We demonstrate enhanced hole injection and lowered driving voltage in vacuum‐deposited organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) with a hole‐transport layer using the starburst amine 4,4′,4″‐tris(N,N‐diphenyl‐amino)triphenylamine (TDATA) p‐doped with a very strong acceptor, tetrafluoro‐tetracyano‐quinodimethane (F4‐TCNQ) by controlled coevaporation. The doping leads to high conductivity of doped TDATA layers and a high density of equilibrium charge carriers, which facilitates hole injection and transport. Moreover, multilayer OLEDs consisting of double hole‐transport layers of thick p‐doped TDATA and a thin triphenyl‐diamine (TPD) interlayer exhibit very low operating voltages.  相似文献

n‐Doping electron‐transport layers (ETLs) increases their conductivity and improves electron injection into organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs). Because of the low electron affinity and large bandgaps of ETLs used in green and blue OLEDs, n‐doping has been notoriously more difficult for these materials. In this work, n‐doping of the polymer poly[(9,9‐dioctylfluorene‐2,7‐diyl)‐alt‐(benzo[2,1,3]thiadiazol‐4,7‐diyl)] (F8BT) is demonstrated via solution processing, using the air‐stable n‐dopant (pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)(1,3,5‐trimethylbenzene)ruthenium dimer [RuCp*Mes]2. Undoped and doped F8BT films are characterized using ultraviolet and inverse photoelectron spectroscopy. The ionization energy and electron affinity of the undoped F8BT are found to be 5.8 and 2.8 eV, respectively. Upon doping F8BT with [RuCp*Mes]2, the Fermi level shifts to within 0.25 eV of the F8BT lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, which is indicative of n‐doping. Conductivity measurements reveal a four orders of magnitude increase in the conductivity upon doping and irradiation with ultraviolet light. The [RuCp*Mes]2‐doped F8BT films are incorporated as an ETL into phosphorescent green OLEDs, and the luminance is improved by three orders of magnitude when compared to identical devices with an undoped F8BT ETL.  相似文献

A novel, highly efficient hole injection material based on a conducting polymer polythienothiophene (PTT) doped with poly(perfluoroethylene‐perfluoroethersulfonic acid) (PFFSA) in organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) is demonstrated. Both current–voltage and dark‐injection‐current transient data of hole‐only devices demonstrate high hole‐injection efficiency employing PTT:PFFSA polymers with different organic charge‐transporting materials used in fluorescent and phosphorescent organic light‐emitting diodes. It is further demonstrated that PTT:PFFSA polymer formulations applied as the hole injection layer (HIL) in OLEDs reduce operating voltages and increase brightness significantly. Hole injection from PTT:PFFSA is found to be much more efficient than from typical small molecule HILs such as copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) or polymer HILs such as polyethylene dioxythiophene: polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT‐PSS). OLED devices employing PTT:PFFSA polymer also demonstrate significantly longer lifetime and more stable operating voltages compared to devices using CuPc.  相似文献

To maximize the short‐circuit current density (JSC) and the open circuit voltage (VOC) simultaneously is a highly important but challenging issue in organic solar cells (OSCs). In this study, a benzotriazole‐based p‐type polymer (J61) and three benzotriazole‐based nonfullerene small molecule acceptors (BTA1‐3) are chosen to investigate the energetic driving force for the efficient charge transfer. The lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels of small molecule acceptors can be fine‐tuned by modifying the end‐capping units, leading to high VOC (1.15–1.30 V) of OSCs. Particularly, the LUMO energy level of BTA3 satisfies the criteria for efficient charge generation, which results in a high VOC of 1.15 V, nearly 65% external quantum efficiency, and a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 8.25%. This is one of the highest VOC in the high‐performance OSCs reported to date. The results imply that it is promising to achieve both high JSC and VOC to realize high PCE with the carefully designed nonfullerene acceptors.  相似文献

The rate‐limiting step of charge generation in charge‐generation units (CGUs) composed of a p‐doped hole‐transporting layer (p‐HTL), 1,4,5,8,9,11‐hexaazatriphenylene hexacarbonitrile (HATCN) and n‐doped electron‐transporting layer (n‐ETL), where 1,1‐bis‐(4‐bis(4‐methyl‐phenyl)‐amino‐phenyl)‐cyclohexane (TAPC) was used as the HTL is reported. Energy level alignment determined by the capacitance–voltage (CV) measurements and the current density–voltage characteristics of the structure clearly show that the electron injection at the HATCN/n‐ETL junction limits the charge generation in the CGUs rather than charge generation itself at the p‐HTL/HATCN junction. Consequently, the CGUs with 30 mol% Rb2CO3‐doped 4,7‐diphenyl‐1,10‐phenanthroline (BPhen) formed with the HATCN layer generates charges very efficiently and the excess voltage required to generate the current density of ±10 mA cm?2 is around 0.17 V, which is extremely small compared with the literature values reported to date.  相似文献

