However, fabrication of large-area organic micro-/nanocrystal arrays with consistent crystal growth direction has posed a significant technical challenge. Here, we describe a solution-processed dip-coating technique to grow large-area, aligned 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl) anthracene(BPEA) and 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl) pentacene(TIPSPEN) single-crystalline nanoribbon arrays. The method is scalable to a 5 9 10 cm^2 wafer substrate, with around 60% of the wafer surface covered by aligned crystals. The quality of crystals can be easily controlled by tuning the dip-coating speed. Furthermore, OFETs based on well-aligned BPEA and TIPS-PEN single-crystalline nanoribbons were constructed.By optimizing channel lengths and using appropriate metallic electrodes, the BPEA and TIPS-PEN-based OFETs showed hole mobility exceeding 2.0 cm^2V^(-1)s^(-1)(average mobility 1.2 cm^2V^(-1)s^(-1)) and 3.0 cm^2V^(-1)s^(-1)(average mobility2.0 cm^2V^(-1)s^(-1)), respectively. They both have a high on/off ratio(I_(on)/I_(off))>10~9. The performance can well satisfy the requirements for light-emitting diodes driving.展开更多

The crystal phase of Sr2SiO4:xEu^2+ phosphor manipulated by Eu^2+ concentration was studied. The phase transited from β to α' in Sr2SiO4:xEu^2+ phosphor with increasing europium concentration. The single β phase was formed as x≤005 and changed α' phase when x〉0.01. The emission spectrum of the β-Sr2SiO4:Eu^2+ phosphor consisted of a green-yellow broadband peaking at around 540 nm and a blue band at 470 nm under near ultraviolet excitation. The white LEDs by combining near ultraviolet chips with β-Sr2SiO4:Eu^2+ phosphors were fabricated. The luminous efficiency (15.7lm/W) was higher than α'-Sr2SiO4:Eu^2+ phosphor white LED.展开更多

The n-type ZnO epilayer is deposited by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on a MOCVD grown Mg-doped p-GaN layer to form a p-n heterojunction. During the etching process, the relation between the etching depth and the etching time is linear in a HF and NH4 CI solution of a certain ratio. The etching rates of the SiO2 and ZnO are well controlled,which are essential for device fabrication. The current-voltage relationship of this heterojunction shows a diode-like rectifying behavior. In contrast to previous reports,electroluminescence (EL) emissions are observed by the naked eye at room temperature from the n-ZnO/p-GaN heterojunction under forward-and reverse-bias. The origins of these EL emissions are discussed in comparison with the pho- toluminescence spectra.展开更多

With temperature increasing, it was noted that the emission intensity of as-repared phosphors decreased considerably more rapidly when pumped by 460 nm than by 340 nm. The temperature-intensity curves under different excitation wavelengths were obtained using an Arrhenius function, and the corresponding activation energies were also obtained respectively. Thus, the experimental phenomenon was discussed in terms of nonradiative decay rate. The effects of as-prepared phosphors on the performance of the white LED with changing temperature were also studied.展开更多

文摘Triphenylamine(TPA)is the most promising donor fragment for the construction of long-wavelength thermally activated delayed fluorescence(TADF)emitters owing to its suitable dihedral angle that could enhance radiative decay to compete with the serious non-radiative decay.However,the moderate electron-donating capacity of TPA seriously limits the selection of acceptor for constructing longwavelength TADF emitters with narrow bandgaps.To address this issue,in this work,the peripheral benzene of TPA was replaced with 1,4-benzodioxane and anisole to obtain two new electrondonating units N-(2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]dioxin-6-yl)-N-phenyl-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]dioxin-6-amine(TPADBO,−5.02 eV)and 4-methoxy-N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-N-phenylaniline(TPAMO,−5.00 eV),which possess much shallower highest occupied molecule orbital(HOMO)energy levels than the prototype TPA(−5.33 eV).Based on TPA and the modified TPA donor fragments,three TADF emitters were designed and synthesized,namely Py-TPA,Py-TPADBO and Py-TPAMO,with the same acceptor fragment 12-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)pyrido[2′,3′:5,6]pyrazino[2,3-f][1,10]phenanthroline(Py).Among them,Py-TPAMO exhibits the highest photoluminescence quantum yield of 78.4%and the smallest singlet-triplet energy gap,which is because the introduction of anisole does not cause significant molecule deformation for the excited Py-TPAMO.And Py-TPAMO-based OLEDs successfully realize a maximum external quantum efficiency of 25.5%with the emission peak at 605 nm.This work provides a series of candidate of donor fragments for the development of efficient long-wavelength TADF emitters.

