Organic Tribotronic Transistor for Contact‐Electrification‐Gated Light‐Emitting Diode

Tribotronics is a new field about the devices fabricated using the electrostatic potential created by contact electrification as a “gate” voltage to tune/control charge carrier transport in semiconductors. In this paper, an organic tribotronic transistor is proposed by coupling an organic thin film transistor (OTFT) and a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) in vertical contact‐separation mode. Instead of using the traditional gate voltage for controlling, the charge carrier transportation in the OTFT can be modulated by the contact‐induced electrostatic potential of the TENG. By further coupling with an organic light‐emitting diode, a contact‐electrification‐gated light‐emitting diode (CG‐LED) is fabricated, in which the operating current and light‐emission intensity can be tuned/controlled by an external force–induced contact electrification. Two different modes of the CG‐LED have been demonstrated and the brightness can be decreased and increased by the applied physical contact, respectively. Different from the conventional organic light‐emitting transistor controlled by an electrical signal, the CG‐LED has realized the direct interaction between the external environment/stimuli and the electroluminescence device. By introducing optoelectronics into tribotronics, the CG‐LED has open up a new field of tribophototronics with many potential applications in interactive display, mechanical imaging, micro‐opto‐electro‐mechanical systems, and flexible/touch optoelectronics.

以具有高离化能的n型小分子材料PBD、BCP作为激子限制层,用交替沉积的方式制备了分别以Alq3/PBD、NPB/BCP为周期结构多发光层的绿光、蓝光器件.周期性多发光层结构的引入大大提高了器件性能,其中,具有双周期3发光层的绿光器件最大亮度和效率分别是常规器件的10.5倍和4.4倍,具有双周期双发光层的蓝光器件最大亮度和效率分别是常规器件的2.75和1.45倍.器件性能提高的主要原因是周期性结构的引入和多发光区域的划分增加了激子产生几率.同时,周期数对器件性能有重要影响.绿光、蓝光器件电致发光(EL)谱谱峰值基本稳定,半高谱宽出现了窄化.

Exciton-induced degradation of organic/electrode interfaces in ultraviolet organic photodetectors

We study the degradation mechanisms of ultraviolet (UV) organic photodetectors (OPDs). Contrary to expectations, we determine that the bulk of the organic layers in UV OPDs is stable under prolonged UV irradiation, showing no detectable changes in photophysical characteristics such as photoluminescence yield and exciton lifetime and thus not contributing to the observed degradation behavior of UV OPDs. However, the results show that the organic/electrode interfaces in UV OPDs, including indium tin oxide (ITO)/organic and organic/metal ones, are susceptible to UV irradiation, leading to a deterioration in both charge injection and extraction across the interfaces. The degradation of the organic/electrode interfaces in UV OPDs is essentially induced by UV-generated excitons in their vicinity and may be responsible for nearly 100% of the photo-current loss of UV OPDs. Approaches for improving the photo-stability of organic/electrode interfaces, and thus the lifetime of UV OPDs, are also investigated. We demonstrate that the use of thin (∼0.5 nm) interfacial layers such as lithium acetylacetonate at organic/metal interfaces can significantly reduce the interfacial degradation, and the use of appropriate hole transport materials such as N,N′-bis (naphthalen-1-yl)-N,N′-bis(phenyl) benzidine at ITO/organic interfaces can greatly improve the interfacial photo-stability.     

Sub-2 nm Ultrathin and Robust 2D FeNi Layered Double Hydroxide Nanosheets Packed with 1D FeNi-MOFs for Enhanced Oxygen Evolution Electrocatalysis

Water oxidation is a critical process for electrochemical water splitting due to its inherent sluggish kinetics. In spite of the high catalytic activities of noble metal-based electrocatalysts for water oxidation, their high cost, rare reserves, and low stabilities drive researchers to exploit efficient but low-cost electrocatalysts. Ultrathin 2D nanomaterials are considered efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in water splitting. Herein, a facile strategy is proposed to fabricate 2D FeNi layered double hydroxide (FeNi-LDH) nanosheets packed with the in situ produced 1D sword-like FeNi-MOFs by using FeNi-LDH as a semi-sacrificial template. In the composite, the thickness of the formed nanosheets is only 1.34 nm, much thinner than that of most previously reported 2D materials. The 1D porous sword-like MOF nanorods have a long length of around 1.3 µm. Due to the unique 2D/1D combined structure, the as-prepared FeNi LDH/MOF is directly used as electrocatalyst for the OER displays enhanced OER electrocatalytic performance with a low overpotential of 272 mV@100 mA cm^–2, a small Tafel slope of 34.1 mV dec^–1, high long-term durability. This work provides a new way to fabricate integrated ultrathin 2D nanosheets and MOFs as advanced catalysts for electrochemical energy conversion.     

Toward High-Performance Dihydrophenazine-Based Conjugated Microporous Polymer Cathodes for Dual-Ion Batteries through Donor–Acceptor Structural Design

Recent studies have demonstrated that dihydrophenazine (Pz) with high redox-reversibility and high theoretical capacity is an attractive building block to construct p-type polymer cathodes for dual-ion batteries. However, most reported Pz-based polymer cathodes to date still suffer from low redox activity, slow kinetics, and short cycling life. Herein, a donor–acceptor (D–A) Pz-based conjugated microporous polymer (TzPz) cathode is constructed by integrating the electron-donating Pz unit and the electron-withdrawing 2,4,6-triphenyl-1,3,5-triazine (Tz) unit into a polymer chain. The D–A type structure enhances the polymer conjugation degree and decreases the band gap of TzPz, facilitating electron transportation along the polymer skeletons. Therefore the TzPz cathode for dual-ion battery shows a high reversible capacity of 192 mAh g⁻¹ at 0.2 A g⁻¹ with excellent rate performance (108 mAh g⁻¹ at 30 A g⁻¹), which is much higher than that of its counterpart polymer BzPz produced from 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene (Bz) and Pz (148 and 44 mAh g⁻¹ at 0.2 and 10 A g⁻¹, respectively). More importantly, the TzPz cathode also shows a long and stable cyclability of more than 10 000 cycles. These results demonstrate that the D–A structural design is an efficient strategy for developing high-performance polymer cathodes for dual-ion batteries.     

Sensitization of zinc oxide photoanode with an indoline dye

A dye‐sensitized solar cell (DSC) made of nanoporous ZnO film on aluminum‐doped zinc oxide (ZnO/AZO) transparent substrate has higher solar‐to‐electric energy conversion efficiency than a DSC consisting of nanoporous ZnO film deposited on conventional fluorine‐doped tin oxide (ZnO/FTO) transparent substrate. The ZnO/AZO DSC gave an overall conversion efficiency of 7.2% whereas the ZnO/FTO yielded a conversion efficiency of 4.5%. The film‐substrate orientation and higher light harvesting of the nanoporous ZnO film on the AZO after heating in air are mainly attributed to the higher energy conversion efficiency of the ZnO/AZO DSC.
