Improved Turn-On Times of Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells

چکیده
Electroluminescent devices from ionic transition metal complexes (iTMCs) are attractive candidates for display and lighting applications. A major limitation of application of iTMC devices is their turn-on times, which range from minutes to hours at 3 V. We report novel ruthenium and iridium complexes with pendant triethylammonium groups bonded to the ligands with methylene units of various lengths. These materials lead to devices with turn-on times at 3 V as short as 2.5 min for the iridium complexes and as low as 5 s for the ruthenium complexes.

Biodegradable Polycaprolactone as Ion Solvating Polymer for Solution-Processed Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells
In this work, we demonstrate the use of the biodegradable polymer polycaprolactone (PCL) as the ion solvating polymer in solution-processed light-emitting electrochemical cells (LEC). We show that the inclusion of PCL in the active layer yields higher ionic conductivities and thus contributes to a rapid formation of the dynamic p-i-n junction and reduction of operating voltages. PCL shows no ph...
متن کاملDynamic 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 recovera...
متن کاملSmall-molecule light-emitting electrochemical cells: evidence for in situ electrochemical doping and functional operation.
We demonstrate that non-ionic small molecules (SMs) can function as the doping and emissive compound in light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs), and that high brightness and decent efficiency can be attained for such devices. It is plausible that the expansion of the LEC library, to include easy-to-purify and tunable non-ionic SM compounds, could represent a viable path towards improved LEC...
متن کاملStable and Efficient Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells
Three new heteroleptic iridium complexes that combine two approaches, one leading to a high stability and the other yielding a high luminescence efficiency, are presented. All complexes contain a phenyl group at the 6-position of the neutral bpy ligand, which holds an additional, increasingly bulky substituent on the 4-position. The phenyl group allows for intramolecular π–π stacking, which ren...
