聚合物级联发光器件

基于溶液加工方法制备了聚乙撑二氧噻吩-聚(苯乙烯磺酸盐)(PEDOT∶PSS)/氧化锌(ZnO)/乙氧基化聚乙烯亚胺(PEIE)电荷产生层的聚合物级联发光器件, 发现PEDOT∶PSS层电导和厚度对器件的电流-电压特性影响较小, 不同PEDOT∶PSS对器件发光效率的影响主要来自于其对发光层激子不同的猝灭作用, PEDOT∶PSS厚度为60 nm的级联器件比PEDOT∶PSS 厚度为30 nm的级联器件的发光效率稍高, 原因是PEDOT∶PSS较厚时, 其表面形貌更均匀。级联器件的发光效率和驱动电压分别与发光子单元的发光效率和驱动电压之和相近, 说明在较低的电压下电荷产生层就能够有效产生电荷并注入到发光子单元中,级联器件的发光光谱中包含两个发光子单元的发光光谱,说明两个发光子单元在级联器件中都能正常工作。通过对电荷产生层的电容-电压(C-V)特性的测试, 确认了在电荷产生层中存在电荷的积累过程。证明了PEDOT∶PSS/ZnO/PEIE为有效的电荷产生层。首次报道了包含三个SY-PPV发光单元的级联器件, 三个发光子单元发光效率之和与级联器件的发光效率相当, 其最大发光效率和最大外量子效率分别为21.7 cd·A-1和6.95%。在器件亮度为5 000 cd·m-2时, 器件的发光效率和外量子效率分别为20.5 cd·A-1和6.6%。说明并没有由于发光子单元数目增加而影响级联器件的发光效率。并且其发光光谱和发光子单元的发光光谱相接近。通过 进一步降低CGL中空穴注入层对级联器件的影响有望提高级联器件的发光效率。     

紫外臭氧处理超薄银修饰ITO电极的高效柔性有机太阳能电池

以紫外臭氧处理超薄Ag复合MoO₃或PEDOT：PSS修饰ITO电极的高效柔性有机太阳能电池。通过优化紫外臭氧处理Ag薄膜的时间,提高了以P3HT：PCBM为有源层的器件的功率转换效率,从1.68%（未经过紫外臭氧处理）提高到2.57%（紫外臭氧处理Ag 1 min）。提高的原因推测是紫外臭氧处理形成了AgO_x薄膜,提高了电荷提取并使器件具有高光学透明度、低串联电阻和优异的表面功函数等一些性能。并且,紫外臭氧处理Ag薄膜与MoO₃或者PEDOT：PSS复合修饰ITO的器件效率分别得到提高,Ag薄膜与MoO₃复合修饰ITO的器件效率从2.02%（PET/ITO/MoO₃）提高到2.97%（PET/ITO/AgO_x/MoO₃）,Ag薄膜与PEDOT：PSS复合修饰ITO的器件效率从2.01%（PET/ITO/PEDOT：PSS）提高到2.93%（PET/ITO/AgO_x/PEDOT：PSS）。此外,以PBDTTT-EFT：PC₇₁BM为有源层的柔性聚合物太阳能电池效率可达6.21%。基于ITO的柔性光电器件效率的提高主要归于ITO被Ag/PEDOT：PSS或Ag/MoO₃修饰后功函数的提高。     

PCDTBT作为发光层的有机电致发光器件研究

使用PCDTBT作为发光层材料,制备了发光波长为705 nm的红色有机电致发光器件,其结构为ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PCDTBT/BCP/LiF/Al.器件启亮电压为2 V,在9 V时器件达到最高亮度,为29000 cd/m2,最大电流效率为3.5 cd/A.还研究了不同退火温度对器件发光性能的影响.实验结果表明,退火温度为50?C时器件的性能最佳,其原因是此时既有利于溶剂挥发,又保持了分子结构的稳定性,而高温退火降低了PCDTBT的π-π堆积的有序性,从而使得器件性能下降.     