By using pyran‐containing donor–acceptor dyes as doping molecules in organic light‐emitting devices (OLEDs), we scrutinize the effects of charge trapping and polarization induced by the guest molecules in the electro‐active host material. Laser dyes 4‐(dicyanomethylene)‐2‐methyl‐6‐[2‐(julolidin‐9‐yl)phenyl]ethenyl]‐4H‐pyran (DCM2) and the novel 4‐(dicyanomethylene)‐2‐methyl‐6‐{2‐[(4‐diphenylamino)phenyl]ethenyl}‐4H‐pyran (DCM‐TPA) are used as model compounds. The emission color of these polar dyes depends strongly on doping concentration, which we have attributed to polarization effects induced by the doping molecules themselves. Their frontier orbital energy levels are situated within the bandgap of the tris(8‐hydroxyquinoline)aluminum (Alq3) host matrix and allow the investigation of either electron trapping or both electron and hole trapping. In the case of DCM‐TPA doping, we were able to show that electron trapping leads to a partial shift of the recombination zone out of the doped Alq3 region. To impede charge‐recombination processes taking place in the undoped host matrix, a charge‐blocking layer efficiently confines the recombination zone inside the doped zone and gives rise to increased luminous efficiency. For a doping concentration of 1 wt.‐% we obtain a maximum luminous efficiency of 10.4 cd A–1. At this doping concentration, the yellow emission spectrum shows excellent color saturation with CIE chromaticity coordinates x, y of 0.49 and 0.50, respectively. In the case of DCM2 the recombination zone is much less affected for the same doping concentrations, which is ascribed to the fact that both electrons and holes are being trapped. The experimental findings are corroborated with a numerical simulation of the doped multilayer devices.  相似文献

This paper reports an analysis of the properties of polymer light‐emitting devices (PLEDs) doped with iridium complexes. Devices based on charged and neutral complexes doped into poly(vinylcarbazole) (PVK) are presented, and the role of the ions and the charge‐transport properties of the complexes are discussed. In devices with the charged complexes, the concentration of the complex is found to have a profound effect on both the switch‐on voltage and the efficiency. At higher doping concentrations the efficiency is increased and the switch‐on voltage decreased. The increase in efficiency and decrease in switch‐on voltage at higher dopant concentration are found to be due to an alternative charge transport path via the iridium dopant [Ir(bpy)]+ (bis(2‐phenylpyridine‐C2,N′)(2,2′‐bipyridine)iridium hexafluorophosphate). However, at lower concentrations the complex becomes an electron trap and the efficiency is reduced. The devices are found to be significantly less efficient than those with neutral complexes. This difference is attributed to the ionic content and the charge trapping properties of the charged complexes. The low efficiency of the charged‐complex‐based devices could be overcome by utilizing a hole‐blocking layer; devices with efficiencies as high as 23 cd A–1 were obtained.  相似文献

The active part of present polymer light‐emitting diodes (PLEDs) consists of only a single layer. Multilayer devices have the advantage that the electron and hole transport can be balanced and that the recombination can be removed from the metallic cathode, leading to higher efficiencies. A major problem for polymer‐based multilayer devices is the solubility of the materials used; a multilayer can not be fabricated when a spin‐cast layer dissolves in the solvent of the subsequent layer. We demonstrate the development of high‐mobility poly(p‐phenylenevinylene) (PPV)‐based hole‐transport layers with tunable solubility by chemical modification. Enhanced charge‐transport properties are achieved by using symmetrically substituted PPVs; copolymers of long and short side chains enable us to tune the solubility without loss of the enhanced charge transport. Dual‐layer PLEDs, in which the holes are efficiently transported via this copolymer towards the luminescent layer, exhibit an enhanced efficiency at high voltages (> 10 V) and a strongly improved robustness against electrical breakdown.  相似文献

