Efficient light emission from inorganic and organic semiconductor hybrid structures by energy-level tuning.

ABSTRACT: The fundamental limits of inorganic semiconductors for light emitting applications, such as holographic displays, biomedical imaging and ultrafast data processing and communication, might be overcome by hybridization with their organic counterparts, which feature enhanced frequency response and colour range. Innovative hybrid inorganic/organic structures exploit efficient electrical injection and high excitation density of inorganic semiconductors and subsequent energy transfer to the organic semiconductor, provided that the radiative emission yield is high. An inherent obstacle to that end is the unfavourable energy level offset at hybrid inorganic/organic structures, which rather facilitates charge transfer that quenches light emission. Here, we introduce a technologically relevant method to optimize the hybrid structure's energy levels, here comprising ZnO and a tailored ladder-type oligophenylene. The ZnO work function is substantially lowered with an organometallic donor monolayer, aligning the frontier levels of the inorganic and organic semiconductors. This increases the hybrid structure's radiative emission yield sevenfold, validating the relevance of our approach.

Efficient and chromaticity stable green and white organic light-emitting devices with organic-inorganic hybrid materials.

Project description:Efficient inverted bottom emissive organic light emitting diodes (IBOLEDs) with tin dioxide and/or Cd-doped SnO2 nanoparticles as an electron injection layer at the indium tin oxide cathode:electron transport layer interface have been fabricated. The SnO2 NPs promote electron injection efficiently because their conduction band (-3.6 eV) lies between the work function (W f) of ITO (4.8 eV) and the LUMO of the electron-transporting molecule (-3.32 eV), leading to enhanced efficiency at low voltage. The 2.0% SnO2 NPs (25 nm) with Ir(ddsi)2(acac) emissive material (SnO2 NPs/ITO) have an enhanced current efficiency (η c, cd A-1) of 52.3/24.3, power efficiency (η p, lm W-1) of 10.9/3.4, external quantum efficiency (η ex, %) of 16.4/7.5 and luminance (L, cd m-2) of 28 182/1982. A device with a 2.0% Cd-doped SnO2 layer shows higher η c (60.6 cd A-1), η p (15.4 lm W-1), η ex (18.3%) and L (26 858 cd m-2) than SnO2 devices or control devices. White light emission was harvested from a mixture of Cd-SnO2 NPs and homoleptic blue phosphor Ir(tsi)3; the combination of blue emission (λ EL = 428 nm) from Ir(tsi)3 and defect emission from Cd-SnO2 NPs (λ EL = 568 nm) gives an intense white light with CIE of (0.31, 0.30) and CCT of 6961 K. The white light emission [CIE of (0.34, 0.35) and CCT of 5188 K] from colloid hybrid electrolyte BMIMBF4-SnO2 is also discussed.

Broadband Emission in Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Halides of Group 12 Metals.

Project description:We report syntheses, crystal and electronic structures, and characterization of three new hybrid organic-inorganic halides (R)ZnBr3(DMSO), (R)2CdBr4·DMSO, and (R)CdI3(DMSO) (where (R) = C6(CH3)5CH2N(CH3)3, and DMSO = dimethyl sulfoxide). The compounds can be conveniently prepared as single crystals and bulk polycrystalline powders using a DMSO-methanol solvent system. On the basis of the single-crystal X-ray diffraction results carried out at room temperature and 100 K, all compounds have zero-dimensional (0D) crystal structures featuring alternating layers of bulky organic cations and molecular inorganic anions based on a tetrahedral coordination around group 12 metal cations. The presence of discrete molecular building blocks in the 0D structures results in localized charges and tunable room-temperature light emission, including white light for (R)ZnBr3(DMSO), bluish-white light for (R)2CdBr4·DMSO, and green for (R)CdI3(DMSO). The highest photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) value of 3.07% was measured for (R)ZnBr3(DMSO), which emits cold white light based on the calculated correlated color temperature (CCT) of 11,044 K. All compounds exhibit fast photoluminescence lifetimes on the timescale of tens of nanoseconds, consistent with the fast luminescence decay observed in π-conjugated organic molecules. Temperature dependence photoluminescence study showed the appearance of additional peaks around 550 nm, resulting from the organic salt emission. Density functional theory calculations show that the incorporation of both the low-gap aromatic molecule R and the relatively electropositive Zn and Cd metals can lead to exciton localization at the aromatic molecular cations, which act as luminescence centers.

