Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0028] It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments. The various embodiments of the present application may be presented in the form of a range. It should be understood that the description in the form of a range is only for convenience and simplicity and should not be understood as a rigid limitation on the scope of the present invention; therefore, it should be considered that the range description has specifically disclosed all possible sub-ranges and single values within the range. 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., as well as single numbers within the range, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, which apply regardless of the range. In addition, whenever a numerical range is indicated in this article, it is meant to include any cited numbers (fractions or integers) within the indicated range.
[0029] In this application, unless otherwise stated, directional words such as "upper" and "lower" generally refer to the upper and lower parts of the optoelectronic device in actual use or working state, specifically the drawing direction in the attached drawings; while "inner" and "outer" refer to the outline of the optoelectronic device. The terms first, second, third, etc. are used only as labels and do not impose numerical requirements or establish a sequence.
[0030] In the present application, “layer A is formed on one side of layer B”, “layer A is formed on the side of layer B away from layer C” or similar descriptions can be expressed as layer A is directly formed on one side of layer B or on the side of layer B away from layer C, that is, layer A is in direct contact with layer B, or as layer A is indirectly formed on one side of layer B or on the side of layer B away from layer C, that is, other spacing structure layers can be formed between layer A and layer B. Similarly, “layer A is arranged on one side of layer B”, “layer A is arranged on the side of layer B away from layer C” can be expressed as layer A is in direct contact with layer B, or as other spacing structure layers are arranged between layer A and layer B; “layer A is arranged between layer B and layer C” can be expressed as layer A is in direct contact with layer B and layer A is in direct contact with layer C, or layer A is in direct contact with layer B and one or more spacing structure layers are arranged between layer A and layer C, or one or more spacing structure layers are arranged between layer A and layer B and one or more spacing structure layers are arranged between layer A and layer C, or one or more spacing structure layers are arranged between layer A and layer B and layer A is in direct contact with layer C.
[0031] As used in this application, the term "including" means "including but not limited to".
[0032] As used in this application, the term "and / or" is used to describe the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there may be three relationships, for example, A and / or B, which may indicate: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. A and B may be singular or plural.
[0033] As used in this application, the term "at least one" refers to one or more, and "multiple" refers to two or more. The term "at least one", "the following at least one" or similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of a single or multiple. For example, "at least one of a, b or c" or "at least one of a, b and c" can be expressed as: a, b, c, ab (i.e., a and b), ac, bc or abc, where a, b and c can be single or multiple, respectively.
[0034] As used in this application, the term "gradually decrease" or similar expressions should be understood in a broad sense, that is, it can be a continuous gradual change or a discontinuous change, wherein the discontinuous change can be, for example, a step-like gradual change.
[0035] In optoelectronic devices, metal oxides (such as metal oxide nanoparticles) are usually used as materials for electronic functional layers. However, metal oxide nanoparticles have an "agglomeration" problem in solutions. Therefore, the carrier functional layer prepared using metal oxide nanoparticles as raw materials and a solution method has an uneven distribution of nanoparticles. In particular, when the solution method is an inkjet printing method, nanoparticles are easily accumulated after the ink droplets spread over the pixel area, resulting in poor film quality of the electronic functional layer and poor thickness uniformity of the electronic functional layer, which has a negative impact on electron transmission, and further causes poor optoelectronic performance and device life of the optoelectronic device. In addition, metal oxide nanoparticles are usually synthesized in low-boiling alcohol solvents so that the surface of the metal oxide nanoparticles is connected with a large number of hydroxyl and carboxyl ligands, which can not only passivate the surface defect state of the metal oxide nanoparticles, but also improve the solution processing performance of the metal oxide nanoparticles. When the metal oxide nanoparticles are used as raw materials and the electronic functional layer is prepared by inkjet printing, the metal oxide nanoparticles need to be dispersed in a high boiling point solvent. These high boiling point solvents will change the surface state of the metal oxide nanoparticles. For example, the surface of the metal oxide nanoparticles will chemically coordinate with the high boiling point solvent, that is, the high boiling point solvent can be coordinated and connected to the surface of the metal oxide nanoparticles. The high boiling point solvent coordinated and connected to the surface of the metal oxide nanoparticles cannot be removed by a simple low-pressure and / or low-temperature (for example, less than 150° C.) heating process, and this type of high boiling point solvent usually has poor conductivity, resulting in a large potential barrier between the cathode and the electronic functional layer, which greatly reduces the electron injection level of the optoelectronic device, which is not conducive to improving the optoelectronic performance and device life of the optoelectronic device.
