Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

For example, it should be considered that the range description from 1 to 6 has specifically disclosed sub-ranges such as from 1 to 3, from 1 to 4, from 1 to 5, from 2 to 4, from 2 to 6, from 3 to 6, etc., and single numbers within the range, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, regardless of the range. Furthermore, whenever a numerical range is referred to herein, it means including any referenced number (fraction or integer) within the referred range.
[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The optoelectronic device includes a stacked anode 100, a hole functional layer (including a hole injection layer 200 and a hole transport layer 300), an active layer (light-emitting layer 400), an electronic functional layer (including an electron injection layer 600 and an electron transport layer 700), and a cathode 800. The electronic functional layer is made of a first core-shell material, the core material of which is a first N-type semiconductor material, and the shell material of which is a first carbon material; and / or,
[0034] A first interface layer 21 is provided between the active layer and the hole functional layer. The material of the first interface layer 21 includes a second core-shell material. The core material of the second core-shell material includes a first P-type semiconductor material, and the shell material of the second core-shell material includes a second carbon material. And / or, a first interface layer 22 is provided between the active layer and the electronic functional layer. The material of the first interface layer 22 includes a third core-shell material. The core material of the third core-shell material includes a second N-type semiconductor material, and the shell material of the third core-shell material includes a third carbon material.
[0035] In this embodiment, firstly, the second core-shell material contains a first P-type semiconductor material, and the first core-shell material and the third core-shell material contain a first N-type semiconductor material and a second N-type semiconductor material, respectively. Therefore, it has strong conductivity, which can effectively promote electron / hole transport and improve the external quantum transport efficiency of the optoelectronic device 10.
[0036] Secondly, the contact angle between the aforementioned materials and water is small, thus the film formed by them has strong superhydrophilicity. In summary, the optoelectronic device 10 of this embodiment can absorb water and oxygen by using at least one porous metal oxide layer among the hole functional layer, the first interface layer 21, the electronic functional layer, and the first interface layer 22 after water and oxygen enter, thereby preventing water and oxygen from entering the light-emitting layer 400 and causing the material of the light-emitting layer 400 to be hydrolyzed or oxidized, thereby improving the service life of the optoelectronic device 10 and improving the external quantum efficiency of the optoelectronic device 10.
[0037] Then, since the first carbon material, the second carbon material, and the third carbon material all contain carbon elements, they have a certain elasticity, thereby avoiding the formation of cracks in the film layer due to volume shrinkage during the production process such as annealing. Therefore, at least one of the hole functional layer, the first interface layer 21, the electronic functional layer, and the first interface layer 22 has a uniform morphology, which can effectively improve the external quantum efficiency and service life of the optoelectronic device 10.
[0038] Furthermore, the electronegativity of the first metallic material is greater than 1.61; and / or,
[0039] The material of the first interface layer further includes a second doped material, the second doped material comprising a second metallic material having an electronegativity greater than 1.61; and / or,
[0040] The material of the second interface layer further includes a third doped material, which includes a third metal material with an electronegativity greater than 1.61.
[0041] In this embodiment, the electronegativity of the first, second, and third metal materials is greater than 1.61, which enables the materials to have high conductivity, thereby improving the external quantum efficiency of the optoelectronic device.
[0042] For further details, please refer to... Figure 1 The electronic functional layer material also includes a first doped material, which includes a first metallic material selected from copper, silver, and aluminum; and / or,
[0043] The material of the first interface layer 21 further includes a second doped material, which includes a second metallic material selected from copper, silver, and aluminum; and / or,
[0044] The material of the first interface layer 22 also includes a third doped material, which includes a third metallic material selected from copper, silver, aluminum, and / or.
[0045] In this embodiment, metal doping reduces the contact angle between the film containing P-type or N-type semiconductor materials and water, improving the hydrophilicity of the film and thus extending the lifespan of the optoelectronic device. Because metals such as copper, silver, and aluminum have high electronegativity and good conductivity, films containing these metals can effectively improve electron transport efficiency. When copper is selected, its conductivity is even better, resulting in a higher external quantum efficiency for the optoelectronic device.
[0046] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the first doped material to the first core-shell material is (3-6):10; and / or,
[0047] The mass ratio of the second doped material to the second core-shell material is (3-6):10; and / or,
[0048] The mass ratio of the third doped material to the third core-shell material is (3-6):10.