High‐performance, blue, phosphorescent organic light‐emitting diodes (PhOLEDs) are achieved by orthogonal solution‐processing of small‐molecule electron‐transport material doped with an alkali metal salt, including cesium carbonate (Cs2CO3) or lithium carbonate (Li2CO3). Blue PhOLEDs with solution‐processed 4,7‐diphenyl‐1,10‐phenanthroline (BPhen) electron‐transport layer (ETL) doped with Cs2CO3 show a luminous efficiency (LE) of 35.1 cd A?1 with an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 17.9%, which are two‐fold higher efficiency than a BPhen ETL without a dopant. These solution‐processed blue PhOLEDs are much superior compared to devices with vacuum‐deposited BPhen ETL/alkali metal salt cathode interfacial layer. Blue PhOLEDs with solution‐processed 1,3,5‐tris(m‐pyrid‐3‐yl‐phenyl)benzene (TmPyPB) ETL doped with Cs2CO3 have a luminous efficiency of 37.7 cd A?1 with an EQE of 19.0%, which is the best performance observed to date in all‐solution‐processed blue PhOLEDs. The results show that a small‐molecule ETL doped with alkali metal salt can be realized by solution‐processing to enhance overall device performance. The solution‐processed metal salt‐doped ETLs exhibit a unique rough surface morphology that facilitates enhanced charge‐injection and transport in the devices. These results demonstrate that orthogonal solution‐processing of metal salt‐doped electron‐transport materials is a promising strategy for applications in various solution‐processed multilayered organic electronic devices.  相似文献

The mechanism of charge generation in transition metal oxide (TMO)‐based charge‐generation layers (CGL) used in stacked organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) is reported upon. An interconnecting unit between two vertically stacked OLEDs, consisting of an abrupt heterointerface between a Cs2CO3‐doped 4,7‐diphenyl‐1,10‐phenanthroline layer and a WO3 film is investigated. Minimum thicknesses are determined for these layers to allow for simultaneous operation of both sub‐OLEDs in the stacked device. Luminance–current density–voltage measurements, angular dependent spectral emission characteristics, and optical device simulations lead to minimum thicknesses of the n‐type doped layer and the TMO layer of 5 and 2.5 nm, respectively. Using data on interface energetic determined by ultraviolet photoelectron and inverse photoemission spectroscopy, it is shown that the actual charge generation occurs between the WO3 layer and its neighboring hole‐transport material, 4,4',4”‐tris(N‐carbazolyl)‐triphenyl amine. The role of the adjacent n‐type doped electron transport layer is only to facilitate electron injection from the TMO into the adjacent sub‐OLED.  相似文献

In order to fulfill the promise of organic electronic devices, performance‐limiting factors, such as the energetic discontinuity of the material interfaces, must be overcome. Here, improved performance of polymer light‐emitting diodes (PLEDs) is demonstrated using self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) of triarylamine‐based hole‐transporting molecules with phosphonic acid‐binding groups to modify the surface of the indium tin oxide (ITO) anode. The modified ITO surfaces are used in multilayer PLEDs, in which a green‐emitting polymer, poly[2,7‐(9,9‐dihexylfluorene)‐co‐4,7‐(2,1,3‐benzothiadiazole)] (PFBT5), is sandwiched between a thermally crosslinked hole‐transporting layer (HTL) and an electron‐transporting layer (ETL). All tetraphenyl‐diamine (TPD)‐based SAMs show significantly improved hole‐injection between ITO and the HTL compared to oxygen plasma‐treated ITO and simple aromatic SAMs on ITO. The device performance is consistent with the hole‐transporting properties of triarylamine groups (measured by electrochemical measurements) and improved surface energy matching with the HTL. The turn‐on voltage of the devices using SAM‐modified anodes can be lowered by up to 3 V compared to bare ITO, yielding up to 18‐fold increases in current density and up to 17‐fold increases in brightness at 10 V. Variations in hole‐injection and turn‐on voltage between the different TPD‐based molecules are attributed to the position of alkyl‐spacers within the molecules.  相似文献

A novel host material containing silicon‐cored spirobifluorene derivative (SBP‐TS‐PSB), is designed, synthesized, and characterized for red phosphorescent organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs). The SBP‐TS‐PSB has excellent thermal and morphological stabilities and exhibits high electroluminescence (EL) efficiency as a host for the red phosphorescent OLEDs. The electrophosphorescence properties of the devices using SBP‐TS‐PSB as the host and red phosphorescent iridium (III) complexes as the emitter are investigated and these devices exhibit higher EL performances compared with the reference devices with 4,4′‐N,N′‐dicarbazole‐biphenyl (CBP) as a host material; for example, a (piq)2Ir(acac)‐doped SBP‐TS‐PSB device shows maximum external quantum efficiency of ηext = 14.6%, power efficiency of 10.3 lm W?1 and Commission International de L'Eclairage color coordinates (0.68, 0.32) at J = 1.5 mA cm?2, while the device with the CBP host shows maximum ηext = 12.1%. These high performances can be mainly explained by efficient triplet energy transfer from the host to the guests and improved charge balance attributable to the bipolar characteristics of the spirobifluorene group.  相似文献