文摘Colloidal quantum dots(CQDs)are highly regarded for their outstanding photovoltaic characteristics,including excellent color purity,stability,high photoluminescence quantum yield(PLQY),narrow emission spectra,and ease of solution processing.Despite significant progress in quantum dot light-emitting diodes(QLEDs)technology since its inception in 1994,blue QLEDs still fall short in efficiency and lifespan compared to red and green versions.The toxicity concerns associated with Cd/Pb-based quantum dots(QDs)have spurred the development of heavy-metal-free alternatives,such as groupⅡ−Ⅵ(e.g.,ZnSe-based QDs),groupⅢ−Ⅴ(e.g.,InP,GaN QDs),and carbon dots(CDs).In this review,we discuss the key properties and development history of quantum dots(QDs),various synthesis approaches,the role of surface ligands,and important considerations in developing core/shell(C/S)structured QDs.Additionally,we provide an outlook on the challenges and future directions for blue QLEDs.

文摘Given the central role of light in the algal photosynthesis,respiration,cell division,growth and the accumulation of value products,the effects of light-emitting diodes(LEDs)light wavelengths(blue,white,red and green)were studied in Scenedesmus obliquus.Biomass,residual nutrient amount,soluble protein,astaxanthin and reactive oxygen species,superoxide dismutase(SOD),catalase(CAT)and peroxidase(POD)activity were analyzed to determine the effects of different monochromatic light wavelengths via biochemical methods.The results showed that blue light wavelength is the optimal light wavelength for phosphorus removal efficiency and the accumulation of biomass and astaxanthin in S.obliquus.Meanwhile,high reactive oxygen species content under the blue light might induce the accumulation of astaxanthin.The high activity of SOD,CAT and POD might participate in clearing the reactive oxygen species to facilitate the growth of microalgae.Furthermore,we found mixed blue/green lights treatment is the most appropriate mixture for the nitrogen removal.Under the blue light treatment,high light intensity and 18L:6D light cycle is the best condition for biomass and astaxanthin accumulation.Optimal nitrogen/phosphorus removal efficiency was observed under a 24L:0D light cycle.These results might provide a foundational data for the optimizing the productivity of high-value metabolites and treatment of wastewater.

