The invention relates to an 
electron transport material, and a preparation method and application thereof. The 
electron transport material uses 
aryl group as the center, wherein one side is connected with a naphthyridine group with 
electron transport property, and the other side is connected with a group different from naphthyridine with electron transport property, thereby constituting an unsymmetrical structure. The two sides of the 
aryl group are connected with different groups, thereby destroying the molecular symmetry, further destroying the molecular 
crystallinity and avoiding the intermolecular aggregation; and thus, the electron transport material has favorable film-forming property. Most groups in the molecule are rigid groups, thereby enhancing the 
heat stability of the material. Meanwhile, the 
aryl group is connected with the groups with electron transport property, so that the material has favorable electron transport capacity and hole barrier capacity, and can be used as an 
electron transport layer for organic electroluminescent devices.
