针对节能高亮度QLED制备难题,研究识别并通过还原处理去除纳米晶电子注入层中的氧化物种,同时增强电子导电与空穴阻挡,实现全可见光谱超亮、亚带隙驱动QLED及超越美国能源部2035目标的QD共混白光LED。

摘要:

照明与显示依赖于电光和光致下转换发光,功率效率提升缓慢,占全球电力消耗的15%以上1,2。2014年,具有接近最优外量子效率的量子点(QD)LED(QLED)出现3,并为避免巨大的下转换能量损失提供了一条可行路径4,5。尽管历经十年进展4-22,制造兼具应用相关亮度的节能型QLED仍难以实现。本文将主要障碍确定为吸附在QLED纳米晶电子注入层中的氧化物种,并通过一种简单的还原处理加以解决,该处理可同时提高电子注入层的电子电导率和空穴阻挡能力。由此得到的具有最优效率的亚带隙驱动QLED在整个可见光谱范围内实现超高亮度,至少比现有基准高2.6倍。该亮度完全满足各种形式照明与显示的需求,并在中等偏压(约9 V)下跃升至足以用于QD激光二极管的显著水平。优化的电子注入还进一步催生了新型QD共混LED,可用于超过美国能源部设定的2035年研发目标的漫射白光光源。我们的发现为理解和优化各类溶液法光电器件所共有的纳米晶半导体中的载流子输运打开了大门。

英文摘要:

Lighting and display, relying on electric and optical down-conversion emission with sluggish power efficiency, account for >15% global electricity consumption1,2. In 2014, quantum-dot (QD) LEDs (QLEDs) with near-optimal external quantum efficiency emerged3 and promised a pathway to avoid the vast down-conversion energy loss4,5. Despite a decade of progress4-22, fabrication of energy-efficient QLEDs with application-relevant brightness remains elusive. Here, the main roadblock is identified as the oxidative species adsorbed in the nanocrystalline electron-injection layer of QLEDs, which is then addressed by a simple reductive treatment to simultaneously boosts electron conductivity and hole blockage of the electron-injection layer. The resulting sub-bandgap-driven QLEDs with optimal efficiency achieve ultra-high brightness across the entire visible spectrum at least 2.6-fold higher than existing benchmarks. The brightness fully satisfies the demands of various forms of lighting and display, which surges to a remarkable level sufficient for QD laser diodes with a moderate bias (~9 V). Optimized electron injection further enables new types of QD-blend LEDs for diffuse white-light sources surpassing the 2035 R&D targets set by the U.S. Department of Energy. Our findings open a door for understanding and optimizing carrier transport in nanocrystalline semiconductors shared by various types of solution-processed optoelectronic devices.
