基于激子和电致激基复合物双重发光的白光OLED

基于四苯基乙烯衍生物设计合成了两种蓝光材料TPE-4Br和TPE-3Br,并将其作为有机发光二极管(OLED)器件的发光层,研究发现其可与合适的邻层(空穴传输层/电子传输层)形成电致激基复合物。利用材料的本征激子发光及其电致激基复合物发光,可以得到理想的白光电致发光。将TPE-4Br和TPE-3Br掺杂于mCP中作为发光层,以TAPC和TmPyPB分别作为空穴传输层和电子传输层分别制备器件A和器件B,所得器件在操作电压为9 V时的色坐标分别为(0.32,0.33)和(0.31,0.34)。其中器件B的最大亮度和最大电流效率分别为364.66 cd?m~(-2)与0.79 cd?A~(-1)。

以芴为原料,以钯为催化剂一步合成了2-(9-苯基芴基)-9,9′螺二芴(PF-SBF)。以PF-SBF作为有机发光二极管的发光及主体材料(FIrpic为磷光客体)时,观察到了不同于PF-SBF及FIrpic发光的红光带。这分别源于PF-SBF分子间的聚集和发光层/传输层诱导的激基复合物。通过选择合适的空穴和电子传输层,有效抑制了激基复合物的发光。同时,PF-SBF和TAPC双主体的结构不仅实现了纯FIrpic和Ir(ppy)3蓝光和绿光,还大幅提升了器件性能。蓝光、绿光器件的最大电流效率和最大亮度分达到16.7、50.5 cd·A^-1和7857 cd·m^-2(11 V)、23390 cd·m^-2(8 V)。另外,除了PF-SBF,利用相似的合成方法,我们也合成了2-(9-苯基芴基)-9,9′螺芴氧杂蒽(PF-SFX),其较大的三线态能级(2.8 eV)较PF-SBF更适合做蓝光主体。以TAPC和PFSFX为双主体的器件最大电流效率提升到了22.6 cd·A^-1。所有实验结果均表明,PF-SBF和PF-SFX是构建高效绿光/蓝光磷光主体材料的有效结构单元。

含稀土铕络合物的三元共聚物的光电性质

合成了可平衡电荷(空穴与电子)传输的三功能合一的稀土铕发光材料,将几种稀土铕络合物单体与乙烯基咔唑、甲基丙烯酸甲酯共聚制得含咔唑和稀土铕络合物的空穴传输层发光层电子传输层(HTLEMLETL)三功能合一的聚合物,并研究它们的电化学及电致发光性能.电化学分析表明这类三元共聚物兼有氧化性和还原性,氧化电位及还原电位分别为0.75V和-1.8V左右,可见这类材料同时具有空穴传输和电子传输功能.从测定的电致发光谱看,AlQ3、TPD及咔唑基等发光单元在器件中没有共发光,而是起电荷传输作用,以这些材料制作的电致发光器件所发的红光纯度都比较高.     

自组装单分子空穴传输层在反式钙钛矿太阳电池的研究进展

空穴传输层在钙钛矿太阳电池(Perovskite solar cell, PSC)中起着抽取和传输钙钛矿层产生的光生空穴、抑制电子回流等重要作用,是构成高性能器件的重要组成部分.经典的空穴传输材料,如2,2’,7,7’-四[N,N-二(4-甲氧基苯基)氨基]-9,9’-螺二芴(spiro-OMe TAD)、聚[双(4-苯基)(2,4,6-三甲基苯基)胺](PTAA)等,空穴迁移率低、价格昂贵等缺点限制了其规模化应用.近年来,在反式PSC中自组装单分子层(self-assembledmonolayers,SAM)作为空穴传输层广泛应用,提升了器件性能.SAM分子结构中含有锚定官能团,可以在衬底上形成单分子薄膜,有着材料消耗小、无需添加剂、寄生吸收低、能够兼容叠层器件和有利于大面积制造等优点,已成为PSC领域的研究热点.本综述结合PSC发展,按照SAM分子结构中锚定基团的不同,对近年来基于SAM的空穴传输层的研究进行了分类和归纳,结合分子骨架变化分析了结构变化对其特性及器件性能的影响.最后,对SAM作为空穴传输层的发展做了总结和展望.

