We report that poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) derived from poly(ionic liquid) (PEDOT:PIL) constitutes a unique polymeric hole‐injecting material capable of improving device lifetime in organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs). Imidazolium‐based poly(ionic liquid)s were engineered to impart non‐acidic and non‐aqueous properties to PEDOT without compromising any other properties of PEDOT. A fluorescent OLED was fabricated using PEDOT:PIL as a hole‐injection layer and subjected to a performance evaluation test. In comparison with a control device using a conventional PEDOT‐based material, the device with PEDOT:PIL was found to achieve a significant improvement in terms of device lifetime. This improvement was attributed to a lower indium content in the PEDOT:PIL layer, which can be also interpreted as the effective protection characteristics of PEDOT:PIL for indium extraction from the electrodes.
A silver nanograins (AgNGs) incorporated poly[3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene] (PEDOT) modified electrode was prepared by a simple electrochemical method without using any stabilizer or reducing agent. The surface morphology and thickness of the resulting modified electrode was characterized by using AFM. It was found that the size of the silver particles in the PEDOT modified electrode was smaller than that in the bare electrode. AFM studies also revealed that AgNGs were uniformly distributed in the PEDOT modified electrode and the thickness of the film was found to be 35 nm. The AgNGs incorporated PEDOT modified electrode exhibited good electrocatalytic activity towards the reduction of hydrogen peroxide without an enzyme or mediator immobilized in the electrode. It has shown good amperometric response to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) with a detection limit of 7 μM and a response time of 5 s. 相似文献
A new electrogenerated chemiluminescence biosensor was fabricated by immobilizing ECL reagent Ru(bpy)32+ and alcohol dehydrogenase in sol-gel/chitosan/poly(sodium 4-styrene sulfonate) (PSS) organically modified composite material. The component PSS was used to immobilize ECL reagent Ru(bpy)32+ by ion-exchange, while the addition of chitosan was to prevent the cracking of conventional sol-gel-derived glasses and provide biocompatible microenvironment for alcohol dehydrogenase. Such biosensor combined enzymatic selectivity with the sensitivity of ECL detection for quantification of enzyme substrate and it was much simpler than previous double-layer design. The detection limit was 9.3 × 10−6 M for alcohol (S/N = 3) with a linear range from 2.79 × 10−5 to 5.78 × 10−2 M. With ECL detection, the biosensor exhibited wide linear range, high sensitivity and good stability. 相似文献
