Star-Shaped Boron-Containing Asymmetric Host Materials for Solution-Processable Phosphorescent Organic Light-Emitting Diodes.

ABSTRACT: Boron-containing compounds have attracted considerable attention because of their electron-accepting properties, and they are widely used in a variety of fields. However, due to the essential requirement to protect the empty pz-orbital of the boron atom using large steric hindrance or rigid groups, borane derivatives generally show poor solubility and are rarely reported as acceptor units to construct bipolar host materials for phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PhOLEDs). Here, a combined star-shaped and asymmetric donor-acceptor molecular design strategy to improve the solubility and fine tune the optical and electronic properties of boron-containing materials is presented. High thermal stability, solvent solubility, solution processability, and triplet energy are achieved simultaneously. With the thus-designed boron-containing bipolar molecules as host materials, the solution-processed PhOLEDs exhibit high device performances, which are comparable to the vacuum-processed counterparts, showing high external quantum efficiencies up to 18.5% and 14.5% in blue and white PhOLEDs, respectively. These results demonstrate the great potential of the star-shaped and symmetry-breaking borane derivatives in solution-processable organic optoelectronic devices.

Phosphine Sulfide-Based Bipolar Host Materials for Blue Phosphorescent Organic Light-Emitting Diodes.

Project description:Three phosphine sulfide-based bipolar host materials, vizCzPhPS, DCzPhPS, and TCzPhPS, were facilely prepared through a one-pot synthesis in excellent yields. The developed hosts exhibit superior thermal stabilities with the decomposition temperatures (Td) all exceeding 350 °C and the melting temperatures (Tm) over 200 °C. In addition, their triplet energy (ET) levels are estimated to be higher than 3.0 eV, illustrating that they are applicable to serve as hosts for blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PhOLEDs). The maxima luminance, current efficiency (CE), power efficiency (PE), and external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 17,223 cd m-2, 36.7 cd A-1, 37.5 lm W-1, and 17.5% are achieved for the blue PhOLEDs hosted by CzPhPS. The PhOLEDs based on DCzPhPS and TCzPhPS show inferior device performance than that of CzPhPS, which might be ascribed to the deteriorated charge transporting balance as the increased number of the constructed carbazole units in DCzPhPS and TCzPhPS molecules would enhance the hole-transporting ability of the devices to a large extent. Our study demonstrates that the bipolar hosts derived from phosphine sulfide have enormous potential applications in blue PhOLEDs, and the quantity of donors should be well controlled to exploit highly efficient phosphine sulfide-based hosts.

Dual-functional quantum-dots light emitting diodes based on solution processable vanadium oxide hole injection layer.

Project description:Dual-functional quantum-dots light emitting diodes (QLEDs) have been fabricated using solution processable vanadium oxide (V2O5) hole injection layer to control the carrier transport behavior. The device shows selectable functionalities of photo-detecting and light-emitting behaviors according to the different operating voltage conditions. The device emitted a bright green light at the wavelength of 536 nm, and with the maximum luminance of 31,668 cd/m2 in a forward bias of 8.6 V. Meanwhile, the device could operate as a photodetector in a reverse bias condition. The device was perfectly turned off in a reverse bias, while an increase of photocurrent was observed during the illumination of 520 nm wavelength light on the device. The interfacial electronic structure of the device prepared with different concentration V2O5 solution was measured in detail using x-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. Both the highest occupied molecular orbital and the gap state levels were moved closer to the Fermi level, according to increase the concentration of V2O5 solution. The change of gap state position enables to fabricate a dual-functional QLEDs. Therefore, the device could operate both as a photodetector and as a light-emitting diode with different applied bias. The result suggests that QLEDs can be used as a photosensor and as a light-emitting diode for the future display industry.

Solution-Processed Phosphorescent Organic Light-Emitting Diodes with Ultralow Driving Voltage and Very High Power Efficiency.

Project description:To realize power efficient solution-processed phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (s-PhOLEDs), the corresponding high driving voltage issue should be well solved. To solve it, efforts have been devoted to the exploitation of novel host or interfacial materials. However, the issues of charge trapping of phosphor and/or charge injection barrier are still serious, largely restraining the power efficiency (PE) levels. Herein, with the utilization of an exciplex-forming couple 4, 4', 4″-tris[3-methylphenyl(phenyl)amino]triphenylamine (m-MTDATA) and 1,3,5-tri(m-pyrid-3-yl-phenyl)benzene (TmPyPB), the efficient charge injection and transporting, barrier-free hole-electron recombination for the formation of the interfacial exciplex, and elimination of charge traps of phosphors in the emissive layer are realized simultaneously, resulting in a turn-on voltage of 2.36 V, a record high PE of 97.2 lm W(-1), as well as extremely low driving voltage of 2.60 V at 100 cd m(-2), 3.03 V at 1000 cd m(-2) and 4.08 V at 10000 cd m(-2). This report is the first time that the PE performance of s-PhOLED approaches 100 lm W(-1) high level, even superior to the corresponding state-of-the-art performance of the same color vacuum-deposited PhOLED (v-PhOLED) counterpart. We anticipate this report opens a new avenue for achieving power efficient monochromatic and white s-PhOLEDs with simple structures.

Double boron-embedded multiresonant thermally activated delayed fluorescent materials for organic light-emitting diodes.