Efficient Top-Emitting Polymer Light-Emitting Diodes Using Chromium as Anode

We demonstrate a high eftlciency top-emitting polymer light-emitting diode （TPLED） with chromium （Cr） taking as the anode. The TPLED structure is Cr/poly-3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene （PEDOT：PSS）/poly [2-（4-3＇,7＇- dimethyloctyloxy）-phenyl]-p-phenylenevinylene） （P-PP V） /Ba/Ag. The Cr （ 100 nm） anode is prepared by sputterdepositing in a vacuum chamber. It is found that the device emissive properties are affected dramatically by the thickness of both PEDOT：PSS and the Ag cathode. Optimized thicknesses of PEDOT：PSS and Ag layer are 60nm and 15nm, respectively. The diode exhibits excellent electroluminescence （EL） properties, such as a turn-on voltage of 3.32 V, luminous eftlciency of 4.41 cd/A and luminance of 6989cd/m^2 at driving voltage of about 9 V.     

Enhanced quantum efficiency in polymer electroluminescence devices by inserting an ultrathin PMMA layer

We report an increase of electroluminescence (EL) efficiency by about two times for poly(2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene) (MEH-PPV) based polymer light-emitting diodes (PLED) while employing an ultrathin layer of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) between a hole injection layer, polyethylenedioxythiophenne:polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) and an emitting layer, MEH-PPV. The peak power efficiency of the control device (ITO/MEH-PPV/LiF/Al) was 0.42 lm/W with a current efficiency of 0.66 cd/A. The device with the optimized thickness of PMMA interface layer shows the highest power efficiency of 1.15 lm/W at a current efficiency exceeding 1.83 cd/A. The significant improvement in the device performance is attributed to the decrease of holes injection and the promotion of electrons injection, which cause the balance of the carriers within the emitting layer.     

Improvement in performance of organic light-emitting devices by inclusion of multi-wall carbon nanotubes

Poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) was modified by different concentrations of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), and the nanocomposites of PEDOT:PSS and MWNTs were firstly used as hole-injection layer in fabrication of organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) by using a double-layer structure with hole-injection layer of doped PEDOT:PSS and emitting/electron transport layer of tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato) aluminum (Alq₃). PEDOT:PSS solution doped with MWNTs was spin-coated on clean polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate with indium tin oxide (ITO). It was found that the electroluminescence (EL) intensity of the OLEDs were greatly improved by using PEDOT:PSS doped with MWNTs as hole-injection layer which might have resulted from the hole-injection ability improvement of the nanocomposites. Higher luminescence intensity and lower turn-on voltage were obtained by these devices and the luminance intensity obtained from the device with the hole-injection layer of PEDOT:PSS doped by 0.4 wt.% MWNTs was almost threefolds of that without doping.     

Effect of dye dopants in poly(methylphenyl silane) light-emitting devices

To investigate the inter-molecular energy transfer between polysilane and dye dopants, poly(methylphenylsilane)(PMPS) was used as a host material and perylene as the blue dopant. The structure of the devices is indium–tin oxide (ITO)/PEDOT:PSS(30 nm)/PMPS:perylene(dye dopant 0.1–1.0 mol%)(60 nm)/Alq₃(20 nm)/LiF(0.5 nm)/Al(100 nm). Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT):poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) is used as a buffer layer, tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum (Alq₃) as hole transporting layer, LiF as hole injection layer. The device shows a luminance 810 cd/m² at current density of 28 mA/cm², luminous efficiency of 0.14 lm/W. The external quantum efficiency (EQE) is about 0.5% and EQE increased up to 0.52% by doping with single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) into the emissive layer. We found an efficient inter-molecular energy transfer from polysilane to dye dopants. Furthermore, using the polysilane and energy-matched dye dopants enable to fabricate the electroluminescence devices through wet processes.