[0049] In this embodiment, the ratio of the doped material (including the first to third doped materials) to its corresponding core-shell material (including the first to third core-shell materials) ensures that the film containing the above materials can have high electron / hole transport efficiency while possessing sufficient superhydrophilicity, thereby improving the external quantum efficiency and lifespan of the optoelectronic device. It should be understood that the mass ratio of the first doped material to the first core-shell material can be any value of 3:10, 4:10, 5:10, 6:10, or any range formed by any two of these values; the mass ratio of the second doped material to the second core-shell material can be any value of 3:10, 4:10, 5:10, 6:10, or any range formed by any two of these values; and the mass ratio of the third doped material to the third core-shell material can be any value of 3:10, 4:10, 5:10, 6:10, or any range formed by any two of these values.
[0050] Furthermore, the average particle size of the first p-type semiconductor material ranges from 3 nm to 10 nm; and / or,
[0051] The average particle size range of the first P-type semiconductor material is 3 nm to 10 nm; and / or,
[0052] The average particle size range of the first type N semiconductor material is 3 nm to 10 nm; and / or,
[0053] The average particle size range of the second type N semiconductor material is 3 nm to 10 nm.
[0054] In this embodiment, the average size of the first N-type semiconductor material and the second N-type semiconductor material ensures their dispersion and stacking in the film layer, avoiding excessively large sizes that would result in low energy levels, thereby improving electron transport efficiency. Similarly, the average particle size of the first P-type semiconductor material can also improve the hole transport efficiency of the film layer in which they are located. It should be understood that the average particle size range of the first P-type semiconductor material can be any value or any two values of 3nm, 4nm, 5nm, 6nm, 7nm, 8nm, 9nm, and 10nm; the average particle size range of the first P-type semiconductor material can be any value or any two values of 3nm, 4nm, 5nm, 6nm, 7nm, 8nm, 9nm, and 10nm; the average particle size range of the first N-type semiconductor material can be any value or any two values of 3nm, 4nm, 5nm, 6nm, 7nm, 8nm, 9nm, and 10nm; and the average particle size range of the second N-type semiconductor material can be any value or any two values of 3nm, 4nm, 5nm, 6nm, 7nm, 8nm, 9nm, and 10nm.
[0055] The methods for measuring the average particle size mentioned above include scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction line-width method (XRD), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), dynamic light scattering (DLS), resistance method, Coulter counting method, Stokes sedimentation method, adsorption method, etc.
[0056] For example, taking non-metallic single-mass quantum dot materials as an example, when measuring the average particle size using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), a Hitachi H-600 TEM can be used to observe and characterize the morphology of nanoparticles and determine their size. Specifically, the non-metallic single-mass quantum dot material nanoparticles are made into a suspension and dropped onto a copper grid with a carbon support film. After the carrier liquid (e.g., ethanol) evaporates, the sample is placed on the sample stage. Representative groups of nanoparticles (A, B, and C) are selected from the non-metallic single-mass quantum dot material, and high-magnification TEM images are taken. Fifty nanoparticles are randomly selected from each image to measure their size, and the average particle size is calculated using the following formula.
[0057] Here, n is set to 50.
[0058] If the average particle size of quantum dots is measured using the X-ray diffraction line width method, a D / max-rB type rotating anode target polycrystalline X-ray diffractometer is used to determine the crystal structure and average particle size of non-metallic single-mass quantum dot material nanoparticles. The average particle size of the nanoparticles is then calculated using the crystallite size calculation formula, as follows:
[0059] Where λ is the wavelength of the X-rays (Cu target), which is equal to 0.154059 nm; β is the broadening at the half-peak intensity of the diffraction line due to grain refinement, which is equal to the difference between B and B0, where B is the measured half-peak width and B0 is the instrumental broadening (obtained by measuring particle sizes less than 1 micrometer). In the above measurements, four low-angle (2θ ≤ 50°) X-ray diffraction lines were selected to calculate the average particle size D1 of the nanoparticles.

