Description

Non-doped solution processing type dendritic thermal activation delay fluorescence electroluminescent diode
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of organic photoelectric devices, in particular to a non-doped solution processing type dendritic thermal activation delay fluorescence electroluminescent diode and a preparation method thereof.
Background
At present, Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) have been applied and popularized in the display fields of smart phones, tablet computers, liquid crystal televisions, and the like. The traditional fluorescent material only utilizes 25% of singlet excitons, while the phosphorescent material contains noble metal, so that the manufacturing cost is very high, and the industrial application of the organic light-emitting diode is hindered to a certain extent. Pure organic compounds with the characteristics of Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence (TADF) successfully circumvent the two problems, and become the most potential organic luminescent materials of the third generation. At present, the processing technology of the vacuum evaporation type TADF-OLEDs is complex, complex and high in manufacturing cost, and is not beneficial to realizing the flexible and large-area display of the OLED. The TADF-OLED prepared by the solution processing technology has low cost and very simple technology, and particularly when a multi-element doping system is faced, the TADF-OLED only needs to be blended in proportion, so that the TADF-OLED is a hot-handable technology in the fields of future display and illumination.
When the current TADF micromolecule-based electroluminescent diode is used for preparing a multilayer device structure, the phenomenon of mutual solubility between layers generally occurs due to poor solvent resistance, so that a luminescence quenching center is generated, and the very serious device efficiency roll-off under high brightness is caused. In addition, these efficient small molecule systems are generally obtained by host-guest blending, which is very limited by the properties of the host material, such as the host material needs to have high T1, bipolar transport property, good solubility, and the like. However, in practice, the number of the main materials of solution processing type is very large, which increases the manufacturing cost of the solution processing device and limits the improvement of the performance of the device in various aspects including efficiency, roll-off, starting voltage and the like.
In 2017, C.Z.Lu et al designed and synthesized a Blue efficient TADF material B-oTC (Combining Charge-Transfer Pathways to Achieve Unique thermal Activated layered emissions Emitters for High-Performance Solution-Processed, Non-Processed Blue OLEDs, Angew.chem.int.Ed.2017,56, 15006-. The B-oTC-based blue undoped organic blue light emitting diode prepared by the solution method achieved an external quantum efficiency as high as 19.1%. However, devices based on this material are at 1000cd m-2The efficiency is only 9.7%, and the ignition voltage is up to 3.9V. The molecule has an excited state lifetime of up to 15 microseconds, and the design and selection of such a light emitting layer is undoubtedly the main factor contributing to the aggravation of exciton-exciton quenching at high current densities. It is well known that the two disadvantages of severe roll-off efficiency and high turn-on voltage are fatal to the development of the application of the flexible, large-area display of the solution-processed TADF-OLED.
Yamamoto et al report that after 40 minutes of lifetime of a non-doped solution processed TADF-OLED (Thermally activated delayed fluorescence OLEDs with full solution illumination of organic layers outside inhibiting new-10% external quantum efficiency. chem. Commun.,2017,53, 2439-2442), the lifetime problem of non-doped solution processed Thermally activated delayed fluorescence devices has not been substantially improved.
Therefore, in view of the current situation that the efficiency roll-off, the turn-on voltage and the service life of the conventional undoped solution processed electroluminescent diode are not ideal enough, the exploration and development of the undoped solution processed dendritic thermal activation delayed fluorescence electroluminescent diode with low turn-on voltage, low efficiency roll-off and long service life and the preparation method thereof are particularly important for promoting the flexible and large-area application of the OLED.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the defects and shortcomings of the prior art, the invention aims to provide a non-doped solution processing type dendritic thermal activation delay fluorescence electroluminescent diode.
The luminous layer in the thermal activation delayed fluorescence electroluminescent diode is a dendritic thermal activation delayed fluorescence luminous material, in particular to a dendritic thermal activation delayed fluorescence material with the excitation state life shorter than 5 microseconds. The dendritic self-body thermal activation delayed fluorescence material with the excited state life shorter than 5 microseconds is used for replacing the traditional luminous micromolecule or host-object doping system, and the problems of poor solvent resistance and film forming property, phase separation of host-object doping, triplet exciton limitation and the like are solved. Since quenching of triplet excitons between host and host, quenching of triplet excitons between host and guest, and quenching of triplet excitons between guest and guest are easily involved in a doping system, these quenching effects lead to generation of high-energy-state excitons. These high-energy excitons, which have a very high excited-state energy, are dissipated via non-radiative transitions, resulting in a significant waste of triplet excitons. The dendritic self-body thermal activation delayed fluorescence molecules with short excited state service life can effectively avoid the influence, and can ensure a rapid and effective reverse intersystem crossing process, rapidly convert high-concentration triplet excitons into singlet excitons through the intersystem crossing process, participate in radiative transition, release photons and further improve the problem of serious efficiency roll-off of the device under high current density. Furthermore, a simple device structure without any metal doped transport layer or multiple transport material blending participation achieves significantly extended device lifetimes.
The starting voltage of the non-doped solution processed dendritic thermal activation delay fluorescence electroluminescent diode is less than or equal to 2.7V and is 1000cd m-2The efficiency at luminance can still be maintained at 90% or more of the maximum external quantum efficiency at an initial luminance of 500cd m-2The device lifetime is greater than 6 hours.

