Efficient Green Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells Based on Ionic Iridium Complexes with Sulfone-Containing Cyclometalating Ligands

A new approach to obtain green-emitting iridiumA complexes is described. The synthetic approach consists of introducing a methylsulfone electron-withdrawing substituent into a 4-phenylpyrazole cyclometalating ligand in order to stabilize the highest- occupied molecular orbital (HOMO). Six new complexes have been synthe- sized incorporating the conjugate base of 1-(4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl)-1 H- pyrazole as the cyclometalating ligand. The complexes show green emission and very high photoluminescence quantum yields in both diluted and concentrated films. When used as the main active component in light-emit- ting electrochemical cells (LECs), green electroluminance is observed. High efficienci…

Host–guest blue light-emitting electrochemical cells

Carbazole, a commonly used hole-transporter for organic electronics, has been modified with an imidazolium cation and a hexafluorophosphate counter-anion to give an ionic hole-transporter. It has been applied as one of the hosts in a host–guest blue light-emitting electrochemical cell (LEC) with the neutral blue emitter FIrPic. We have obtained efficient and bright blue LECs with an electroluminescence maximum at 474 nm and efficacy of 5 cd A−1 at a luminance of 420 cd m−2, thereby demonstrating the potential of the ionic organic charge-transporters and of the host–guest architecture for LECs.

Stable Green Electroluminescence from an Iridium Tris-Heteroleptic Ionic Complex

An ionic tris-heteroleptic iridium complex gives green light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) with unprecedented performances for this part of the visible spectrum. The devices are very bright (>1000 cd m–2), efficient (∼3%), and stable (>55 h). The novel complex is prepared using a new and efficient synthetic procedure. We show that there is a mixed orbital formation originating from the two different orthometalating ligands resulting in photophysical properties that lie between those of its two bis-heteroleptic analogs. Therefore, tris-heteroleptic complexes provide new avenues for fine-tunning the emission properties and to bridge gaps between a series of bis-heteroleptic complexes.

Controlling the dynamic behavior of light emitting electrochemical cells

Abstract Light emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) present an attractive route towards cost efficient lighting applications. By utilizing ionic phosphorescent transition metal complexes, efficient electroluminescence can be realized from a single layer device using air stable electrodes. These devices achieve efficient charge carrier injection due to ion accumulation at the interface upon driving, resulting in a dynamic response upon device operation. Here we investigate the device operation by using fast current and luminance versus voltage sweeps during normal fixed bias operating. A universal set of JL–V curves can be identified in which different regimes are observable. The speed and …

Large area perovskite light-emitting diodes by gas-assisted crystallization:

Halide perovskites have been gaining considerable attention recently for use in light-emitting applications, due to their bandgap tunability, color purity and low cost fabrication methods. However, current fabrication techniques limit the processing to small-area devices. Here, we show that a facile N 2 gas-quenching technique can be used to make methylammonium lead bromide-based perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) with a peak luminance of 6600 cd m −2 and a current efficiency of 7.0 cd A −1 . We use this strategy to upscale PeLEDs to large-area substrates (230 cm 2 ) by developing a protocol for slot-die coating combined with gas-quenching. The resulting large area devices (9 device…

Operational Mechanism of Conjugated Polyelectrolytes

Conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPEs) are versatile materials used in a range of organic optoelectronic applications. Because of their ionic/electronic nature, characterizing these materials is nontrivial, and their operational mechanism is not fully understood. In this work we use a methodology that combines constant-voltage-driven current-density transient measurements with fast current vs voltage scans to allow decoupling of ionic and electronic phenomena. This technique is applied to diodes prepared with cationic CPEs having different charge-compensating anions. Our results indicate that the operational mechanism of these devices is governed by electrochemical doping of the CPE. On the bas…

Operating Modes of Sandwiched Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells

Light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) are promising lighting devices in which the redistribution of ionic charges allows for double electronic carrier injection from air-stable electrodes. Uncertainties about the mode of operation are limiting the progress of these devices. Using fast (with respect to the current growth time) but resolutive electrical measurement techniques, the electronic transport mechanism in state-of-the-art sandwiched devices can be monitored as a function of the operation time. The results indicate the formation of doped transport layers adjacent to the electrodes that reduces the extent of the central neutral light-emitting layer where electronic transport is l…

Stable Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells Using Hyperbranched Polymer Electrolyte

The choice of an adequate electrolyte is a fundamental aspect in polymer light-emitting electrochemical cells (PLECs) as it provides the in situ electrochemical doping and influences the performance of these devices. In this study, a hyperbranched polymer (Hybrane DEO750 8500) blended with a Li salt is used as a novel electrolyte in state-of-the-art Super Yellow (a polyphenylenevinylene) based LECs. Due to the desirable properties of the hyperbranched polymer and the homogeneous and smooth films that it forms with the emitting polymer, PLEC with excellent electroluminescent properties are obtained using a pulsed current bias scheme. The devices are very stable, with lifetimes in excess of 2…

In the present work we report the synthesis and the electrochemical, photoluminescent and electroluminescent properties of two new Ru(II) complexes described by the general formula [Ru(phen)2X](2+), where phen is 1,10-phenanthroline.

We report here a new cationic bis-cyclometallated iridium(III) complex, 1, with deep-blue emission at 440 nm and its use in Light-emitting Electrochemical Cells (LECs). The design is based on the 2′,6′-difluoro-2,3′-bipyridine skeleton as the cyclometallating ligand and a bis-imidazolium carbene-type ancillary ligand.