用于电子传输材料的含噻吩环噁二唑衍生物的合成(英文)

在有机电致发光器件研究中,电子传输材料占有特殊重要的地位。但现存的材料存在着不同的缺点。因噁二唑环的高的电子亲和性,噁二唑衍生物是常见的电子传输材料,如:2-(4- 叔丁苯基)-5-联苯基噁二唑(PBD),但容易结晶和低的电子亲和性限制了它的应用。为了得到新的有效的电子传输材料,本文以噻吩为起始反应物经过二碘代、羧酸化、酯化、氨解等步骤合成了噻吩二酰肼,再通过噻吩二酰肼与相应的取代苯甲酰氯缩合、关环的方法将富电子的噻吩环和高电子亲和性的噻吩环同时引入,合成了三种新的含噻吩环噁二唑衍生物2,5-双[2,2’-双(5-取代苯基)-1,3,4-噁二唑]噻吩(R-OXD R=H,OCH_3,CH_3)。同时,采用循环伏安法对其电化学性能进行了测定。这三种化合物都在负方向出现了-对可逆的氧化还原峰,由此得到其电子亲和势(EA)分别为-3.10eV,-3.07eV和-3.08eV,其EA值都高于常用的电子传输材料PBD。R-OXD的高电子亲和势有利于电子从阴极注入。并且由时间渡越法(TOF)测得R-OXD的电子迁移率达到10~(-4)cm~2/V.S(E=10~6V/cm)。所以R-OXD有可能是好的电子传输材料。     

Efficient blue lighting materials based on truxene-cored anthracene derivatives for electroluminescent devices

A new series of anthracene derivatives containing a truxene moiety as the core have been synthesized and characterized. They emit in the blue region with excellent solution fluorescence quantum yields and possess high thermal decomposition temperature (T_d>458 °C). Typical electroluminescence performance was demonstrated by 2-[10-(4-(1-napthenyl)phenyl)anthracene-9-yl]-5,5′,10,10′,15,15′-hexaethyltruxene (NPAT) as the blue lighting material in the OLED with structure of ITO/CFx/NPAT/TPBI or Alq₃/LiF/Al, where TPBI and Alq₃ are 1,3,5-tri(N-phenylbenzimidazol-2-yl)-benzene and tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato)aluminum, respectively. Additionally, the effects of the different thickness of the different electron transporting layers on the device performance were investigated.     

Energy transfer and triplet exciton confinement in polymeric electrophosphorescent devices

Energy transfer and triplet exciton confinement in polymer/phosphorescent dopant systems have been investigated. Various combinations of host‐guest systems have been studied, consisting of two host polymers, poly(vinylcarbazole) (PVK) and poly[9,9‐bis(octyl)‐fluorene‐2,7‐diyl] (PF), blended with five different phosphorescent iridium complexes with different triplet energy levels. These combinations of hosts and dopants provide an ideal situation for studying the movement of triplet excitons between the host polymers and dopants. The excitons either can be confined at the dopant sites or can flow to the host polymers, subject to the relative position of the triplet energy levels of the material. For PF, because of its low triplet energy level, the exciton can flow back from the dopants to PF when the dopant has a higher triplet energy and subsequently quench the device efficiency. In contrast, efficient electrophosphorescence has been observed in doped PVK films because of the high triplet energy level of PVK. Better energy transfer from PVK to the dopants, as well as triplet exciton confinement on the dopants, leads to higher device performance than found in PF devices. Efficiencies as high as 16, 8.0, and 2.6 cd/A for green, yellow, and red emissions, respectively, can be achieved when PVK is selected as the host polymer. The results in this study show that the energy transfer and triplet exciton confinement have a pronounced influence on the device performance. In addition, this study also provides material design and selection rules for the efficient phosphorescent polymer light‐emitting diodes. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Dicyano-Imidazole: A Facile Generation of Pure Blue TADF Materials for OLEDs