[0036] Based on this, the present application provides a photoelectric device, which can be a positive structure or an inverted structure, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the photoelectric device 10 includes an anode 11, a cathode 12 and a functional layer 13, wherein the anode 11 and the cathode 12 are arranged opposite to each other, and the electronic functional layer 131 is arranged between the anode 11 and the cathode 12. The material of the electronic functional layer 131 includes a metal oxide material and an organic electron blocking material. The electronic functional layer 131 includes a first surface layer 101 and a second surface layer 102 that are arranged opposite to each other, and the second surface layer 102 is closer to the anode 11 than the first surface layer 101; the first surface layer 101 does not contain an organic electron blocking material, or the content of the organic electron blocking material in the first surface layer 101 is less than the content of the organic electron blocking material in the second surface layer 102.
[0037] It should be noted that the "first surface layer" refers to the outer layer of the electronic functional layer 131 closest to the cathode 12, and its thickness is, for example, no more than 10nm, and examples are no more than 8nm, no more than 6nm, no more than 4nm, no more than 3nm, or no more than 1nm; the "second surface layer" refers to the outer layer of the electronic functional layer 131 closest to the anode 11, and its thickness is, for example, no more than 10nm, and examples are no more than 8nm, no more than 6nm, no more than 4nm, no more than 3nm, or no more than 1nm. In some embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the first surface layer 101 is equal to the thickness of the second surface layer 102.
[0038] “The content of the organic electron blocking material in the first surface layer 101” refers to the percentage of the mass of the organic electron blocking material in the first surface layer 101 to the total mass of the first surface layer 101. Similarly, “the content of the organic electron blocking material in the second surface layer 102” refers to the percentage of the mass of the organic electron blocking material in the second surface layer 102 to the total mass of the second surface layer 102.
[0039] In the optoelectronic device 10 of the embodiment of the present application, the material of the electronic functional layer 131 includes a metal oxide material and an organic electron blocking material. The organic electron blocking material is an organic compound. Since the organic compound has the advantage of good uniformity of film formation by a solution method, the thickness uniformity of the electronic functional layer 131 can be effectively improved, and the surface roughness of the electronic functional layer 131 can be reduced, which is beneficial to optimizing the interface between the electronic functional layer 131 and the cathode 12 and the interface between the electronic functional layer 131 and the anode 11, thereby improving the photoelectric performance and device life of the optoelectronic device 10.
[0040] In order to further improve the thickness uniformity of the electronic functional layer 131 and ensure that the optoelectronic device 10 has a good electron injection level, in some embodiments of the present application, in the electronic functional layer 131, the mass ratio of the metal oxide material to the organic electron blocking material is 1:(0.01~0.4), for example, it can be 1:0.01, 1:0.03, 1:0.05, 1:0.1, 1:0.3, 1:0.4 or a value between any two of the foregoing ratios.

[0044] In order to further improve the electron injection level of the photoelectric device 10 and improve the matching degree between the electron injection level and the hole injection level of the photoelectric device 10, in some embodiments of the present application, the electronic functional layer 131 is a single-layer structure, and the content of the organic electron blocking material in the electronic functional layer 131 gradually decreases in the direction from the anode 11 to the cathode 12.
[0045] As an alternative embodiment, in some other embodiments of the present application, the electronic functional layer 131 is a multi-layer structure, and the electronic functional layer 131 includes a first sublayer to an Nth sublayer stacked in sequence, where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2.

Along the direction from the anode 11 to the cathode 12, the first sublayer to the Nth sublayer are arranged in sequence, each sublayer includes the metal oxide material, and the content of the organic electron blocking material in the first sublayer to the Nth sublayer decreases in sequence. It should be noted that in the first sublayer to the Nth sublayer, the material of each sublayer may include the metal oxide material and the organic electron blocking material, or some sublayers may not contain the organic electron blocking material. In a specific example, the content of the organic electron blocking material in the Nth sublayer is zero; in addition, the metal oxide materials in the first sublayer to the Nth sublayer may be the same or different, the thickness of the first sublayer to the Nth sublayer may be the same or different, and the materials of the first sublayer to the Nth sublayer may be composed of the metal oxide material and the organic electron blocking material respectively; in order to facilitate the regulation of the performance of the optoelectronic device and simplify the preparation process, the metal oxide materials in the first sublayer to the Nth sublayer are the same, and the thickness of the first sublayer to the Nth sublayer is the same.

