description

ABSTRACTLight-Emitting Electrochemical Cells (LECs) consist of solution processable ionic light-emitting materials and use air stable electrodes. Their operational mechanism relies on both ionic and electronic conduction. The dynamic behavior is primarily determined by the ionic conductivity. Here, we demonstrate that with increasing temperature the LECs turn-on faster yet without decreasing the efficiency. This is due to the activation energy of ionic transport and the temperature independent photoluminescence quantum yields.
