Abstract
Effective p-type doping is essential to enhance hole transport and balance electron–hole injection in quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs). Here, an oligothiophene material is adopted as a p-type dopant in the hole-transport layer, considering its cruciform cross-center structure, precise molecular weight, and high purity. Compared with the dopant-free counterpart, hole transport capability at the optimal doping level exhibits a significant improvement, producing a boosted external quantum efficiency (EQE) and luminance up to 20.8%, 213 439 cd m–2, respectively, among the highest reported on the red-light emission. The work indicates the potential applications of oligothiophene material in red light-emitting devices.
有效的p型掺杂是增强量子点发光二极管空穴输运和平衡电子-空穴注入的关键。考虑到其十字交叉中心结构、精确的分子量和高纯度,本文在空穴输运层中采用了一种寡硫吩材料作为p型掺杂剂。与无掺杂相比,最优掺杂水平下的空穴输运能力有了显著提高,外量子效率(EQE)和亮度分别提高了20.8% (213 439 cd m-2),是红光发射中最高的。研究结果表明,低聚噻吩材料在红光发光器件中的应用前景广阔。