And one or more of CuGaS; the fourth inorganic material includes one or more doped second compounds, the general formula of which is A(1-x)MxO, wherein 0 < x ≤ 0.5, A and M are not the same, and A and M are independently selected from one or more of Zn, Ti, Sn, Ba, Ta, Al, Zr, Mg, Ga, Li, Ga, In and Y; optionally, the doped second compound is selected from at least one of Zn(1-x)MgxO, Zn(1-x)CaxO, Zn(1-x)ZrxO, Zn(1-x)GaxO, Zn(1-x)AlxO, Zn(1-x)LixO, Al(1-x)ZnxO, Zn(1-x)TixO, Zn(1-x)YxO, In(1-x)SnxO and Ti(1-x)LixO; and / or,
[0065] The third porous metal oxide material is selected from one or more of the third inorganic material and the fourth inorganic material; the third inorganic material includes one or more of the undoped first metal oxide, IIB-VIA group semiconductor materials, IIIA-VA group semiconductor materials, IB-IIIA-VIA group semiconductor materials, ZrSiO4, BaTiO3, BaZrO3, and Si3N4; the undoped first metal oxide is selected from one or more of ZnO, TiO2, SnO2, BaO, Ta2O3, Al2O3, and ZrO2; the IIB-VIA group semiconductor material is selected from one or more of ZnS, ZnSe, and CdS; the IIIA-VA group semiconductor material is selected from one or more of InP and GaP; and the IB-IIIA-VIA group semiconductor material is selected from CuIn. S and CuGaS are selected from one or more of them; the fourth inorganic material includes one or more doped second compounds, the general formula of which is A(1-x)MxO, wherein 0 < x ≤ 0.5, A and M are not the same, and A and M are independently selected from one or more of Zn, Ti, Sn, Ba, Ta, Al, Zr, Mg, Ga, Li, Ga, In and Y respectively; optionally, the doped second compound is selected from at least one of Zn(1-x)MgxO, Zn(1-x)CaxO, Zn(1-x)ZrxO, Zn(1-x)GaxO, Zn(1-x)AlxO, Zn(1-x)LixO, Al(1-x)ZnxO, Zn(1-x)TixO, Zn(1-x)YxO, In(1-x)SnxO and Ti(1-x)LixO.
[0066] The first P-type semiconductor material includes a first porous metal oxide material, the first porous metal oxide material having a porosity of 30% to 80% and a pore size of 1 nm to 8 nm; and / or
[0067] The first N-type semiconductor material includes a second porous metal oxide material, the second porous metal oxide material having a porosity of 30% to 80% and a pore size of 1 nm to 8 nm; and / or,
[0068] The second N-type semiconductor material includes a third porous metal oxide material, the porosity of which is 30% to 80%, and the pore size of which is 1 nm to 8 nm.
[0069] In this embodiment, because the first N-type semiconductor material and the second N-type semiconductor material in the embodiment have high electron mobility, the film containing the above materials can maintain high electron transport efficiency while being superhydrophilic. Similarly, the first P-type semiconductor material has high hole transport efficiency, so it can maintain high hole transport efficiency while ensuring that the film containing the above materials is superhydrophilic.
[0070] When the first P-type semiconductor material, the first N-type semiconductor material, and the second N-type semiconductor material respectively comprise a first porous metal oxide, a second porous metal oxide, and a third porous metal oxide, the porosity and pore size of the first porous metal oxide, the second porous metal oxide, and the third porous metal oxide will affect their conductivity and hydrophilicity. When the porosity of the first porous metal oxide, the second porous metal oxide, and the third porous metal oxide are independently selected from 30% to 80%, and the pore size is independently selected from 1 nm to 8 nm, the electronic functional layer, the first interface layer, and the second interface layer have high conductivity and hydrophilicity.
[0071] It should be understood that the porosity of the first porous metal oxide material can be any value or any two of 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, and 80%, and the pore size can be any value or any two of 1nm, 1nm, 2nm, 3nm, 4nm, 5nm, 6nm, 7nm, and 8nm. Similarly, the porosity of the second porous metal oxide material can be any value or any two of 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, and 80%, and the pore size can be any value or any two of 1nm, 1nm, 2nm, 3nm, 4nm, 5nm, 6nm, 7nm, and 8nm. The porosity of the third porous metal oxide material can be any value or any two of 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, and 80%, and the pore size can be any value or any two of 1nm, 2nm, 3nm, 4nm, 5nm, 6nm, 7nm, and 8nm.
[0072] It should be understood that the porosity measurement method employs nuclear magnetic resonance nanopore analysis, which utilizes nuclear magnetic resonance technology to test the phase transition process of liquids within pores and characterizes the pore size distribution of porous materials using the Gibbs-Thomson equation. The pore size is measured using transmission electron microscopy.
