Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of nanotechnology, and specifically relates to a core-shell structure quantum dot for an electroluminescent device, a preparation method thereof, and an electroluminescent device. Background Art
[0002] Quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) are devices that emit light through direct electrical stimulation of quantum dots. Compared to traditional organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs), QLEDs offer superior color purity, brightness, and a wider color gamut. Quantum dots can be dispersed in organic solvents, allowing them to be manufactured into thin luminescent films using methods such as inkjet printing, spin coating, and doctor blade coating. These thin films are suitable for panels of varying sizes. Therefore, the QLED market holds significant promise.
[0003] A common QLED generally consists of an anode, hole transport layer, quantum dot electroluminescent layer, electron transport layer, and cathode structure from bottom to top. An external circuit injects electrons and holes into the device through the cathode and anode, respectively. The injected carriers pass through the electron transport layer and hole transport layer to the light-emitting layer to recombine and emit light. The electron transport layer of existing QLEDs uses zinc oxide, which has a fast electron migration speed, while the hole transport layer uses organic materials, which has a slow hole migration speed. This leads to an imbalance between the electrons and holes injected into the quantum dot electroluminescent layer, resulting in low efficiency and low brightness. Therefore, we urgently need to optimize quantum dots and change their conductivity to achieve better recombination of electrons and holes, thereby comprehensively improving the performance of QLEDs.

[0029] As described in the background art, the electrons and holes injected into the quantum dot electroluminescent layer of the currently common quantum dot electroluminescent devices are unbalanced, resulting in low quantum efficiency and low brightness of the QLED.
[0030] Based on this, the present application provides a core-shell structure quantum dot for electroluminescent devices, comprising a core body and a surface shell layer, wherein the surface shell layer is ZnS 1-x O x , where 0.1≤x≤0.9. The surface shell of the quantum dot includes three elements, oxygen, sulfur, and zinc, uniformly distributed on the outer surface. The presence of oxygen in the surface shell effectively regulates the conductivity of the quantum dot, allowing electrons migrating from the cathode to remain in the quantum dot light-emitting layer as much as possible and efficiently combine with holes, rather than penetrating the quantum dot light-emitting layer into the hole transport layer, thereby significantly improving the luminous efficiency and brightness of the electroluminescent device.
[0031] This application dopes oxygen elements onto the surface of quantum dots, changing the conductivity of quantum dots. By designing different proportions of oxygen element doping, the conductivity and energy level of quantum dots can be regulated, thereby finding excellent recombination conditions for electrons and holes in the electroluminescent layer, and achieving improvements in the brightness and external quantum efficiency of QLED devices.
[0032] In the first specific embodiment of the present application, ZnS 1-x Ox In the case of 0.1≤x≤0.5, the surface shell contains an appropriate amount of oxygen, which is conducive to the effective recombination of electrons and holes in the quantum dot light-emitting layer.
[0033] In the second specific embodiment of the present application, the mass percentage of oxygen in the core-shell structure quantum dots does not exceed 1%, and the oxygen content is within a reasonable range, making the conductivity of the core-shell structure quantum dots more suitable.
[0034] In the third specific embodiment of the present application, the surface shell is connected to a surface ligand, and the surface ligand includes at least one of a thiol group, a carboxyl group, an amine group, an amide, an organic phosphine, and an organic ester; the surface shell is connected to the surface ligand to make the core-shell structure quantum dots better dispersed in the quantum dot light-emitting layer, which is beneficial to the subsequent preparation of QLED devices. When the surface ligand is a carboxyl group, an amine group, an amide, an organic phosphine, or an organic ester, it is beneficial to make the core-shell structure quantum dots obtain better conductivity.
[0035] The present application also provides a method for preparing core-shell structure quantum dots for electroluminescent devices, comprising the steps of: at a certain temperature, introducing a gas containing oxygen into initial quantum dots to react and form core-shell structure quantum dots, wherein the initial quantum dots include a core body and a ZnS shell layer coated outside the core body, and the core-shell structure quantum dots include a core body and a surface shell layer, wherein the surface shell layer is ZnS 1-x O x , where 0.1≤x≤0.9. By partially oxidizing the ZnS shell of the initial quantum dots, the resulting core-shell quantum dots have improved conductivity, facilitating better recombination of holes and electrons in the quantum dot light-emitting layer.
[0036] It is understood that in the initial quantum dots of the present application, the ZnS shell layer may include several layers of ZnS molecular layers coated outside the core body. When the ZnS shell layer includes a layer of ZnS molecular layers, after the gas containing oxygen is passed into the initial quantum dots, the oxygen will oxidize some of the ZnS molecules in the ZnS molecular layer to form ZnO, thereby obtaining ZnS 1-x O x Surface shell; When the ZnS shell includes multiple ZnS molecular layers, after the gas containing oxygen is introduced into the initial quantum dots, the oxygen will oxidize some ZnS molecules in the outermost ZnS molecular layer away from the core to form ZnO, thereby obtaining ZnS 1-x O x Surface shell.
[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the oxygen content in the oxygen-containing gas is 15-60%, and the oxidation degree of the obtained core-shell structured quantum dots is more appropriate.
[0038] In one embodiment, the gas is air. Using air as an oxidant can reduce production costs and obtain a suitable reaction rate to quickly obtain partially oxidized ZnS. 1-x O x Surface shell.
[0039] In another embodiment, the gas flow rate is 0.1-1 mL / s, thereby adjusting the oxidation rate of the ZnS shell to obtain a suitable oxygen content of ZnS. 1-x O x For the surface shell layer, the gas flow rate is preferably 0.2 to 0.5 mL / s.
[0040] In another specific embodiment, the temperature is 20-100°C. Under low temperature conditions, the oxidation degree of the ZnS shell is better and the surface shell interface is complete, which is conducive to the composite luminescence of electrons and holes in the core-shell structure quantum dots. The temperature is preferably 30-60°C.
[0041] In yet another embodiment, the core comprises a II-VI compound, a III-V compound, a IV-VI compound, a I-III-VI compound, a I-II-IV-VI compound, a perovskite compound, carbon quantum dots, or a combination thereof.

Examples of the I-II-IV-VI group compound may include CuZnSnSe and CuZnSnS, but are not limited thereto. The core is coated with ZnS 1-x O xsurface shell to improve the conductivity of core-shell structure quantum dots.
[0042] In another embodiment, the dispersion containing the initial quantum dots further contains a non-coordinating solvent, and the non-coordinating solvent contains at least one of an aliphatic hydrocarbon and an aromatic hydrocarbon, so that the ZnS shell of the initial quantum dots dispersed in the non-coordinating solvent is more easily uniformly oxidized to form a ZnS with better surface energy. 1-x O x Surface shell.
[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the non-coordinating solvent of the present application is preferably at least one of n-hexane, n-heptane, toluene, and octadecene, which is conducive to partial surface oxidation reaction of the initial quantum dots; the concentration of the initial quantum dots in the dispersion is 10 to 100 mg / mL, and the oxygen reaction rate is controlled, preferably 20 to 50 mg / mL, so that the oxidation reaction rate of the surface shell is more appropriate.
[0044] The core-shell structure quantum dots of the present application are obtained by partially oxidizing the surface of the initial quantum dots. Partial surface oxidation makes the core-shell structure quantum dots more conductive and more conducive to the recombination of holes and electrons in the quantum dot light-emitting layer in the electroluminescent device.