Pressure-Induced Broadband Emission of 2D Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Perovskite (C6H5C2H4NH3)2PbBr4.

Project description:2D Ruddlesden-Popper halide perovskites, which incorporate hydrophobic organic interlayers to considerably improve environmental stability and optical properties diversity, have attracted substantial research attention for optoelectronic applications. The burgeoning broad emission arising from exciton self-trapping of 2D perovskites shows a strong dependence on a deformable structure. Here, the pressure-induced broadband emission of layered (001) Pb-Br perovskite with a large Stokes shift in the visible region is observed by finely improving lattice distortion to increase exciton-phonon coupling under hydrostatic pressure. Band gap narrows ≈0.5 eV under modest pressure, mainly due to the large compressibility of the orientational organic layer, confirming that the bulky organic cations notably influence the structure and, in turn, the various properties of materials. Sequential amorphization of the organic and inorganic layer is confirmed by high pressure Raman and X-ray diffraction measurements, suggesting the particularity of layered crystal structures. The mechanism constructed here offers a new route for tuning the optical properties of 2D perovskites.

An Emerging Visible-Light Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Perovskite for Photocatalytic Applications.

Project description:The development of visible-light active photocatalysts is a current challenge especially energy and environmental-related fields. Herein, methylammonium lead iodide perovskite (MAIPb) was chosen as the novel semiconductor material for its ability of absorbing visible-light. An easily reproducible and efficient method was employed to synthesize the as-mentioned material. The sample was characterized by various techniques and has been used as visible-light photocatalyst for degradation of two model pollutants: rhodamine B (RhB) and methylene-blue (MB). The photo-degradation of RhB was found to achieve about 65% after 180 min of treatment. Moreover, the efficiency was enhanced to 100% by assisting the process with a small amount of H2O2. The visible-light activity of the photocatalyst was attributed to its ability to absorb light as well as to enhance separation of photogenerated carriers. The main outcome of the present work is the investigation of a hybrid perovskite as photocatalyst for wastewater treatment.

Aggregation-induced emission from silole-based lumophores embedded in organic-inorganic hybrid hosts.

Project description:Aggregation-induced emitters - or AIEgens - are often symbolised by their photoluminescence enhancement as a result of aggregation in a poor solvent. However, for some applications, it is preferable for the AIE response to be induced in the solid-state. Here, the ability of an organic-inorganic hybrid polymer host to induce the AIE response from embedded silole-based lumophores has been explored. We have focussed on understanding how the incorporation method controls the extent of lumophore aggregation and thus the associated photophysical properties. To achieve this, two sample concentration series have been prepared, based on either the parent AIEgen 1,1-dimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetraphenylsilole (DMTPS) or the silylated analogue (DMTPS-Sil), which were physically doped or covalently grafted, respectively, to dU(600) - a member of the ureasil family of poly(oxyalkylene)/siloxane hybrids. Steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements, coupled with confocal microscopy studies, revealed that covalent grafting leads to improved dispersibility of the AIEgen, reduced scattering losses, increased photoluminescence quantum yields (up to ca. 40%) and improved chemical stability. Moreover, the ureasil also functions as a photoactive host that undergoes excitation energy transfer to the embedded DMTPS-Sil with an efficiency of almost 70%. This study highlights the potential for designing complex photoluminescent hybrid polymers exhibiting an ehanced AIE response for solid-state optical applications.

An efficient organic and inorganic hybrid interlayer for high performance inverted red cadmium-free quantum dot light-emitting diodes.

