研究目的
To investigate the integration of electro-deposited CuSCN crystalline thin films based on aqueous electrolyte into organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) for performance improvements.
研究成果
The integration of electro-deposited CuSCN thin films into OLEDs resulted in significant performance improvements, including reduced driving and turn-on voltages, and mitigated efficiency roll-off. These enhancements were attributed to efficient hole-injection, electron blocking, improved charge balance, and good compatibility with organic systems.
研究不足
The study was limited to the fabrication and characterization of OLEDs with electro-deposited CuSCN HIL. The scalability and long-term stability of these devices were not addressed.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the electro-deposition of CuSCN thin films on ITO substrates using a three-electrode cell under potentiostatic control. The electrolyte solution was prepared with cupric sulfate pentahydrate, potassium thiocyanate, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid as the chelating agent.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
ITO substrates were used as the working electrode, with platinum foil and silver/silver chloride serving as the counter and reference electrodes, respectively.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Materials included CuSO4?5H2O, KSCN, EDTA, ITO substrates, and various organic materials for OLED fabrication. Equipment included a three-electrode cell, UV-ozone cleaner, thermal evaporation system, spectrophotometer, XRD, FE-SEM, AFM, and UPS.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The substrates were cleaned and treated before electro-deposition. CuSCN films were deposited under controlled conditions, followed by the fabrication of OLED devices with and without CuSCN HIL. The devices were characterized for their electrical and optical properties.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The performance of OLEDs was analyzed using current density-voltage-luminescence (J-V-L) characteristics. The optical, electrical, and material properties of CuSCN films were investigated using transmittance spectra, XRD, FE-SEM, AFM, and UPS.