[0073] During the experiment on optoelectronic device 10, when XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) was used to test the optoelectronic device 10, it was found that the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the Ag 3d peak located at the ZnMgO / Ag interface was larger than that of elemental Ag (approximately 1 eV), indicating that the Ag at the ZnMgO / Ag interface was in an oxidized state. The atomic concentration of silver first increased and then decreased, while the atomic concentrations of oxygen, zinc, and carbon also first increased and then decreased with etching cycles, and the atomic concentration of silver decreased as the atomic concentration increased. That is, the surface cathode was oxidized, which led to a decrease in the Ag concentration and an increase in the concentrations of oxygen and other elements. In other words, when the electronic functional layer includes metal oxides, the electrodes in contact with the electronic functional layer are easily oxidized by the oxygen active sites in the metal oxides to form electrode oxides, which in turn leads to a decrease in the electron injection efficiency of optoelectronic device 10.
[0074] To further address the above issues, please refer to [the relevant documentation / reference]. Figures 1 to 3 The electronic functional layer includes an electron injection layer, and the material of the electron injection layer includes MXenes material, which is selected from at least one of two-dimensional transition metal carbides, two-dimensional transition metal nitrides and two-dimensional transition metal carbonitrides.
[0075] The two-dimensional transition metal in the two-dimensional transition metal carbide, two-dimensional transition metal nitride and two-dimensional transition metal carbonitride is selected from at least one of titanium, vanadium, niobium and molybdenum.
[0076] In this embodiment, the general structural formula of MXenes material is ABTx;
[0077] Where A includes transition metals, B includes carbon or nitrogen, T is a functional group, and x is the number of Ts in a single electron-injected layer 700 material.
[0078] In this embodiment, one aspect is that the work function of the MXene material can be tuned, allowing it to act as a transition layer to lower the electron injection barrier and improve the efficiency and lifetime of the optoelectronic device 10. Typically, the work functions of two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides are concentrated in the range of 4–5 eV, and the work function of MXene materials can be tuned by adjusting the content of terminal functional groups such as -F, -OH, and =O3. Therefore, the electron injection performance of the optoelectronic device 10 can be adjusted by changing the type and number of functional groups T.
[0079] In summary, the electron injection layer 700 of this embodiment can effectively improve the electron injection efficiency and lifespan of the optoelectronic device 10. It is understood that the transition metal includes at least one of Ti, V, and Mm; and / or, the functional group includes at least one of hydroxyl, oxygen, and fluorine groups; and / or, the metal oxide includes at least one of ZnO, TiO2, SnO2, Al2O3, GaO, Ga2O3, ZrO2, NiO, ZnS, ZnSe, CdS, InP, GaP, BaTiO3, Cs2CO3, and Rb2CO3.
[0080] Furthermore, the electron injection layer also includes a fourth doped material, which includes metal nanowires, including at least one of Ag nanowires, Al nanowires, Au nanowires, and Cu nanowires.
[0081] In this embodiment, the MXenes material doped with the fourth doping material has high density due to the presence of metal nanowires, which can isolate water and oxygen. Furthermore, the transition metal carbides and nitrides in this material are chemically stable and do not easily react with the oxygen active sites of the metal oxides in the electron transport layer 600, thereby improving the service life of the optoelectronic device 10.
[0082] Furthermore, the molar ratio of metal nanowires to MXenes materials is (0.2–0.6):1; and / or,
[0083] The materials of the anode 100 and cathode 800 include one or more of metals, carbon materials, and metal oxides.

These composite electrodes include one or more of AZO / Ag / AZO, AZO / Al / AZO, ITO / Ag / ITO, ITO / Al / ITO, ZnO / Ag / ZnO, ZnO / Al / ZnO, ZnS / Ag / ZnS, ZnS / Al / ZnS, TiO2 / Ag / TiO2, and TiO2 / Al / TiO2; and / or...

[0086] In this embodiment, the molar ratio of metal nanowires to MXenes material avoids both insufficient metal nanowires leading to low electron injection efficiency in the electron injection layer and excessive metal nanowires causing material agglomeration, which would affect the lifespan of the optoelectronic device. It is understood that the molar ratio of metal nanowires to the first material can be any value or a range formed by any two of the following: 0.2:1, 0.25:1, 0.3:1, 0.35:1, 0.4:1, 0.45:1, 0.5:1, 0.55:1, 0.6:1.