Project description:The efficiency and device lifetime of quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED) devices suffer from the charge imbalance issue resulting from excess electron injection from the ZnO electron transport layer (ETL) to the quantum dot (QD) emissive layer (EML). Herein we report 1,3-bis(9-phenyl-1,10-phenanthrolin-2-yl)benzene (BPPB) small molecule ETL blended ZnO as an interlayer in inverted red indium phosphide (InP) based QLEDs to slow down the ZnO ETL mobility. The device with ZnO : BPPB (15 wt%) shows 16.7% external quantum efficiency and 595 h lifetime (T 50) at 1000 cd m-2. Insertion of a thin hybrid interlayer reduces the electron injection to match the charge balance in the QD layer and also suppresses the interfacial exciton quenching between the ZnO ETL and QD EML.

Toward three-dimensional hybrid inorganic/organic optoelectronics based on GaN/oCVD-PEDOT structures.

Project description:The combination of inorganic semiconductors with organic thin films promises new strategies for the realization of complex hybrid optoelectronic devices. Oxidative chemical vapor deposition (oCVD) of conductive polymers offers a flexible and scalable path towards high-quality three-dimensional inorganic/organic optoelectronic structures. Here, hole-conductive poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) grown by oxidative chemical vapor deposition is used to fabricate transparent and conformal wrap-around p-type contacts on three-dimensional microLEDs with large aspect ratios, a yet unsolved challenge in three-dimensional gallium nitride technology. The electrical characteristics of two-dimensional reference structures confirm the quasi-metallic state of the polymer, show high rectification ratios, and exhibit excellent thermal and temporal stability. We analyze the electroluminescence from a three-dimensional hybrid microrod/polymer LED array and demonstrate its improved optical properties compared with a purely inorganic microrod LED. The findings highlight a way towards the fabrication of hybrid three-dimensional optoelectronics on the sub-micron scale.

Polarized white light from hybrid organic/III-nitrides grating structures.

Project description:Highly polarised white light emission from a hybrid organic/inorganic device has been achieved. The hybrid devices are fabricated by means of combining blue InGaN-based multiple quantum wells (MQWs) with a one-dimensional (1D) grating structure and down-conversion F8BT yellow light emitting polymer. The 1D grating structure converts the blue emission from unpolarised to highly polarised; Highly polarised yellow emission has been achieved from the F8BT polymer filled and aligned along the periodic nano-channels of the grating structure as a result of enhanced nano-confinement. Optical polarization measurements show that our device demonstrates a polarization degree of up to 43% for the smallest nano-channel width. Furthermore, the hybrid device with such a grating structure allows us to achieve an optimum relative orientation between the dipoles in the donor (i.e., InGaN/GaN MQWs) and the diploes in the acceptor (i.e., the F8BT), maximizing the efficiency of non-radiative energy transfer (NRET) between the donor and the acceptor. Time-resolved micro photoluminescence measurements show a 2.5 times enhancement in the NRET efficiency, giving a maximal NRET efficiency of 90%. It is worth highlighting that the approach developed paves the way for the fabrication of highly polarized white light emitters.

Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Cuprous-Based Metal Halides for Warm White Light-Emitting Diodes.

Project description:Single-component emitters with stable and bright warm white-light emission are highly desirable for high-efficacy warm white light-emitting diodes (warm-WLEDs), however, materials with such luminescence properties are extremely rare. Low-dimensional lead (Pb) halide perovskites can achieve warm white photoluminescence (PL), yet they suffer from low stability and PL quantum yield (PLQY). While Pb-free air-stable perovskites such as Cs2 AgInCl6 emit desirable warm white light, sophisticated doping strategies are typically required to increase their PL intensity. Moreover, the use of rare metal-bearing compounds along with the typically required vacuum-based thin-film processing may greatly increase their production cost. Herein, organic-inorganic hybrid cuprous (Cu+ )-based metal halide MA2 CuCl3 (MA = CH3 NH3 + ) that meets the requirements of i) nontoxicity, ii) high PLQY, and iii) dopant-free is presented. Both single crystals and thin films of MA2 CuCl3 can be facilely prepared by a low-cost solution method, which demonstrate bright warm white-light emission with intrinsically high PLQYs of 90-97%. Prototype electroluminescence devices and down-conversion LEDs are fabricated with MA2 CuCl3 thin films and single crystals, respectively, which show bright luminescence with decent efficiencies and operational stability. These findings suggest that MA2 CuCl3 has a great potential for the single-component indoor lighting and display applications.