文摘Organic field-effect transistors(OFETs) based on organic micro-/nanocrystals have been widely reported with charge carrier mobility exceeding 1.0 cm^2V^(-1)s^(-1), demonstrating great potential for high-performance, low-cost organic electronic applications. However, fabrication of large-area organic micro-/nanocrystal arrays with consistent crystal growth direction has posed a significant technical challenge. Here, we describe a solution-processed dip-coating technique to grow large-area, aligned 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl) anthracene(BPEA) and 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl) pentacene(TIPSPEN) single-crystalline nanoribbon arrays. The method is scalable to a 5 9 10 cm^2 wafer substrate, with around 60% of the wafer surface covered by aligned crystals. The quality of crystals can be easily controlled by tuning the dip-coating speed. Furthermore, OFETs based on well-aligned BPEA and TIPS-PEN single-crystalline nanoribbons were constructed.By optimizing channel lengths and using appropriate metallic electrodes, the BPEA and TIPS-PEN-based OFETs showed hole mobility exceeding 2.0 cm^2V^(-1)s^(-1)(average mobility 1.2 cm^2V^(-1)s^(-1)) and 3.0 cm^2V^(-1)s^(-1)(average mobility2.0 cm^2V^(-1)s^(-1)), respectively. They both have a high on/off ratio(I_(on)/I_(off))>10~9. The performance can well satisfy the requirements for light-emitting diodes driving.
文摘A numerical model for bilayer organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) is developed under the basis of trapped charge limited conduction.The dependences of the current density on the layer thickness,trap properties and carrier mobility of the hole transport layer (HTL) and emission layer (EML) in bilayer OLEDs of the structure anode/HTL/EML/cathode are numerically investigated.It is found that,for given values of the total thickness of organic layers,reduced depth of trap,total density of trap,and carrier mobility of HTL as well as EML,there exists an optimal thickness ratio of HTL to EML,by which a maximal quantum efficiency can be achieved.Through optimization of the thickness ratio,an enhancement of current density and quantum efficiency of as much as two orders of magnitude can be obtained.The dependences of the optimal thickness ratio to the characteristic trap energy,total density of trap and carrier mobility are numerically analyzed.

文摘Sr2SiO4:xEu^2+ phosphors were synthesized through the solid-state reaction technique. The crystal phase of Sr2SiO4:xEu^2+ phosphor manipulated by Eu^2+ concentration was studied. The phase transited from β to α' in Sr2SiO4:xEu^2+ phosphor with increasing europium concentration. The single β phase was formed as x≤005 and changed α' phase when x〉0.01. The emission spectrum of the β-Sr2SiO4:Eu^2+ phosphor consisted of a green-yellow broadband peaking at around 540 nm and a blue band at 470 nm under near ultraviolet excitation. The white LEDs by combining near ultraviolet chips with β-Sr2SiO4:Eu^2+ phosphors were fabricated. The luminous efficiency (15.7lm/W) was higher than α'-Sr2SiO4:Eu^2+ phosphor white LED.
文摘We report the fabrication and characterization of light-emitting diodes based on n-ZnO/p-GaN heterojunctions. The n-type ZnO epilayer is deposited by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on a MOCVD grown Mg-doped p-GaN layer to form a p-n heterojunction. During the etching process, the relation between the etching depth and the etching time is linear in a HF and NH4 CI solution of a certain ratio. The etching rates of the SiO2 and ZnO are well controlled,which are essential for device fabrication. The current-voltage relationship of this heterojunction shows a diode-like rectifying behavior. In contrast to previous reports,electroluminescence (EL) emissions are observed by the naked eye at room temperature from the n-ZnO/p-GaN heterojunction under forward-and reverse-bias. The origins of these EL emissions are discussed in comparison with the pho- toluminescence spectra.

文摘The well crystalline YAG:Ce^3+ phosphor was synthesized by sold-state method, and the temperature dependence of excitation and emission spectra of YAG:Ce^3+ phosphor were investigated in the temperature range from room temperature to 573 K. With temperature increasing, it was noted that the emission intensity of as-repared phosphors decreased considerably more rapidly when pumped by 460 nm than by 340 nm. The temperature-intensity curves under different excitation wavelengths were obtained using an Arrhenius function, and the corresponding activation energies were also obtained respectively. Thus, the experimental phenomenon was discussed in terms of nonradiative decay rate. The effects of as-prepared phosphors on the performance of the white LED with changing temperature were also studied.

文摘Metal halide perovskites have attracted tremendous interest due to their excellent optical and electrical properties,and they find many promising applications in the optoelectronic fields of solar cells,light-emitting diodes,and photodetectors.Thanks to the contributions of international researchers,significant progress has been made for perovskite light-emitting diodes(Pero-LEDs).The external quantum efficiencies(EQEs)of Pero-LEDs with emission of green,red,and near-infrared have all exceeded 20%.However,the blue Pero-LEDs still lag due to the poor film quality and deficient device structure.Herein,we summarize the strategies for preparing blue-emitting perovskites and categorize them into two:compositional engineering and size controlling of the emitting units.The advantages and disadvantages of both strategies are discussed,and a perspective of preparing high-performance blue-emitting perovskite is proposed.The challenges and future directions of blue PeroLEDs fabrication are also discussed.