Spontaneous Self-Assembly of a 1,8-Naphthyridine into Diverse Crystalline 1D Nanostructures: Implications on the Stimuli-Responsive Luminescent Behaviour

The previously reported organic solid-state fluorophore 7-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-ethoxy-4-phenyl-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carbonitrile 1 was found to spontaneously self-organize into diverse 1D crystalline nanostructures by choosing appropriate liquid phase self-assembly conditions. Experimental results, as well as DFT quantum calculations (at the M06-2X/6-31+G(d) level), shed light on the aggregation mechanism. This was found in good agreement with molecules being primarily joined together through intermolecular alignment caused by electrostatic interactions, as well as minimization of the steric repulsions. This alignment provokes the preferential growth of the crystalline materials into 1D a…

Dynamic doping in bright and stable light emitting electrochemical cells.

By using fast current density and luminance versus voltage (JL-V) analysis the device operation of sandwiched light emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) during their normal voltage driving operation mode is studied. In LECs the application of a voltage results in the movement of ions changing the state of the device, as a result the JL-V scans need to be performed fast and meet certain conditions to be meaningful. Space-charge limited current behavior is observed once the injection barriers are overcome. The increase of the current density after this point imply that the effective thickness of the devices is reduced which indicates the formation of more conductive regions adjacent to the e…

Light-emitting electrochemical cells: recent progress and future prospects

We provide a short review on light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs), one of the simplest kinds of electroluminescent devices. In their simplest form, they consist of just one active layer containing an emitter and a salt. They operate with low voltages, which allows for high power efficiencies, and air-stable electrodes, which simplifies the encapsulation requirements. The aim of this review is to highlight the recent advances and the main remaining challenges. We describe the current understanding of their peculiar operation mechanism and focus on the major concepts used to improve their performance.

Low Current Density Driving Leads to Efficient, Bright and Stable Green Electroluminescence

Electroluminescent devices have the potential to reshape lighting and display technologies by providing low-energy consuming solutions with great aesthetic features, such as flexibility and transparency. In particular, light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) are among the simplest electro-luminescent devices. The device operates with air-stable materials and the active layer can be resumed to an ionic phosphorescent emitter. As a consequence, LECs can be assembled using solution-process technologies, which could allow for low-cost and large-area lighting applications in the future. High efficiencies have been reported at rather low luminances (<50 cd m(-2)) and at very low current densi…

Narrowband Monolithic Perovskite-Perovskite Tandem Photodetectors

Narrowband photodetectors (PDs) are sought after for many applications requiring selective spectral response. The most common systems combine optical bandpass filters with broadband photodiodes. This work reports a method to obtain a narrowband response in a perovskite PD by the monolithic integration of a perovskite photoconductor and a perovskite photodiode. The spectral response of the tandem PD is determined by the bandgap energy difference of the two perovskites, and exhibits a full width at half maximum below 85 nm, an external quantum efficiency up to 68% and a high specific detectivity of ≈1012 Jones in reverse bias, enabling the device to detect weak light signals.

Increasing the efficiency of light-emitting electrochemical cells by limiting the exciton quenching

ABSTRACTLight-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) are one of the simplest electroluminescent devices. The possibility to be processed from solution and to operate with air-stable materials makes them an attractive alternative to organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Still their efficiencies are below those obtained in OLEDs. Additionally the best efficiencies were reported at low luminances and sustained for a short period of time. Here we show that for a LEC employing an orange-emitting charged iridium complex that is driven using a pulsed driving scheme high efficiencies of up to 20.5 cd A-1 can be obtained at high luminance and sustained over the device lifetime. It is also shown that…

Polymorphism-Triggered Reversible Thermochromic Fluorescence of a simple 1,8-Naphthyridine

The fluorescent behavior in the solid state of a naphthyridine-based donor–acceptor heterocycle is presented. Synthesized as a crystalline blue-emissive solid (Pbca), the compound can easily be transformed in its P21/c polymorphic form by heating. The latter material shows blue to cyan emission switching triggered by a reversible thermally induced phase transformation. This fact, the reversible acidochromism, and the strong anisotropic fluorescence of the compound in the solid state, account for the potential of 1,8-naphthyridines as simple and highly tunable organic compounds in materials science.

Dynamic doping and degradation in sandwich-type light-emitting electrochemical cells

Photoluminescence spectroscopy has been performed in situ during device operation and after switch-off on ionic transition metal complex (iTMC)-based sandwich-type light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs). It is demonstrated that the photoluminescence of the LECs decreases with increasing operating time. For operating times up to three hours the decline in photoluminescence is fully recoverable after switching off the bias. These results imply that doping of the iTMC layer is responsible, not only, for the turn-on of LECs but also for their lifetimes.

Stable and Efficient Solid-State Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells Based on a Series of Hydrophobic Iridium Complexes

Light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) based on ionic transition-metal complexes (iTMCs) exhibiting high efficiency, short turn-on time, and long stability have recently been presented.

Degradation mechanisms in organic lead halide perovskite light-emitting diodes

Organic–inorganic metal halide perovskites have attracted significant attention for low-cost, high-efficiency, color-pure light-emitting applications. However, as seen in many reports so-far, perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLED) suffer from poor operational lifetime, limiting their practical use. The underlying degradation mechanism is a topic of crucial importance. Here, the degradation mechanisms of methylammonium lead bromide based PeLED are investigated. When the PeLED is electrically biased, there is an initial raise in the luminance followed by a rapid reduction in luminance and current density. Microscopic studies reveal the formation of micrometer-sized spots that are photolumin…
