Abstract

Although organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) have been commercialized for display applications, electron-injection layers (EILs) still rely on alkali metals or their compounds to lower driving voltages, and hence reactivity with atmospheric moisture is a primary concern, especially in flexible devices. As an alternative strategy, combining electron transport materials (ETMs) based on 1,10-phenanthroline (Phen) derivatives with silver (Phen/Ag) has attracted much attention for developing air-stable EILs. However, most studies have focused on Phen derivatives. Herein, we developed a non-Phen ETM named DPmPy-BP based on a 2,6-di(pyrimidin-2-yl)pyridine skeleton. Combined with Ag (DPmPy-BP/Ag) as a potentially air-stable EIL, this ETM exhibited superior electron-injection properties and remarkable stability in preliminary green phosphorescent OLEDs achieving a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 20% and an operational lifetime (LT50) of approximately 17 000 hours at 1000 cd m−2, which surpass those of Phen/Ag devices and are comparable to devices using a conventional alkali metal compound 8-hydroxyquinolinolato-lithium (Liq) as the EIL (DPmPy-BP/Liq).

一种嘧啶末端电子传输材料与银相互作用,改善了oled中的电子注入和长期稳定性
虽然有机发光器件(oled)已经商业化用于显示应用,但电子注入层(EILs)仍然依赖碱金属或其化合物来降低驱动电压,因此与大气湿度的反应性是一个主要问题,特别是在柔性器件中。以1,10-菲罗啉(Phen)衍生物为基础的电子传输材料(etm)与银(Phen/Ag)相结合是开发空气稳定电子传输材料的一种替代策略。然而,大多数研究都集中在苯的衍生物上。在此,我们基于2,6-二(嘧啶-2-基)吡啶骨架开发了一种名为DPmPy-BP的非苯基ETM。与Ag (DPmPy-BP/Ag)结合作为潜在的空气稳定EIL,该ETM在初步的绿色磷光oled中表现出优异的电子注入性能和显著的稳定性,在1000 cd m−2下实现了20%的最大外量子效率(EQE)和约17000小时的工作寿命(LT50)。超过了Phen/Ag器件,与使用传统碱金属化合物8-羟基喹啉-锂(Liq)作为EIL的器件(DPmPy-BP/Liq)相当。