A series of dicyano-imidazole-based molecules with thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) properties were synthesized to obtain pure blue-emitting organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The targeted molecules used dicyano-imidazole with a short-conjugated system as the electron acceptor to strong intermolecular π-π interactions, and provide a relatively shallow energy level of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO). The cyano group was selected to improve imidazole as an electron acceptor due to its prominent electron-transporting characteristics. Four different electron donors, that is, 9,9-dimethyl-9,10-dihydroacridine (DMAC), 10H-spiro(acridine-9,9’-fluoren) (SPAC), and 9,9-diphenyl-9,10-dihydroacridine (DPAC), were used to alternate the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level to tune the emission color further. The crowded molecular structure in space makes the electron donor and acceptor almost orthogonal, reducing the energy gap (ΔE_ST) between the first excited singlet (S₁) and the triplet (T₁) states and introducing significant TADF property. The efficiencies of the blue-emissive devices with imM-SPAC and imM-DMAC obtained in this work are the highest among the reported imidazole-based TADF-OLEDs, which are 13.8 % and 13.4 %, respectively. Both of Commission Internationale de l′Eclairage (CIE) coordinates are close to the saturated blue region at (0.17, 0.18) and (0.16, 0.19), respectively. Combining these tailor-made TADF compounds with specific device architectures, electroluminescent (EL) emission from sky-blue to deep-blue could be achieved, proving their great potential in EL applications.     

Carbazole end‐capped pyrene starburst with enhanced electrochemical stability and device performance

Carbazole end‐capped starburst molecule based on pyrene core “4CzFP” was synthesized and characterized. The starburst material shows good film‐forming ability and bright blue fluorescence. In cyclic voltammetry test, 4CzFP shows a high highest occupied molecular orbital energy level of ?5.26 eV, indicating it has good hole‐injection ability. The material is quite stable under series of cyclic voltammetry scans, implying its good electrochemical stability. Single‐layered electroluminescent device takes on stable blue emission with a peak current efficiency of 0.84 cd/A. Double‐layered device by adding Poly(N‐vinylcarbazole) (PVK) as a hole‐injection layer does not show any improvement, indicating that 4CzFP could be efficiently used as the hole‐injection/light‐emitting layer. The device performance is largely improved by adding a thin TPBI electron‐injection/transporting layer. The peak efficiency reaches 3.28 cd/A and the maximum brightness is over 2200 cd/m². © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem, 2010     

Optimization of high-performance blue organic light-emitting diodes containing tetraphenylsilane molecular glass materials

Molecular glass material (4-(5-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)-2-oxadiazolyl)phenyl)triphenylsilane (Ph(3)Si(PhTPAOXD)) was used as the blue light-emitting material in the fabrication of high-performance organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). In the optimization of performance, five types of OLEDs were constructed from Ph(3)Si(PhTPAOXD): device I, ITO/NPB/Ph(3)Si(PhTPAOXD)/Alq(3)/Mg:Ag, where NPB and Alq(3) are 1,4-bis(1-naphylphenylamino)biphenyl and tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum, respectively; device II, ITO/NPB/Ph(3)Si(PhTPAOXD)/TPBI/Mg:Ag, where TPBI is 1,3,5-tris(N-phenylbenzimidazol-2-yl)benzene; device III, ITO/Ph(2)Si(Ph(NPA)(2))(2)/Ph(3)Si(PhTPAOXD)/TPBI/Mg:Ag, where Ph(2)Si(Ph(NPA)(2))(2) is bis(3,5-bis(1-naphylphenylamino)phenyl)-diphenylsilane, a newly synthesized tetraphenylsilane-containing triarylamine as hole-transporting material; device IV, ITO/Ph(2)Si(Ph(NPA)(2))(2)/NPB/Ph(3)Si(PhTPAOXD)/TPBI/Mg:Ag; device V, ITO/CuPc/NPB /Ph(3)Si(PhTPAOXD)/Alq(3)/LiF/Al, where CuPc is Cu(II) phthalocyanine. Device performances, including blue color purity, electroluminescence (EL) intensity, current density, and efficiency, vary drastically by changing the device thickness (100-600 A of the light-emitting layer) and materials for hole-transporting layer (NPB and/or Ph(2)Si(Ph(NPA)(2))(2)) or electron-transporting material (Alq(3) or TPBI). One of the superior OLEDs is device IV, showing maximum EL near 19 000 cd/m(2) with relatively low current density of 674 mA/cm(2) (or near 3000 cd/m(2) at 100 mA/cm(2)) and high external quantum efficiency of 2.4% (1.1 lm/W or 3.1 cd/A). The device possesses good blue color purity with EL emission maximum (lambda(max)(EL)) at 460 nm, corresponding to (0.16, 0.18) of blue color chromaticity on CIE coordinates. In addition, the device is reasonably stable and sustains heating over 100 degrees C with no loss of luminance on the basis of the annealing data for device V. Formation of the exciplex at the interface of NPB and Ph(3)Si(PhTPAOXD) layers is verified by EL and photoluminescence (PL) spectra studies on the devices with a combination of different charge transporting materials. The EL due to the exciplex (lambda(max)(EL) at 490-510 nm) can be properly avoided by using a 200 A layer of Ph(3)Si(PhTPAOXD) in device I, which limits the charge-recombination zone away from the interface area.     