[0087] Accordingly, please refer to Figure 4 This application also provides a method for fabricating an optoelectronic device 10, the method comprising:
[0088] Forming an anode;
[0089] An active layer is formed above the anode;
[0090] A cathode is formed above the active layer;
[0091] Prior to the step of forming the active layer above the anode, the following steps are also included:
[0092] A hole-functional layer is formed on the anode;
[0093] A first interface layer solution is provided, which is then deposited on a hole functional layer to form a first interface layer. The material of the first interface layer solution includes a second core-shell material, the core material of the second core-shell material includes a first p-type semiconductor material, and the shell material of the second core-shell material includes a second carbon material; and / or...
[0094] The following steps are included prior to the step of forming the cathode above the active layer:
[0095] An electronic functional layer solution is provided, and the electronic functional layer solution is deposited on an active layer to form an electronic functional layer. The electronic functional layer solution includes a first core-shell material, the core material of which includes a first p-type semiconductor material, and the shell material of which includes a first carbon material; and / or...
[0096] After forming an electronic functional layer on the active layer, the following steps are also included;
[0097] A second interface layer solution is provided to deposit the second interface layer on the electronic functional layer to form the second interface layer. The material of the second interface layer solution includes a third core-shell material. The core material of the third core-shell material includes a second N-type semiconductor material, and the shell material of the third core-shell material includes a third carbon material.
[0098] In this embodiment, because at least one of the aforementioned electronic functional layer, first interface layer, and second interface layer contains a core-shell material (including the first to third core-shell materials) and a carbon material (including the first to third carbon materials), the optoelectronic device has strong conductivity, effectively promoting electron / hole transport. Simultaneously, it prevents water and oxygen from entering the light-emitting layer 400 (active layer), which could lead to hydrolysis or oxidation of the light-emitting layer 400 material, thereby improving the lifespan of the optoelectronic device 10 and its external quantum efficiency. When the optoelectronic device simultaneously includes an electronic functional layer, a first interface layer, and a second interface layer, the flowchart of its fabrication method is as follows: Figure 4 As shown.
[0099] For further details, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 4 The electronic functional layer solution further includes a first metallic material, and the preparation steps of the electronic functional layer solution include:
[0100] A first metal precursor and a first organic solvent are provided, and the first metal precursor and the first organic solvent are mixed and stirred to form a first mixed solution;
[0101] A first metal oxide precursor is provided, and the first metal oxide precursor and the first mixed solution are mixed and stirred to form a second mixed solution, wherein the molar ratio of the first metal precursor to the first metal oxide precursor is (0.5~0.8):1;
[0102] The second mixed solution was filtered and dried to obtain the first preform;
[0103] The first preform and the first organic solvent are mixed to obtain an electronic functional layer solution; and / or,
[0104] The first interface layer solution further includes a second metallic material, and the preparation steps of the first interface layer solution include:
[0105] A second metal precursor and a second organic solvent are provided, and the second metal precursor and the second organic solvent are mixed and stirred to form a third mixed solution;
[0106] A second metal oxide precursor is provided, and the second metal oxide precursor and the third mixed solution are mixed and stirred to form a fourth mixed solution, wherein the molar ratio of the second metal precursor to the second metal oxide precursor is (0.5~0.8):1;
[0107] The fourth mixed solution is filtered and dried to obtain the second preform;
[0108] The second preform and the second organic solvent are mixed to obtain a first interface layer solution; and / or,
[0109] The second interface layer solution further includes a third metallic material, and the preparation steps of the second interface layer solution include:
[0110] A third metal precursor and a third organic solvent are provided, and the third metal precursor and the third organic solvent are mixed and stirred to form a fifth mixed solution;
[0111] A third metal oxide precursor is provided, and the third metal oxide precursor and the fifth mixed solution are mixed and stirred to form a sixth mixed solution, wherein the molar ratio of the third metal precursor to the third metal oxide precursor is (0.5~0.8):1;
[0112] The sixth mixed solution was filtered and dried to obtain the third preform;
[0113] The third preform and the third organic solvent are mixed to obtain the second interface layer solution.