The exciton blocking layer is preferably a layer.

And a cathode buffer layer is prepared between the electron transport layer and the cathode.
The preparation process comprises one or more of spin coating, brush coating, spray coating, dip coating, roll coating, evaporation coating, printing or ink-jet printing.

In order to show the superiority of the performance of the dendritic thermal activation delayed fluorescence light-emitting layer, the light-emitting layer P1 is used as a comparison, and the structural formula of P1 is as follows:
Figure BDA0002515003260000086
the preparation method of the undoped solution processing type thermal activation delay fluorescence electroluminescent diode comprises the following steps:
a plurality of ITO conductive glass substrates of the same batch number are taken, the specification is 15 mm multiplied by 15 mm, the thickness of the ITO is about 100 nm, and the square resistance of the ITO conductive glass substrates is about 10 ohm/square. The substrate was thoroughly cleaned in an ultrasonograph with tetrahydrofuran, isopropanol, detergent, deionized water, acetone and isopropanol in sequence, each cleaning step lasting 10 minutes to thoroughly remove dust, photoresist, etc. from the surface of the substrate, and then placed in a clean, dust-free oven to dry overnight at 75 ℃. When the device is formally prepared, firstly, O is used2The plasma is used for carrying out surface plasma treatment for 1 minute, so that the surface work function of the ITO is reduced, and the surface wettability and the film forming uniformity are improved. Then, PSS, a hole transport layer, PEDOT, was spin-coated onto a previously cleaned ITO glass substrate to a thickness of 40nm at 3000 rpm in a dry, dust-free, oxygen-free glove box, and annealed at 150 ℃ for 10 minutes to completely remove the water. Then transferred quickly to another anhydrous oxygen-free glove box filled with high purity nitrogen. A PVK hole transport layer (dissolved in chlorobenzene at a concentration of 8 mg/ml) was spin-coated at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes with a film thickness of 35nm and an annealing temperature of 125 ℃. Then spin coating prepared and filtered T1 or P1 chlorobenzene solution as light emitting layer material onto PVK layer at a certain speed of 3000 r/min to form light emitting layer with thickness of 40nm (PVK can be used as both transmission and exciton blocking), and then coating the light emitting layer material on the PVK layerAnnealing at 100 deg.C for 10 min to completely remove the solvent. Finally, the film is quickly transferred to a vacuum degree of 5.5-6.0X 10-5In the vacuum vapor deposition chamber of Pa, a thermal vapor deposition operation was started. First in turn with

And
Figure BDA0002515003260000092
the exciton blocking layer T2T (10nm) and the electron transport layer NBphen (40nm) were successively evaporated onto the spin-coated light-emitting layer at the evaporation rate of (1)
Figure BDA0002515003260000093
At a rate of evaporating a CsF layer (1.2nm) of cathode buffer layer material and
Figure BDA0002515003260000094
as a cathode (120nm), the electron transport layer was continuously evaporated with Al to obtain a complete device.
This example performs a photoelectric performance test on the above-described device. After the evaporation is finished, after the evaporation bin is cooled to the room temperature, the device is taken down after the bin is opened, and the device is simply packaged by utilizing the glass cover plate under the adhesion and solidification of the epoxy resin encapsulating glue. And finally, taking the device out of the glove box, and sequentially testing the performance of the device. The Electroluminescence (EL) spectrum is recorded by an optical analyzer PR 745. The current density and luminance dependence on the drive voltage and device lifetime were measured by Keithley-2400 and Konika Mentada chromatograph CS-200. From the lambertian distribution, the External Quantum Efficiency (EQE) of the device was calculated from the luminance, current density and EL spectra.
In this example, the transient fluorescence lifetime test was performed on the above light-emitting layer film. T1 and P1 thin films with the same thickness are prepared on clean and dust-free quartz wafers according to the processes of completely consistent spin coating speed, annealing temperature and the like in the device preparation process. The transient fluorescence lifetime is measured and recorded by a C4334 fluorescence lifetime measuring instrument.

Table 1 summarizes the device performance data for this example.

As can be seen from FIGS. 2- (a) to (e) and the data in Table 1: the blue-green light non-doped dendritic thermal activation delayed fluorescence device obtained by the embodiment simultaneously realizes the extremely low turn-on voltage of 2.7V, the maximum external quantum efficiency of 10.70 percent and 1000cd m-2The lower extremely suppressed efficiency decays. Initial luminance of 500cd m-2The life half-life was measured to be over 6.5 hours. Compared with a reference device, the excellent device performance shows that the dendritic self-body thermal activation delayed fluorescent material with the excited state life shorter than 5 microseconds is used as the light emitting layer, so that a very quick reverse intersystem crossing process is realized, the utilization rate of triplet excitons is improved, the exciton-exciton annihilation effect under high current density is effectively inhibited, better carrier transmission balance can be realized, and finally the improvement of the turn-on voltage, the efficiency roll-off and the device life is realized. It is noted that the device lifetime of this example can reach 6.74 hours, which is a substantial improvement on the lifetime problem of non-doped solution processed TADF-OLEDs.