文摘Light-emitting diodes based on lead halide perovskite have attracted great attention due to their outstanding performance.However,their application is plagued by the toxicity of Pb and the poor stability.Herein novel copper-based all inorganic perovskite CsCu2I3 with much enhanced stability has been reported with a potential photoluminescence quantum yield(PLQY)over 20%and self-trapped excitons(STE).By taking advantage of its extraordinary thermal stability,we successfully fabricate high-quality CsCu2I3 film through direct vacuum-based deposition(VBD)of CsCu2I3 powder.The resulting film shows almost the same PLQY with the synthesized powder,as well as excellent uniformity and stability.The perovskite light-emitting diodes(Pe-LED)based on the evaporated CsCu2I3 emitting layer achieve a luminescence of 10 cd/m2 and an external quantum efficiency(EQE)of 0.02%.To the best of our knowledge,this is the first CsCu2I3 Pe-LED fabricated by VBD with STE property,which offers a new avenue for lead-free Pe-LED.

文摘Considering the toxicity problem of lead-based perovskite quantum dots(PQDs),the lead-free Cs_(3)Bi_(2)Br_(g)PQDs has been recognized as one of the promising candidates.However,the low photoluminescence quantum yields(PLQYs)hinder its practical application in optoelectronic devices.Here,w e successfully prepared Sm^(3+)ions doped Cs_(3)Bi_(2)Br_(g)PQDs with effective white light-emission by modified ligandassisted recrystallization method.The realization of white light-emission is attributed to the broadband blue emission of excitons and the red emission(^(4)G_(5/2)-^(6)HJ(J=5/2,7/2,9/2))of Sm^(3+)ions for Sm^(3+)ions doped Cs_(3)Bi_(2)Br_(g)PQDs.More importantly,compared with the undoped Cs_(3)Bi_(2)Br_(g)PQDs,the PLQYs of Sm^(3+)ions doped Cs_(3)Bi_(2)Br_(g)PQDs are improved from 10.9%to 20.8%,and the anti-water stability is also obviously improved.Finally,the Sm^(3+)ions doped PQDs based white light-emitting diodes(LEDs)with luminous efficiency of 12.6 lm/W were explored,which indicates that there is a potential prospect of lead-free PQDs in white light lighting application.

文摘All-inorganic CsPbBr_(3) perovskite quantum dots(QDs)have received great attention in white light emission because of their outstanding properties.However,their practical application is hindered by poor stability.Herein,we propose a simple strategy to synthesize excellent stability and efficient emission of CsPbBr_(3) QDs by using 2-hexyldecanoic acid(DA)as a ligand to replace the regular oleic acid(OA)ligand.Thanks to the strong binding energy between DA ligand and QDs,the modified QDs not only show a high photoluminescence quantum yield(PLQY)of 96%but also exhibit high stability against ethanol and water.Thereby warm white light-emitting diodes(WLEDs)are constructed by combining lig-and modified CsPbBr_(3) QDs with red AgInZnS QDs on blue emitting InGaN chips,exhibiting a color rendering index of 93,a power efficiency of 64.8 lm/W,a CIE coordinate of(0.44,0.42)and correlated color temperature value of 3018 K.In ad-dition,WLEDs based on ligand modified CsPbBr_(3) QDs also exhibit better thermal performance than that of WLEDs based on the regular CsPbBr_(3) QDs.The combination of improved efficiency and better thermal stability with high color quality indicates that the modified CsPbBr_(3) QDs are ideal for WLEDs application.
