研究目的
To improve the performance of quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QD-LEDs) by integrating multiple poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) electron-blocking layers (EBL) to reduce electron leakage and enhance electron confinement.
研究成果
The integration of multiple PMMA EBLs in QD-LEDs significantly improves device performance by reducing electron leakage and enhancing electron confinement. The optimal structure consists of two PMMA layers and three QD layers, achieving a current efficiency of 17.8 cd A?1 and a luminance of 194 038 cd m?2. Numerical simulations confirmed the experimental findings, showing increased electron concentration and radiative recombination rates in the presence of PMMA EBLs.
研究不足
The study is limited by the insulating effect of PMMA layers when more than two are used, which can reduce device performance. Additionally, the spin-coating technique may introduce variations in layer thickness and surface properties.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the fabrication of QD-LEDs with varying numbers of PMMA EBLs sandwiched between QD layers. The performance of these devices was systematically optimized and compared. Numerical simulations using APSYS software were conducted to analyze the impact of PMMA layers on electron leakage and radiative recombination rates.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Red-emitting CdSe/ZnS QDs were used as the active layer. Devices with and without PMMA layers were fabricated and characterized.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Materials included CdSe/ZnS QDs, PMMA, PEDOT:PSS, PVK, ZnO nanoparticles, and Ag for the cathode. Equipment included a Keithley 2400 source-meter, UV–vis spectrometer, fluorescence spectrometer, and AFM.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Devices were fabricated by spin-coating layers of PEDOT:PSS, PVK, QDs, PMMA, and ZnO nanoparticles onto ITO substrates, followed by thermal evaporation of Ag electrodes. Device performance was measured in terms of current density, luminance, and electroluminescent spectra.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Performance parameters such as current efficiency, power efficiency, and luminance were compared across devices. Numerical simulations provided insights into electron concentration and radiative recombination rates.