[0069] In the above-mentioned method for forming the electronic functional layer, the electronic functional layer can be a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure, and active oxygen is introduced into the cured film layer so that the organic electron blocking material is oxidized to generate carbon dioxide, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the content of the organic electron blocking material in the electronic functional layer, and the distribution of the organic electron blocking material in the electronic functional layer can be controlled by adjusting the process parameters of the active oxygen treatment (such as the amount of active oxygen introduced, the depth of the active oxygen treatment, etc.), so that the first surface layer does not contain the organic electron blocking material, or the content of the organic electron blocking material in the first surface layer is less than the content of the organic electron blocking material in the second surface layer; in addition, when the electronic functional layer is formed by inkjet printing, the active oxygen treatment can also remove at least part of the high-boiling point solvent coordinated to the surface of the metal oxide material, thereby improving the conductivity of the electronic functional layer, which is conducive to further improving the photoelectric performance and device life of the optoelectronic device. The metal oxide material and the organic electron blocking material are both described above.
[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the cured film layer is 10 nm to 60 nm, for example, 10 nm, 20 nm, 30 nm, 40 nm, 50 nm, 60 nm or a value between any two of the aforementioned values.
[0071] In order to further improve the film quality of the electronic functional layer and ensure that the optoelectronic device has a good electron injection level, in some embodiments of the present application, in the cured film layer, the mass ratio of the metal oxide material to the organic electron blocking material is 1:(0.01~0.4), for example, it can be 1:0.01, 1:0.03, 1:0.05, 1:0.1, 1:0.3, 1:0.4 or a value between any two of the foregoing ratios.
[0072] In some embodiments of the present application, the active oxygen treatment is selected from one or more of oxygen ion irradiation treatment, oxygen plasma treatment and atmosphere treatment.
[0073] In order to further improve the luminescent performance of the luminescent layer, in some embodiments of the present application, the active oxygen treatment of the cured film layer includes the steps of: placing the cured film layer in an ion irradiation device, wherein the first surface layer is configured to be closer to the ion source of the ion irradiation device than the second surface layer; in the oxygen ion irradiation treatment, the energy range of the injected oxygen ions is 0.2keV to 50keV, and the injected oxygen ion dose is 1×10 14 ions / cm 2 ~1×10 21 ions / cm 2 .
[0074] In order to further improve the luminescent performance of the luminescent layer, in other embodiments of the present application, the active oxygen treatment of the cured film layer includes the steps of: placing the cured film layer in a gas atmosphere for atmosphere treatment, the gas forming the gas atmosphere is selected from one or more of ozone and peroxide gas, the pressure of the gas atmosphere is 100KPa to 1000KPa, and the time of the atmosphere treatment is 20min to 300min. An example of peroxide gas is hydrogen peroxide gas. It should be noted that when the gas forming the gas atmosphere is a mixture of ozone and peroxide gas, the partial pressures of ozone and peroxide gas are respectively greater than 0.4KPa.
[0075] In order to further improve the luminescent performance of the luminescent layer, in other embodiments of the present application, the active oxygen treatment of the cured film layer includes the steps of: placing the cured film layer in a processing chamber of a plasma generator, and performing oxygen plasma treatment on the cured film layer using oxygen plasma generated by gas discharge, and the first surface layer is configured to be closer to the ion source of the plasma generator than the second surface layer; wherein the generated gas includes an oxygen-containing gas, and the oxygen-containing gas is selected from one or more of pure oxygen, water vapor, acid-containing vapor and alcohol-containing vapor, the pressure in the processing chamber is 0.1Pa~100Pa, the output frequency of the plasma generator is 100W~2000W, and the time of the active oxygen treatment is 5min~120min.
[0076] The acid in the acid-containing vapor is, for example, one or more selected from hydrogen halide, nitric acid, acetic acid and sulfuric acid, preferably a volatile acid, exemplified by acetic acid. In order to reduce damage to the cured film layer and / or other functional film layers located below the cured film layer, the concentration of hydrogen ions in the acid-containing vapor is 0.001 mol / L to 0.1 mol / L. The alcohol in the alcohol-containing vapor is, for example, selected from aliphatic alcohol compounds having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, exemplified by ethanol.

[0078] It should be noted that when the active oxygen treatment is oxygen ion irradiation treatment, or oxygen plasma treatment (the generating gas is pure oxygen, or the luminescent gas is a mixture of pure oxygen and an inert gas), or ozone atmosphere treatment, the active oxygen treatment only introduces ·O into the cured film layer. After the introduced ·O oxidizes and removes part of the organic electron blocking material, the gap between adjacent metal oxide nanoparticles will increase, so that the density of the electronic functional layer is limited.