[0114] In this embodiment, the molar ratios of the first, second, and third metal precursors to the first, second, and third metal oxide precursors, respectively, can affect the pore size of the porous metal oxide. For example, when the first metal precursor is copper chloride, copper chloride acts as both a metal precursor and an initiator for surface tension differences. Higher copper chloride content results in larger pores in the first porous metal oxide, while lower content results in smaller pores. Therefore, the molar ratio ranges of the first, second, and third metal precursors to the first, second, and third metal oxide precursors, respectively, in this embodiment can prevent the porous metal oxide from having excessively small pores, leading to reduced conductivity of the interface layer, while also preventing excessively large pores from damaging the interface layer surface and causing uneven morphology.
[0115] It is understood that the molar ratio of the aforementioned metal precursor to the porous metal oxide precursor can be any value or a range formed by any two of the following: 0.5:1, 0.55:1, 0.6:1, 0.65:1, 0.7:1, 0.75:1, 0.8:1. The preform can be a porous metal oxide.
[0116] Furthermore, the first metal precursor, the second metal precursor, and the third metal precursor are independently selected from at least one of copper chloride, silver chloride, and aluminum chloride; and / or,
[0117] The first organic solvent, the second organic solvent, and the third organic solvent independently comprise at least one of ethanol, ammonia, dimethyl sulfoxide, and N,N-dimethylformamide; and / or,
[0118] The first metal oxide precursor, the second metal oxide precursor, and the third metal oxide precursor each independently include at least one of nickel chloride hexahydrate and tetrabutyl titanate.
[0119] In this embodiment, the method for preparing metal-filled porous metal oxides in the fabrication method of optoelectronic devices is the solution-gel method, which has a simple preparation process and high production efficiency.
[0120] Furthermore, prior to the final formation of the cathode, the process includes the formation of an electron injection layer, specifically including:
[0121] An electron injection layer solution is provided, and the electron injection layer solution is deposited to form the electron injection layer; wherein the electron injection layer solution includes an MXenes material, and the MXenes material is selected from at least one of two-dimensional transition metal carbides, two-dimensional transition metal nitrides, and two-dimensional transition metal carbonitrides;
[0122] The two-dimensional transition metal in the two-dimensional transition metal carbide, two-dimensional transition metal nitride and two-dimensional transition metal carbonitride is selected from at least one of titanium, vanadium, niobium and molybdenum.
[0123] In this embodiment, since the electron injection layer contains at least one of two-dimensional transition metal carbides, two-dimensional transition metal nitrides and two-dimensional transition metal carbonitrides, the electron injection layer 700 of this embodiment can effectively improve the electron injection efficiency and service life of the optoelectronic device 10.
[0124] Furthermore, the electron injection layer also includes a fourth doped material, which includes metal nanowires. The steps for forming the electron injection layer include:
[0125] Provide MXenes materials;
[0126] Mixing MXenes material with a metal nanowire solution yields an electron injection layer solution;
[0127] Deposit the electron injection layer solution to form the electron injection layer;
[0128] In the electron injection layer solution, the molar ratio of metal nanowires to MXenes material is (0.2–0.6):1.
[0129] In this embodiment, the molar ratio of metal nanowires to MXenes material avoids both insufficient metal nanowires leading to low electron injection efficiency in the electron injection layer and excessive metal nanowires causing material agglomeration, which would affect the lifespan of the optoelectronic device. It is understood that the molar ratio of metal nanowires to the first material can be any value or a range formed by any two of the following: 0.2:1, 0.25:1, 0.3:1, 0.35:1, 0.4:1, 0.45:1, 0.5:1, 0.55:1, 0.6:1.
[0130] Accordingly, this application also provides a display device, which includes an optoelectronic device of any of the above embodiments or the optoelectronic device in the display device is prepared by the preparation method of the optoelectronic device of any of the above embodiments.
[0131] In this embodiment, since the display device includes the optoelectronic device of any of the above embodiments or the optoelectronic device in the display device is prepared by the preparation method of the optoelectronic device of any of the above embodiments, the display device has high external quantum efficiency and long service life.
[0132] The present application will be specifically described below through specific embodiments. The following embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.
