving considerable academic and industrial interest due to their potential applications in optoelectronic devices. In this study, blue light‐emitting copolymers based on 9,9′ ‐ dioctylfluorene and 2,2′‐(1,4‐phenylene)‐bis(benzimidazole) moieties were synthesized through palladium‐catalyzed Suzuki coupling reaction. While the copolymer consisting of unsubstituted benzimidazoles (PFBI0) is insoluble in common organic solvents, its counterpart with N‐octyl substituted benzimidazoles (PFBI8) enjoys good solubility in toluene, tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane (DCM), and chloroform. The PFBI8 copolymer shows good thermal stability, whose glass transition temperature and onset decomposition temperature are 103 and 428 °C, respectively. Its solutions emit blue light efficiently, with the quantum yield up to 99% in chloroform. The electroluminescence (EL) device of PFBI8 with the configuration of indium‐tin oxide/poly(ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonic acid)/PFBI8/1,3,5‐tris(1‐phenyl‐1H‐benzimidazole‐2‐yl)benzene/LiF/Al emits blue light with the maximum at 448 nm. Such unoptimized polymer light‐emitting diode (PLED) exhibits a maximum luminance of 1534 cd/m² with the current efficiency and power efficiency of 0.67 cd/A and 0.20 lm/W, respectively. The efficient blue emission and good EL performance make PFBI8 promising for optoelectronic applications. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem, 2012     

Solution processable indoloquinoxaline derivatives containing bulky polyaromatic hydrocarbons: synthesis, optical spectra, and electroluminescence

New hybrid materials featuring the dipolar fragment 6H-indolo[2,3-b]quinoxaline attached to the bulkier polyaromatic hydrocarbons such as fluoranthene, triphenylene, or polyphenylated benzene have been synthesized by a two-step procedure involving Sonogashira and Diels-Alder reactions. They were characterized by absorption, emission, electrochemical, thermal, and theoretical investigations. The electronic properties of the compounds were dominated by the 6H-indolo[2,3-b]quinoxaline chromophore, and the incorporation of polyaromatic hydrocarbons reduces the chances of nonradiative deactivation processes associated with the excited state and improves the emission properties. The compounds displayed cyan emission with moderate quantum efficiency when excited at the absorption maximum. All of the compounds exhibited an irreversible reduction process corresponding to the addition of electron at the quinoxaline segment. They showed moderate thermal stability and glass transition temperature greater than 100 °C. The presence of rigid 6H-indolo[2,3-b]quinoxaline and bulkier polyaromatic hydrocarbon segments enhances the thermal stability and glass transition temperature significantly. Finally, the dyes were successfully applied as an electron-transporting and emitting layer in multilayered organic light-emitting diodes comprising a N,N'-bis(l-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyl-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine hole-transporting layer. The cyan emitting devices were characterized by moderate device performance parameters.     

High-efficiency red-light emission from polyfluorenes grafted with cyclometalated iridium complexes and charge transport moiety

We report a new route for the design of electroluminescent polymers by grafting high-efficiency phosphorescent organometallic complexes as dopants and charge transport moieties onto alky side chains of fully conjugated polymers for polymer light-emitting diodes (PLED) with single layer/single polymers. The polymer system studied involves polyfluorene (PF) as the base conjugated polymer, carbazole (Cz) as the charge transport moiety and a source for green emission by forming an electroplex with the PF main chain, and cyclometalated iridium (Ir) complexes as the phosphorescent dopant. Energy transfer from the green Ir complex or an electroplex formed between the fluorene main chain and side-chain carbazole moieties, in addition to that from the PF main chain, to the red Ir complex can significantly enhance the device performance, and a red light-emitting device with the high efficiency 2.8 cd/A at 7 V and 65 cd/m2, comparable to that of the same Ir complex-based OLED, and a broad-band light-emitting device containing blue, green, and red peaks (2.16 cd/A at 9 V) are obtained.     

Poly (N-Isopropylacrylamide) microgel-based optical devices for humidity sensing

Optical sensors for environmental humidity have been constructed from poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-acrylic acid (pNIPAm-co-AAc) microgels. The devices were constructed by first depositing a monolithic layer of pNIPAm-co-AAc microgels on a Au-coated glass substrate followed by the addition of another Au layer on top. The resultant assembly showed visual color, and exhibited multipeak reflectance spectra. We found that the thickness of the device's microgel layer depended on environmental humidity, which corresponded to a change in the device's optical properties. Specifically, at low humidity the microgel layer was collapsed, while it absorbed water from the atmosphere (and swelled) as the humidity increased. Additionally, we investigated how the deposition of the hygroscopic polymer poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (pDADMAC) onto the microgel layer (prior to final Au layer deposition) influenced the devices humidity response. We found that the devices were more sensitive to humidity as the number of pDADMAC layers in the device increased. Finally, we evaluated the device performance at various temperatures, and found that the sensitivity was enhanced at low temperature, although the response was more linear at elevated temperature.