This study reports an effective amidine‐type n‐dopant of 1,8‐Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec‐7‐ene (DBU) that can universally dope electron acceptors, including PC61BM, N2200, and ITIC, by mixing the dopant with the acceptors in organic solvents or exposing the acceptor films in the dopant vapor. The doping mechanism is due to its strong electron‐donating property that is also confirmed via the chemical reduction of PEDOT:PSS (yielding color change). The DBU doping considerably increases the electrical conductivity and shifts the Fermi levels up of the PC61BM films. When the DBU‐doped PC61BM is used as an electron‐transporting layer in perovskite solar cells, the n‐doping removes the “S‐shape” of JV characteristics, which leads to the fill factor enhancement from 0.54 to 0.76. Furthermore, the DBU doping can effectively lower the threshold voltage and enhance the electron mobility of PC61BM‐based n‐channel field‐effect transistors. These results show that the DBU can be a promising n‐dopant for solution‐processed electronics.  相似文献

Cesium azide (CsN3) is employed as a novel n‐dopant because of its air stability and low deposition temperature. CsN3 is easily co‐deposited with the electron transporting materials in an organic molecular beam deposition chamber so that it works well as an n‐dopant in the electron transport layer because its evaporation temperature is similar to that of common organic materials. The driving voltage of the p‐i‐n device with the CsN3‐doped n‐type layer and a MoO3‐doped p‐type layer is greatly reduced, and this device exhibits a very high power efficiency (57 lm W?1). Additionally, an n‐doping mechanism study reveals that CsN3 was decomposed into Cs and N2 during the evaporation. The charge injection mechanism was investigated using transient electroluminescence and capacitance–voltage measurements. A very highly efficient tandem organic light‐emitting diodes (OLED; 84 cd A?1) is also created using an n–p junction that is composed of the CsN3‐doped n‐type organic layer/MoO3 p‐type inorganic layer as the interconnecting unit. This work demonstrates that an air‐stable and low‐temperature‐evaporable inorganic n‐dopant can very effectively enhance the device performance in p‐i‐n and tandem OLEDs, as well as simplify the material handling for the vacuum deposition process.  相似文献

MXenes (Ti3C2) are 2D transition‐metal carbides and carbonitrides with high conductivity and optical transparency. However, transparent MXene electrodes suitable for polymer light‐emitting diodes (PLEDs) have rarely been demonstrated. With the discovery of the excellent electrical stability of MXene under an alternating current (AC), herein, PLEDs that employ MXene electrodes and exhibit high performance under AC operation (AC MXene PLEDs) are presented. The PLED exhibits a turn‐on voltage, current efficiency, and brightness of 2.1 V, 7 cd A?1, and 12 547 cd m?2, respectively, when operated under AC with a frequency of 1 kHz. The results indicate that the undesirable electric breakdown associated with heat arising from the poor interface of the MXene with a hole transport layer in the direct‐current mode is efficiently suppressed by the transient injection of carriers accompanied by the alternating change of the electric polarity under the AC, giving rise to reliable light emission with a high efficiency. The solution‐processable MXene electrode can be readily fabricated on a flexible polymer substrate, allowing for the development of a mechanically flexible AC MXene PLED with a higher performance than flexible PLEDs employing solution‐processed nanomaterial‐based electrodes such as carbon nanotubes, reduced graphene oxide, and Ag nanowires.  相似文献

A new approach to forming a gradient hole‐injection layer in polymer light‐emitting diodes (PLEDs) is demonstrated. Single spin‐coating of hole‐injecting conducting polymer compositions with a perfluorinated ionomer results in a work function gradient through the layer formed by self‐organization, which leads to remarkably efficient single‐layer PLEDs (ca. 21 cd A–1). The device lifetime is significantly improved (ca. 50 times) compared with the conventional hole‐injection layer, poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(styrene sulfonate). These results are a good example for demonstrating that the shorter lifetime of PLEDs compared with small‐molecule‐based organic LEDs (SM‐OLEDs) is not mainly due to the inherent degradation of the polymeric emitter itself. Hence, the results open the way to further improvements of PLEDs for real applications to large‐area, high‐resolution, and full‐color flexible displays.  相似文献