[0133] Example 1
[0134] This application provides a method for fabricating an optoelectronic device, the method of which is as follows:
[0135] Step 1: Prepare the interface layer solution. Weigh 28 mg of salicylic acid and 8 mg of copper chloride into beaker A, then add 230 ml of ethanol and stir for one hour until fully dissolved. Separately, weigh 34 ml of tetrabutyl titanate into beaker B, add 28 ml of acetylacetone and stir until homogeneous. Then, drop the mixture from beaker A into beaker B and stir for 2 hours. Achieve the diluted gel solution at 20°C and 40% RH. Filter and dry to obtain the corresponding Cu-C@TiO2 material. Then, prepare a 3 mg / ml interface layer solution of Cu-C@TiO2 (where the molar ratio of copper chloride to tetrabutyl titanate is 1:0.6).
[0136] Step 2: Provide the electron injection layer solution. Dissolve 1.5g LiF in 20ml hydrochloric acid (6mol / L) as the etching solution. Then add 0.5g Ti3AlC2 powder to the etching solution, stir at 40℃ for 48h, and wash to obtain Ti3C2Tx powder. Then take 0.25g of powder and add it to 100ml deionized water, sonicate at 40℃ for 1h, and centrifuge at 3500rpm / min to obtain a few-layer Ti3C2Tx nanosheet colloidal solution of 1.5mg / ml. Then mix 1.5mg / ml of Ti3C2Tx in 30ml and Ag nanowire solution in 1mg / ml in 20ml, and stir for 10min to obtain the Ti3C2Tx / Ag nanowire electron injection layer solution. The molar ratio of Ti3C2Tx nanosheet colloid to Ag nanowire in the electron injection layer solution is 40% (wherein the T functional group usually has multiple forms in the actual production process, that is, the oxygen, hydroxyl and fluorine groups are mixed, so no specific limitation is made).
[0137] Step 3, Anode preparation. A substrate with ITO glass is provided. The ITO glass is cleaned and further organic contaminants on the surface of the ITO glass are removed using an ultraviolet ozone cleaner to improve the wettability of the ITO surface. Then the preform is placed on a 230°C hot plate for drying to form a 50nm thick anode.
[0138] Step 4, prepare the hole transport layer. Provide a hole transport layer solution and use the hole transport layer solution to form a hole transport layer liquid film on the above anode. Transfer the substrate to a VCD device (high vacuum circulating dryer) for drying, and then place the substrate on a 230°C hot stage for annealing for 30 minutes to form a 50nm thick hole transport layer. The material of the hole transport layer is TFB.
[0139] Step 5, Prepare the light-emitting layer. Coat the light-emitting layer solution onto the hole transport layer described above, transfer the substrate to a VCD device for drying, and then anneal it for 10 minutes using a 100°C hot stage to form a 30nm thick light-emitting layer;
[0140] Step 6: Print 3 drops of the interface layer solution prepared in Step 1 onto the light-emitting layer by inkjet printing, and then anneal the layer at 500°C for 2 hours under vacuum to obtain a second interface layer of 6 nm.
[0141] Step 7: Prepare the electron transport layer. An electron transport layer liquid film is formed on the aforementioned light-emitting layer. The substrate is transferred to a VCD device (high vacuum circulating drying equipment) for drying, and then placed on a 230°C hot stage for annealing for 30 minutes to form a 50nm thick zinc oxide electron transport layer.
[0142] Step 8: Prepare the electron injection layer. Print the electron injection layer solution obtained in Step 2 onto the electron transport layer to form a 5 nm thick electron injection layer film.
[0143] Step 9, Cathode fabrication. The substrate is transferred to a vacuum evaporation machine, and Al is evaporated onto the optoelectronic device to form a 70 nm thick aluminum cathode.

The Ag-C@TiO2 material is obtained by filtration and drying, and then prepared into a 3 mg / ml interfacial layer solution.

[0205] Comparative Example 2
[0206] This comparative example is basically the same as Example 1, except that steps 1, 2, 6, and 8 are omitted.
[0207] The optoelectronic device performance of Examples 1 to 26 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2 was tested using IVL equipment. The external quantum efficiency at a brightness of 1000 cd / m2 was used as the external quantum efficiency index, and the brightness of the optoelectronic device under a voltage of 4V was used as the luminous intensity evaluation index. The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0208] Table 1:
[0209]
[0210]
[0211] As shown in Table 1:
[0212] As can be seen from Comparative Examples 1 and 26, when a second interface layer is added between the electron transport layer and the light emission layer, and the second interface layer includes a porous metal oxide filled with metal and encapsulated in carbon, the external quantum efficiency and lifespan of the optoelectronic device are significantly improved. This proves that the second interface layer can prevent water and oxygen from entering the optoelectronic device and improve the electron transport efficiency.