具有电子传输特性的Be金属配合物作为磷光主体材料的电致发光性能

Twisted penta‐Carbazole/Benzophenone Hybrid Compound as Multifunctional Organic Host,Dopant or Non‐doped Emitter for Highly Efficient Solution‐Processed Delayed Fluorescence OLEDs

A new multi‐functional penta‐carbazole/benzophenone hybrid compound 5CzBP was designed and synthesized through a simple one‐step catalyst‐free C—N coupling reaction by using 2,3,4,5,6‐pentafluorobenzophenone and carbazole as starting materials. 5CzBP is very soluble in tetrahydrofuran (THF), which brings an environmentally friendly device fabrication for solution‐processed OLEDs instead of most widely used chlorinated solvents when 5CzBP is employed as the bulk‐phase of organic host or non‐doped emitter in the emissive layer. 5CzBP exhibits thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) characteristic with relatively high triplet energy of 2.60 eV and a low ΔE_ST of 0.01 eV. By using the new TADF material as organic host for another green TADF emitter, maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 12.5% has been achieved in simple solution‐processed OLED device. Besides, a maximum EQE of 8.9% and 5.7% was further obtained in TADF devices based on 5CzBP as dopant and non‐doped emitter, respectively. The simultaneously acting as efficient TADF host and non‐doped TADF emitter provides the potential guidance of the future simple single‐layer two‐color white OLEDs based on low‐cost pure organic TADF materials.     

Novel thioxanthone host material with thermally activated delayed fluorescence for reduced efficiency roll-off of phosphorescent OLEDs

A symmetrical host material, 2,7-di(9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluoren-1-yl)-9H-thioxanthen-9-one (DMBFTX), with TADF property was firstly developed. The red phosphorescent OLED based on this TADF host displays a lower EQEs rolloff of 38.8% at a luminance of 10 000 cd/m² as compared to 71.2% of commercial mCP host, which is resulted from the upconversion of DMBFTX from triplet to singlet.     

A novel electron transport material with triazole and diphenylphosphine oxide moieties for high efficiency OLEDs

A novel electron transport material with 1,2,4-triazole and diphenylphosphine oxide moieties (TPO) has been designed and synthesized. The material exhibits wide energy gap (3.77 eV), deep HOMO level (−6.28 eV), high triplet energy (2.86 eV), high glass transition temperature (133 °C) and high thermal stability (decomposition temperature at 423 °C). Device using TPO as electron transport material showed lower driving voltage and higher efficiency compared with the commonly used electron transport materials, such as 3,5-bis(4-tert-butylphenyl)-4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole (TAZ), 1,3,5-tris(1-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)benzene (TPBI) and 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (BCP).
