Studies on the photodegradation of red, green and blue phosphorescent OLED emitters.

ABSTRACT: The photodegradation behavior of four well-established iridium emitters was investigated. Irradiation of the samples in different solvents and under atmospheric as well as inert conditions helped to identify several pathways that can contribute to the deterioration of these compounds. Degradation via singlet oxygen or the excited states of the emitters as well as the detrimental influence of halogenated solvents are discussed for the different investigated iridium complexes. Some of the resulting degradation products could be identified by using LC-MS or other analytical techniques. The results show how even small structural changes can have a huge influence on rate and mechanism of the photodegradation. The observations from this study may help to better understand degradation processes occurring during the handling of the materials, but also during device processing and operation.

Highly efficient single-stack hybrid cool white OLED utilizing blue thermally activated delayed fluorescent and yellow phosphorescent emitters.

Project description:Highly efficient single-stack hybrid cool white organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) having blue-yellow-blue multiple emitting layers (EMLs) are designed and constructed by utilizing blue thermally activated delayed fluorescent (TADF) and yellow phosphorescent emitters. The out-coupling efficiencies of yellow and blue emissions are maximized by tuning the ITO and total device thickness that satisfies both of antinode positions for yellow and blue emissions in a limited multiple EML thickness. To obtain a cool white emission, the exciton formation ratio in the blue-yellow-blue multiple EML system is controlled by manipulating the recombination zone through charge conductivity variation of host medium in the blue TADF EML. The resulting device exhibits cool white emission with very high maximum external quantum efficiency of 23.1% and CIE color coordinates of (0.324, 0.337). We anticipate that the studied approach will raise the viability of single-stack hybrid cool white OLEDs for high performance display applications.

Pyridinyl-Carbazole Fragments Containing Host Materials for Efficient Green and Blue Phosphorescent OLEDs.

Project description:Pyridinyl-carbazole fragments containing low molar mass compounds as host derivatives H1 and H2 were synthesized, investigated, and used for the preparation of electro-phosphorescent organic light-emitting devices (PhOLEDs). The materials demonstrated high stability against thermal decomposition with the decomposition temperatures of 361-386 °C and were suitable for the preparation of thin amorphous and homogeneous layers with very high values of glass transition temperatures of 127-139 °C. It was determined that triplet energy values of the derivatives are, correspondingly, 2.82 eV for the derivative H1 and 2.81 eV for the host H2. The new derivatives were tested as hosts of emitting layers in blue, as well as in green phosphorescent OLEDs. The blue device with 15 wt.% of the iridium(III)[bis(4,6-difluorophenyl)-pyridinato-N,C2']picolinate (FIrpic) emitter doping ratio in host material H2 exhibited the best overall characteristics with a power efficiency of 24.9 lm/W, a current efficiency of 23.9 cd/A, and high value of 10.3% of external quantum efficiency at 100 cd/m2. The most efficient green PhOLED with 10 wt% of Ir(ppy)3 {tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium(III)} in the H2 host showed a power efficiency of 34.1 lm/W, current efficiency of 33.9 cd/A, and a high value of 9.4% for external quantum efficiency at a high brightness of 1000 cd/m2, which is required for lighting applications. These characteristics were obtained in non-optimized PhOLEDs under an ordinary laboratory atmosphere and could be improved in the optimization process. The results demonstrate that some of the new host materials are very promising components for the development of efficient phosphorescent devices.

High-Efficiency Sky Blue-To-Green Fluorescent Emitters Based on 3-Pyridinecarbonitrile Derivatives.

Project description:The pyridinecarbonitrile derivative is well known as an acceptor unit in fluorescent materials. However, its use in thermally activated delayed fluorescent (TADF) emitters is very limited compared with its benzenecarbonitrile counterparts. Very recently, we developed a series of 4-pyridinecarbonitrile, so-called isonicotinonitrile derivatives, as a highly efficient sky blue-to-green TADF emitters realizing low-drive-voltage organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). In this work, we contributed new design and development for three 3-pyridinecarbonitrile-based TADF emitters named 2AcNN, 2PXZNN, and 5PXZNN. Among these emitters, a sky blue emitter, 2AcNN, showed a maximum external quantum efficiency (η ext,max) of 12% with CIE (0.19, 0.36). While green emitters, 5PXZNN and 2PXZNN, realized highly efficient TADF OLEDs with a η ext,max of 16-20%. Introduction of electron-donor moiety into the 2-position of 3-pyridinecarbonitrile contributes a larger overlapping of frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) and stronger intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) interaction generating efficient TADF emitters.