[0079] In order to further improve the density of the electronic functional layer, ·O and ·OH can be introduced into the cured film layer through active oxygen treatment. ·O and ·OH can be introduced into the cured film layer at the same time, or they can be introduced in sequence. The introduced ·O and ·OH can fully activate the surface of the metal oxide nanoparticles, allowing the metal oxide nanoparticles to grow and cross-link with each other, thereby improving the surface flatness and density of the electronic functional layer, and can improve the uniformity of carrier transmission in the electronic functional layer. In addition, ·O and ·OH can remove at least part of the organic ligands coordinated to the surface of the metal oxide nanoparticles, thereby improving the conductivity of the electronic functional layer. The method of simultaneously introducing ·O and ·OH into the cured film layer may, for example, be: placing the cured film layer in a processing chamber of a plasma generator, subjecting the cured film layer to oxygen plasma treatment using oxygen plasma generated by gas discharge, wherein the first surface layer is configured to be closer to the ion source of the plasma generator than the second surface layer, and the generated gas is water vapor; the method of separately introducing ·O and ·OH in sequence may, for example, be: first subjecting the cured film layer to oxygen ion irradiation treatment, and then subjecting the cured film layer that has undergone oxygen ion irradiation treatment to water plasma treatment.
[0080] In order to further improve the device life and performance stability of the optoelectronic device, in some embodiments of the present application, the active oxygen treatment includes the steps of: placing the cured film layer in a processing chamber of a plasma generator, and performing oxygen plasma treatment on the cured film layer using oxygen plasma generated by gas discharge, the first surface layer is configured to be closer to the ion source of the plasma generator than the second surface layer, the generated gas is formed by gasification of an acid-containing solution, the solute of the acid-containing solution includes one or more of hydrogen halide, nitric acid, acetic acid and sulfuric acid, the solvent of the acid-containing solution is a fatty alcohol compound with a carbon number of 1 to 10 (ethanol is an example), and the concentration of hydrogen ions in the acid-containing solution is 0.001 mol / L to 0.1 mol / L, which can improve the problem of corrosion of the film layer caused by the introduction of ·O and ·OH in the form of water molecules in the electronic functional layer, thereby further improving the interface stability between the electronic functional layer and the cathode, reducing the interface potential barrier while effectively stabilizing the interface reaction.
[0081] In some other embodiments of the present application, the electronic functional layer includes a first sublayer to an Nth sublayer stacked, N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2, and when the bottom electrode is an anode and the top electrode is a cathode, the method for forming the electronic functional layer includes the steps of: sequentially forming the first sublayer to the Nth sublayer on one side of the bottom electrode; or, when the bottom electrode is a cathode and the top electrode is an anode, the method for forming the electronic functional layer includes the steps of: sequentially forming the Nth sublayer to the first sublayer on one side of the bottom electrode. The structural composition of the first sublayer to the Nth sublayer is described above.
[0082] The first to Nth sublayers can be prepared by solution methods, respectively. As an example, the method for preparing at least one of the first to Nth sublayers includes the steps of: depositing a dispersion liquid including the metal oxide material and the organic electron blocking material; and drying the deposited dispersion liquid to solidify it into a film.
[0083] The deposition method of the dispersion includes, but is not limited to, one or more of spin coating, printing, doctor blading, dip pulling, immersion, spraying, rolling, casting, slot coating, and strip coating. The dispersion medium of the dispersion liquid is, for example, selected from one or more of alkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons, halogenated alkanes, alcohol compounds, ether compounds, furan compounds, pyridine compounds, amide compounds and sulfone compounds, wherein alkanes include, but are not limited to, one or more of nonane, decane, dodecane, terpene, butylcyclohexane, n-octane, n-hexane, n-heptane, n-nonane, n-decane, cyclohexane and cyclopentane, aromatic hydrocarbons include, but are not limited to, one or more of diethylbenzene, trimethylbenzene, propylbenzene, isopropylbenzene, p-toluene isopropylbenzene, butylbenzene and 1-methylnaphthalene or indene, halogenated alkanes include, but are not limited to, one or more of dichloromethane, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride, alcohol compounds include, but are not limited to, one or more of methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, ethylene glycol and glycerol, ether compounds include, but are not limited to, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, furan compounds include, but are not limited to, tetrahydrofuran, pyridine compounds include, but are not limited to, pyridine, amide compounds include, but are not limited to, N,N-dimethylformamide, and sulfone compounds include, but are not limited to, dimethyl sulfoxide.