[0213] As shown in Examples 1, 20, 26, and Comparative Examples 1 and 2, adding an electron injection layer between the electron transport layer and the cathode can improve the external quantum efficiency and lifespan of optoelectronic devices. Furthermore, when the electron injection layer is made of materials such as Ti3C2Tx / Ag nanowires, it can effectively improve the electron injection efficiency and prevent cathode oxidation caused by contact between the electron transport layer and the cathode, thereby improving the external quantum efficiency and lifespan of the optoelectronic device.
[0214] As can be seen from Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2, the material of the second interface layer can be of various types. With different materials of the second interface layer, the external quantum transmission efficiency and lifespan of the optoelectronic device are also different. Furthermore, when the optoelectronic device has a second interface layer between the electron transport layer and the light emission layer, and an electron injection layer made of Ti3C2Tx / Ag nanowires is also provided, the external quantum efficiency and lifespan of the optoelectronic device are further improved.
[0215] As can be seen from Examples 1, 4 and 5, when preparing a second interface layer solution containing a porous metal oxide filled with metal, an excessively high ratio of metal precursor to porous metal oxide precursor will lead to a decrease in the lifespan of optoelectronic devices, while an excessively low ratio will lead to a decrease in external quantum transmission efficiency.
[0216] As can be seen from Comparative Examples 1-2 and Examples 6-7, setting a processing layer between the hole transport layer and the light-emitting layer can also improve the external quantum efficiency and lifespan of optoelectronic devices. At the same time, when processing layers are set between both the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer of the optoelectronic device and the light-emitting layer, the lifespan and external quantum efficiency of the optoelectronic device are significantly improved.
[0217] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 8, when carbon is used to encapsulate porous metal oxides, the lifespan of optoelectronic devices is significantly improved. This proves that carbon-encapsulated porous metal oxides can prevent the second interface layer from shrinking and causing cracks, thereby improving the morphological uniformity of the second interface layer and further improving the external quantum efficiency and lifespan of optoelectronic devices.
[0218] As can be seen from Examples 1, 9 and 10, when a porous metal oxide filled with metal is doped into the electron transport layer or hole transport layer, the electron transport layer or hole injection layer itself is regarded as a second interface layer, which can also isolate water and oxygen, and improve the external quantum transport efficiency and service life of optoelectronic devices.
[0219] According to Comparative Examples 1-2 and Examples 1 and 11-13, when the electron injection layer material includes MXenes material, the optoelectronic device can effectively avoid cathode oxidation caused by contact between the electron transport layer and the cathode, and improve the electron transport rate, thereby improving the external quantum efficiency and lifespan of the optoelectronic device.
[0220] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 14-15, the molar ratio of metal nanowires to the fourth doped material can avoid the low electron injection efficiency of the electron injection layer due to too few metal nanowires, while avoiding the agglomeration of materials due to too many metal nanowires, which would affect the service life of optoelectronic devices.
[0221] As can be seen from Comparative Example 1 and Examples 16-17, when an optoelectronic device contains a hole transport layer composed of carbon material and P-type semiconductor material, its external quantum efficiency and lifetime are both improved; similarly, when an optoelectronic device contains an electron transport layer composed of carbon material and N-type semiconductor material, its external quantum efficiency and lifetime are both improved.
[0222] As can be seen from Comparative Example 1 and Examples 18-19, the first interface layer containing carbon material and P-type semiconductor material can effectively isolate water and oxygen, thereby improving the external quantum efficiency and lifespan of optoelectronic devices; similarly, the second interface layer containing carbon material and N-type semiconductor material can also effectively isolate water and oxygen, thereby improving the external quantum efficiency and lifespan of optoelectronic devices.
[0223] According to Comparative Examples 1 and Examples 16-25, as long as the optoelectronic device contains at least one of the above four types of film layers, including a first interface layer containing carbon material and P-type semiconductor material, a hole transport layer, a second interface layer containing carbon material and N-type semiconductor material, and an electron transport layer, the external quantum efficiency and lifespan of the optoelectronic device can be improved. At the same time, the above four types of film layers can be arbitrarily arranged and combined in the optoelectronic device.