Electroplex as a New Concept of Universal Host for Improved Efficiency and Lifetime in Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue Phosphorescent Organic Light-Emitting Diodes.

Project description:A new concept of host, electroplex host, is developed for high efficiency and long lifetime phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes by mixing two host materials generating an electroplex under an electric field. A carbazole-type host and a triazine-type host are selected as the host materials to form the electroplex host. The electroplex host is found to induce light emission through an energy transfer process rather than charge trapping, and universally improves the lifetime of red, yellow, green, and blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes by more than four times. Furthermore, the electroplex host shows much longer lifetime than a common exciplex host. This is the first demonstration of using the electroplex as the host of high efficiency and long lifetime phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes.

Acridine Based Small Molecular Hole Transport Type Materials for Phosphorescent OLED Application.

Project description:Two small molecular hole-transporting type materials, namely 4-(9,9-dimethylacridin-10(9H)-yl)-N-(4-(9,9-dimethylacridin-10(9H)-yl)phenyl)-N-phenylaniline (TPA-2ACR) and 10,10'-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazole-3,6-diyl)bis(9,9-dimethyl-9,10-dihydroacridine) (PhCAR-2ACR), were designed and synthesized using a single-step Buchwald-Hartwig amination between the dimethyl acridine and triphenylamine or carbazole moieties. Both materials showed high thermal decomposition temperatures of 402 and 422 °C at 5% weight reduction for PhCAR-2ACR and TPA-2ACR, respectively. TPA-2ACR as hole-transporting material exhibited excellent current, power, and external quantum efficiencies of 55.74 cd/A, 29.28 lm/W and 21.59%, respectively. The achieved device efficiencies are much better than that of the referenced similar, 1,1-Bis[(di-4-tolylamino)phenyl]cyclohexane (TAPC)-based device (32.53 cd/A, 18.58 lm/W and 10.6%). Moreover, phenyl carbazole-based PhCAR-2ACR showed good device characteristics when applied for host material in phosphorescent OLEDs.

Highly phosphorescent platinum(ii) emitters: photophysics, materials and biological applications.

Project description:In recent years a blossoming interest in the synthesis, photophysics and application of phosphorescent Pt(ii) complexes, particularly on their uses in bioimaging, photocatalysis and phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), has been witnessed. The superior performance of phosphorescent Pt(ii) complexes in these applications is linked to their diverse spectroscopic and photophysical properties, which can be systematically modulated by appropriate choices of auxiliary ligands. Meanwhile, an important criterion for the practical application of phosphorescent metal complexes is their stability which is crucial for biological utilization and industrial OLED applications. Taking both the luminescence properties and stability into consideration, chelating ligands having rigid scaffolds and with strong σ-donor atoms are advantageous for the construction of highly robust phosphorescent Pt(ii) complexes. The square-planar coordination geometry endows Pt(ii) complexes with the intriguing spectroscopic and photophysical properties associated with their intermolecular interactions in both the ground and excited states. In this article, we discuss the design and synthesis of phosphorescent Pt(ii) complexes with elaboration on the effects of ligands on the structure and luminescence properties. Based on their photophysical and emission properties, we intend to shed light on the great promise of highly robust phosphorescent Pt(ii) emitters in an array of applications from molecular materials to biosensors.

Oxadiazole derivatives as bipolar host materials for high-performance blue and green phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes.