Efficient polymer white-light-emitting diodes with a single-emission layer of fluorescent polymer blend

Efficient polymer white-light-emitting diodes (WPLEDs) have been fabricated with a single layer of fluorescent polymer blend. The device structure consists of ITO/PEDOT/PVK/emissive layer/Ba/Al. The emissive layer is a blend of poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) (PFO), phenyl-substituted PPV derivative (P-PPV) and a copolymer of 9,9-dioctylfluorene and 4,7-di(4-hexylthien-2-yl)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (PFO-DHTBT), which, respectively, emits blue, green and red light. The emission of pure and efficient white light was implemented by tuning the blend weight ratio of PFO: P-PPV: PFO-DHTBT to 96:4:0.4. The maximum current efficiency and luminance are, respectively, 7.6 cd/A at 6.7 V and 11930 cd/m² at 11.2 V. The CIE coordinates of white-light emission were stable with the drive voltages.     

A comparative study of electrode effects on the electrical and luminescent characteristics of Alq3/TPD OLED: Improvements due to conductive polymer (PEDOT) anode

The performance of organic light emitting device (OLED) structures, based on identically fabricated Alq₃/TPD active regions, with various anode and cathode electrode structures are compared, and performance differences related to the different anode structure. The best performance was achieved with a conductive polymer, 3,4-polyethylenedioxythiopene-polystyrenesultonate (PEDOT), used as an anode layer, yielding a brightness of 1720 cd/m² at 25 V, a turn-on voltage of 3 V, and electroluminescence (EL) efficiency and external quantum efficiency of 8.2 cd/A and 2%, respectively, at a brightness of 100 cd/m² and 5 V. Compared to a baseline device (TPD/Alq₃/Al), PEDOT anodes substantially reduce the turn-on voltage and made current injection almost linear after turn-on, whiles devices incorporating a LiF and CuPc layers significantly improved device efficiency while slightly improving turn-on voltage and maintaining superlinear I-V injection. This is attributed to the reduced barrier at the organic-organic interface in PEDOT, the ‘ladder’ effect of stepping the band offset over several interfaces, and the favorable PEDOT film morphology. The benefit of the PEDOT anode is clearly seen in the improvement in device brightness and the high external quantum efficiency obtained.     

White-light-emitting devices based on Nile Red and π electron rich [Zn<Subscript>4core</Subscript>] complex

A white organic light-emitting device was fabricated with a structure of ITO/PEDOT: PSS (45 nm)/PVK: Nile Red: [Zn_4core] (75 nm)/BCP (25 nm)/Al. Without Nile Red green and with Nile Red white emission was achieved. When the concentration of the Nile Red in thin film increased from 0.01 to 0.5 wt%, a white emission achieved. The electroluminescence spectra of the device cover a wide range of visible region with two peaks around 501 and 618 nm. It is noteworthy that a white and pure white OLEDs with an incomplete energy transfer from the green host [Zn_4core] to the dopant (Nile Red) was obtained in this work using a single emissive layer relative to the multi layered light emitter ones in white OLED devices. For 0.1 doped device, a maximum luminance efficiency of 2.54 cd/A with CIE coordinates of (x, y = 0.35, 0.37) at 230 mA/cm² has was achieved.     

Electrophosphorescent devices with solution processible emitter and hole transport layer stack

The light emitting behavior of the electrophosphorescent devices with solution-processible hole transport layer and light emitting layer was characterized. We have introduced the hole-transporting stacked layer composed of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxy thiophene): poly(4-styrenesulfonate) [PEDOT:PSS] and thin perfluorinated ionomer, aiming for the improvement of charge injection and transport with corresponding high efficiency behavior. In order to provide a suitable work function, composition and thickness of the ultra-thin perfluorinated ionomer was optimized for being an interfacial layer condition; 34 cd/A of green phosphorescent device was obtained while the control device without ionomer shows the luminous efficiency of 29 cd/A. Both for devices with vacuum-deposited and solution-processed electrophosphorescent emitters, change of the device efficiencies were analyzed in terms of the work function, surface chemical composition, and charge conduction behavior.