[0084] The drying treatment includes, but is not limited to, one or more of natural air drying, heat treatment, vacuum drying, laser annealing, electron beam annealing, atomic annealing and microwave irradiation annealing.
[0085] In order to further improve the comprehensive performance of optoelectronic devices, in some embodiments of the present application, when the bottom electrode is an anode and the top electrode is a cathode, before the step of forming the electronic functional layer, the forming of the functional layer also includes the steps of: forming a light-emitting layer on one side of the bottom electrode; the electronic functional layer is formed on the side of the light-emitting layer away from the bottom electrode; when the bottom electrode is a cathode and the top electrode is an anode, after the step of forming the electronic functional layer, the forming of the functional layer also includes the steps of: forming a light-emitting layer on the side of the electronic functional layer away from the bottom electrode; the material of the light-emitting layer includes one or more of organic light-emitting materials and quantum dots, and the organic light-emitting materials and quantum dots are described with reference to the above.
[0086] In some embodiments of the present application, when the bottom electrode is an anode and the top electrode is a cathode, before the step of forming the electronic functional layer, forming the functional layer also includes the steps of: forming a hole functional layer on one side of the bottom electrode; the electronic functional layer is formed on the side of the hole functional layer away from the bottom electrode; when the bottom electrode is a cathode and the top electrode is an anode, after the step of forming the electronic functional layer, forming the functional layer also includes the steps of: forming a hole functional layer on the side of the electronic functional layer away from the bottom electrode.
[0087] Furthermore, when the optoelectronic device is a light-emitting device, before the step of forming the light-emitting layer, the method for preparing the optoelectronic device further includes the step of: forming a hole functional layer on one side of the bottom electrode, and the light-emitting layer is formed on the side of the hole functional layer away from the bottom electrode; or, when the bottom electrode is a cathode and the top electrode is an anode, after the step of forming the light-emitting layer and before the step of forming the top electrode, the method for preparing the optoelectronic device further includes the step of: forming a hole functional layer on the side of the light-emitting layer away from the bottom electrode, and the top electrode is formed on the side of the hole functional layer away from the light-emitting layer.

[0089] After the preparation of each film layer of the optoelectronic device is completed, a packaging process is required. The packaging process can be performed by a commonly used machine packaging or manual packaging. In the packaging process environment, the oxygen content and the water content are both lower than 0.1ppm to ensure the stability of the optoelectronic device. It should be noted that in existing optoelectronic devices, organic acid resins (such as acrylic resins) are common optoelectronic device packaging materials. When the material of the electronic functional layer in the optoelectronic device includes a metal oxide, the organic acid resin causes the metal oxide to react continuously with the cathode, and the optoelectronic device exhibits a "positive aging effect" in the short term. However, there are a large number of hydroxyl ligands on the surface of the metal oxide, and the hydroxyl ligands also react continuously with the organic acid to generate water, resulting in a rapid attenuation of the device efficiency and device life of the optoelectronic device. Therefore, in order to further improve the performance stability of the optoelectronic device, in some embodiments of the present application, an acid-free organic packaging resin (such as an acid-free epoxy resin) is used for packaging.

[0153]
[0154] From Table 1, Figure 3 and Figure 4 It can be seen that for the photoelectric device of the upright structure, compared with the photoelectric device in comparative example 1, the comprehensive performance of the photoelectric devices in Examples 1 to 9 has significant advantages, which is specifically manifested as follows: the CE max and L max Taking Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 as examples, the L max is the L of the optoelectronic device in Comparative Example 1 max The T95 of the optoelectronic device in Example 1 is 1.6 times that of the optoelectronic device in Comparative Example 1, T95 of the optoelectronic device in Example 1 is 3.1 times that of the T95 of the optoelectronic device in Comparative Example 1, and T95@1000nit of the optoelectronic device in Example 1 is 6.8 times that of the T95@1000nit of the optoelectronic device in Comparative Example 1.

On the one hand, it can effectively reduce the barrier between the electronic functional layer and the cathode, promote the injection of electrons from the cathode to the electronic functional layer, and effectively improve the electron injection level of the optoelectronic device; on the other hand, a certain electron injection barrier is provided between the electronic functional layer and the light-emitting layer, which can slow down the rate of electron injection into the light-emitting layer, thereby promoting the electron-hole transfer balance of the optoelectronic device, and then improving the optoelectronic performance and device life of the optoelectronic device. Further, along the direction from the anode to the cathode, the content of the organic electron blocking material in the electronic functional layer gradually decreases, which can form a gradual electron injection barrier, which is conducive to further improving the optoelectronic performance and device life of the optoelectronic device.