Project description:By combining two n-type groups, pyridine and oxadiazole, with one p-type carbazole group, two novel bipolar hosts, namely 2-(3-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl)-5-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PyOxd-mCz) and 2-(4'-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl)-5-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PyOxd-pCz) have been developed as hosts for blue and green phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PhOLEDs). The two compounds exhibit similar HOMO levels of -5.64 eV for PyOxd-mCz and -5.63 eV for PyOxd-pCz and the same LUMO level of -2.60 eV. With a more twisted configuration due to meta connections, PyOxd-mCz possesses a higher triplet energy level (E T = 2.77 eV) and more balanced carrier transport than PyOxd-pCz (E T = 2.60 eV). PyOxd-mCz hosted devices achieve a peak current efficiency of 39.7 cd A-1 and a maximum EQE of 20.8% with a low turn-on voltage of 3.5 V for FIrpic and 55.2 cd A-1 and 16.4% for Ir(ppy)3. Apart from the appropriate frontier molecular orbital levels and sufficiently high triplet energy of PyOxd-mCz, the more balanced carrier transport plays a key role for excellent device performance.

The Blue Problem: OLED Stability and Degradation Mechanisms.

Project description:OLED technology has revolutionized the display industry and is promising for lighting. Despite its maturity, there remain outstanding device and materials challenges to address. Particularly, achieving stable and highly efficient blue OLEDs is still proving to be difficult; the vast array of degradation mechanisms at play, coupled with the precise balance of device parameters needed for blue high-performance OLEDs, creates a unique set of challenges in the quest for a suitably stable yet high-performance device. Here, we discuss recent progress in the understanding of device degradation pathways and provide an overview of possible strategies to increase device lifetimes without a significant efficiency trade-off. Only careful consideration of all variables that go into OLED development, from the choice of materials to a deep understanding of which degradation mechanisms need to be suppressed for the particular structure, can lead to a meaningful positive change toward commercializable blue devices.

Photodegradation of Biohazardous Dye Brilliant Blue R Using Organometallic Silver Nanoparticles Synthesized through a Green Chemistry Method.

Project description:Nowadays, nanostructures having tremendous chemical and physical properties are gaining attention in the biomedical industry. However, when they are prepared through classical methods (physical and chemical), they are often non-biocompatible and toxic. Considering the mentioned factors, in this research, organometallic silver nanostructures (OMAgNs) have been prepared by the green chemistry method using the acetone, methanol, and methanol-hexane-based extracts of the medicinally important plant Cichorium intybus. Secondary metabolites from C. intybus can be used as an alternative to synthetic reagents at an industrial scale to manufacture biosafe and economical nanostructures with enhanced physicochemical parameters. Prepared nanostructures were characterized using SEM, XRD, FTIR, TGA, UV, and zeta potential measurement. SEM analysis revealed different shapes of OMAgNs, prepared with various extracts. XRD analysis showed the crystallinity of the nanostructures. FTIR spectroscopy helped to identify groups of compounds present in the extracts and used for the OMAgNs synthesis. Out of the three tested OMAgNs, those prepared with methanol extract were selected due to the highest obtained yield and stability (highest negative zeta potential) and were tested as a cost-efficient and active agent to photodegrade organic pollutant, Brilliant Blue R, using energy from sunlight. A decrease in UV-VIS absorbance confirmed the rapid degradation of the dye.

Traversing the Red-Green-Blue Color Spectrum in Rationally Designed Cupredoxins.

Project description:Blue copper proteins have a constrained Cu(II) geometry that has proven difficult to recapitulate outside native cupredoxin folds. Previous work has successfully designed green copper proteins which could be tuned blue using exogenous ligands, but the question of how one can create a self-contained blue copper site within a de novo scaffold, especially one removed from a cupredoxin fold, remained. We have recently reported a red copper protein site within a three helical bundle scaffold which we later revisited and determined to be a nitrosocyanin mimic, with a CuHis2CysGlu binding site. We now report efforts to rationally design this construct toward either green or blue copper chromophores using mutation strategies that have proven successful in native cupredoxins. By rotating the metal binding site, we created a de novo green copper protein. This in turn was converted to a blue copper protein by removing an axial methionine. Following this rational sequence, we have successfully created red, green, and blue copper proteins within an alpha helical fold, enabling comparisons for the first time of their structure and function disconnected from the overall cupredoxin fold.