Project description:The subclass of multi resonant thermally activated delayed fluorescent emitters (MR-TADF) containing boron atoms has garnered significant attention in the field of organic light emitting diode (OLED) research. Among boron-based MR-TADF emitters, double boron-embedded MR-TADF (DB-MR-TADF) emitters show excellent electroluminescence performances with high photoluminescence quantum yields, narrow band emission, and beneficially small singlet-triplet energy levels in all the full-color gamut regions. This article reviews recent progress in DB-MR-TADF emitters, with particular attention to molecular design concepts, synthetic routes, optoelectronic properties, and OLED performance, giving future prospects for real-world applications.

Blue Emitting Star-Shaped and Octasilsesquioxane-Based Polyanions Bearing Boron Clusters. Photophysical and Thermal Properties.

Project description:High boron content systems were prepared by the peripheral functionalisation of 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene (TPB) and octavinylsilsesquioxane (OVS) with two different anionic boron clusters: closo-dodecaborate (B12) and cobaltabisdicarbollide (COSAN). TPB was successfully decorated with three cluster units by an oxonium ring-opening reaction, while OVS was bonded to eight clusters by catalysed metathesis cross-coupling. The resulting compounds were spectroscopically characterised, and their solution-state photophysical properties analysed. For TPB, the presence of COSAN dramatically quenches the fluorescence emission (?em = 369 nm; ?F = 0.8%), while B12-substituted TPB shows an appreciable emission efficiency (?em = 394 nm; ?F = 12.8%). For octasilsesquioxanes, the presence of either COSAN or B12 seems to be responsible for ?80 nm bathochromic shift with respect to the core emission, but both cases show low emission fluorescence (?F = 1.4-1.8%). In addition, a remarkable improvement of the thermal stability of OVS was observed after its functionalisation with these boron clusters.

Rational design of quinoxaline-based bipolar host materials for highly efficient red phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes.

Project description:Two novel bipolar carbazole/diphenylquinoxaline-based host materials 3-(2,3-diphenylquinoxalin-6-yl)-9-phenyl-9H-carbazole (M1) and 3-(4-(2,3-diphenylquinoxalin-6-yl)phenyl)-9-phenyl-9H-carbazole (M2) have been rationally designed and synthesized. The phenyl spacer between the functionalized quinoxaline moiety and the carbazole moiety is also introduced to investigate its influence on their photophysical properties. The chemical structures, and thermal, photophysical and electrochemical properties of the two host materials were characterized and explored in detail. Red phosphorescent light-emitting diodes with M1 and M2 as hosts were prepared to explore their electroluminescent properties. Both M1 and M2 host-based red devices exhibit outstanding electroluminescent performance. For example, two red devices all realize good red emission with the maximum at 594 nm, the maximum external quantum efficiency and luminance can reach 14.66% and 28 619 cd m-2 for M1-based devices and 15.07% and 28 818 cd m-2 for M2-based devices, indicating compounds M1 and M2 designed in this work have potential applications in the development of high-performance monochrome and white OLEDs.

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.

Pure Hydrocarbon Materials as Highly Efficient Host for White Phosphorescent Organic Light-Emitting Diodes: A New Molecular Design Approach.

Project description:To date, all efficient host materials reported for phosphorescent OLEDs (PhOLEDs) are constructed with heteroatoms, which have a crucial role in the device performance. However, it has been shown in recent years that the heteroatoms not only increase the design complexity but can also be involved in the instability of the PhOLED, which is nowadays the most important obstacle to overcome. Herein, we design pure aromatic hydrocarbon materials (PHC) as very efficient hosts in high-performance white and blue PhOLEDs. With EQE of 27.7 %, the PHC-based white PhOLEDs display similar efficiency as the best reported with heteroatom-based hosts. Incorporated as a host in a blue PhOLED, which are still the weakest links of the technology, a very high EQE of 25.6 % is reached, surpassing, for the first time, the barrier of 25 % for a PHC and FIrpic blue emitter. This performance shows that the PHC strategy represents an effective alternative for the future development of the OLED industry.

Development of Blue Phosphorescent Pt(II) Materials Using Dibenzofuranyl Imidazole Ligands and Their Application in Organic Light-Emitting Diodes.

Project description:Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are energy-efficient; however, the coordinating ligand can affect their stability. Sky-blue phosphorescent Pt(II) compounds with a C^N chelate, fluorinated-dbi (dbi = [1-(2,4-diisopropyldibenzo [b,d]furan-3-yl)-2-phenyl-1H-imidazole]), and acetylactonate (acac) (1)/picolinate (pic) (2) ancillary ligands were synthesized. The molecular structures were characterized using various spectroscopic methods. The Pt(II) Compound Two exhibited a distorted square planar geometry, with several intra- and inter-molecular interactions involving Cπ⋯H/Cπ⋯Cπ stacking. Complex One emitted bright sky-blue light (λmax = 485 nm) with a moderate photoluminescent quantum efficiency (PLQY) of 0.37 and short decay time (6.1 µs) compared to those of 2. Theoretical calculations suggested that the electronic transition of 1 arose from ligand(C^N)-centered π-π* transitions combined with metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT), whereas that of 2 arose from MLCT and ligand(C^N)-to-ligand(pic) charge-transfer (LLCT), with minimal contribution from C^N chelate to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO). Multi-layered phosphorescent OLEDs using One as a dopant and a mixed host, mCBP/CNmCBPCN, were successfully fabricated. At a 10% doping concentration of 1, a current efficiency of 13.6 cdA-1 and external quantum efficiency of 8.4% at 100 cdm-2 were achieved. These results show that the ancillary ligand in phosphorescent Pt(II) complexes must be considered.