White‐light‐emitting electrochemical cells (WLECs) still represent a significant milestone, since only a few examples with moderate performances have been reported. Particularly, multiemissive white emitters are highly desired, as a paradigm to circumvent phase separation and voltage‐dependent emission color issues that are encountered following host:guest and multilayered approaches. Herein, the origin of the exclusive white ternary electroluminescent behavior of BN‐doped nanographenes with a B3N3 doping pattern (hexa‐perihexabenzoborazinocoronene) is rationalized, leading to one of the most efficient (≈3 cd A?1) and stable‐over‐days single‐component and single‐layered WLECs. To date, BN‐doped nanographenes have featured blue thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). This doping pattern provides, however, white electroluminescence spanning the whole visible range (x/y CIE coordinates of 0.29–31/0.31–38 and average color rendering index (CRI) of 87) through a ternary emission involving fluorescence and thermally activated dual phosphorescence. This temperature‐dependent multiemissive mechanism is operative for both photo‐ and electroluminescence processes and holds over the device lifespan, regardless of the device architecture, active layer composition, and operating conditions. As such, this work represents a new stepping‐stone toward designing a new family of multiemissive white emitters based on BN‐doped nanographenes that realizes one of the best‐performing single‐component white‐emitting devices compared to the prior‐art.  相似文献

Graphene has been considered to be a potential alternative transparent and flexible electrode for replacing commercially available indium tin oxide (ITO) anode. However, the relatively high sheet resistance and low work function of graphene compared with ITO limit the application of graphene as an anode for organic or polymer light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs or PLEDs). Here, flexible PLEDs made by using bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide (TFSA, [CF3SO2]2NH) doped graphene anodes are demonstrated to have low sheet resistance and high work function. The graphene is easily doped with TFSA by means of a simple spin‐coating process. After TFSA doping, the sheet resistance of the TFSA‐doped five‐layer graphene, with optical transmittance of ≈88%, is as low as ≈90 Ω sq?1. The maximum current efficiency and power efficiency of the PLED fabricated on the TFSA‐doped graphene anode are 9.6 cd A?1 and 10.5 lm W?1, respectively; these values are markedly higher than those of the PLED fabricated on pristine graphene anode and comparable to those of an ITO anode.  相似文献

Despite extensive progress in organic field‐effect transistors, there are still far fewer reliable, high‐mobility n‐type polymers than p‐type polymers. It is demonstrated that by using dopants at a critical doping molar ratio (MR), performance of n‐type polymer poly[[N,N9‐bis(2‐octyldodecyl)‐naphthalene‐1,4,5,8‐bis(dicarboximide)‐2,6‐diyl]‐alt‐5,59‐(2,29‐bithiophene)] (P(NDI2DO‐T2)) field‐effect transistors (FETs) can be significantly improved and simultaneously optimized in mobility, on–off ratio, crystallinity, injection, and reliability. In particular, when using the organic dopant bis(cyclopentadienyl)–cobalt(II) (cobaltocene, CoCp2) at a low concentration (0.05 wt%), the FET mobility is increased from 0.34 to 0.72 cm2 V–1 s–1, and the threshold voltage was decreased from 32.7 to 8.8 V. The relationship between the MR of dopants and electrical characteristics as well as the evolution in polymer crystallinity revealed by synchrotron X‐ray diffractions are systematically investigated. Deviating from previous discoveries, it is found that mobility increases first and then decreases drastically beyond a critical value of MR. Meanwhile, the intensity and width of the main peak of in‐plane X‐ray diffraction start to decrease at the same critical MR. Thus, the mobility decrease is correlated with the disturbed in‐plane crystallinity of the conjugated polymer, for both organic and inorganic dopants. The method provides a simple and efficient approach to employing dopants to optimize the electrical performance and microstructure of P(NDI2DO‐T2).  相似文献

The effect of dye‐doping in ambipolar light‐emitting organic field‐effect transistors (LE‐OFETs) is investigated from the standpoint of the carrier mobilities and the electroluminescence (EL) characteristics under ambipolar operation. Dye‐doping of organic crystals permits not only tuning of the emission color but also significantly increases the efficiency of ambipolar LE‐OFETs. A rather high external EL quantum efficiency (~0.64%) of one order of magnitude higher than that of a pure p‐distyrylbenzene (P3V2) single crystal is obtained by tetracene doping. The doping of tetracene molecules into a host P3V2 crystal has almost no effect on the electron mobility and the dominant carrier recombination process in the tetracene‐doped P3V2 crystal involves direct carrier recombination on the tetracene molecules.  相似文献
