Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of quantum dots, and particularly to a quantum dot, a preparation method thereof, a thin film and a light-emitting device. Background Art
[0002] Quantum Dots (QD) are nanomaterials with a particle size in the range of 1 - 20 nanometers and having a crystal structure, and have excellent optical properties, such as a narrow full width at half maximum, strong optical stability, continuously controllable wavelength, and high quantum efficiency. They have been widely used in many fields such as display, lighting, solar energy, and biological labeling. Since the size of quantum dots is within the radius of bulk excitons, excitons always exist on the surface of quantum dots, so the exciton state properties of quantum dots are greatly affected by the surface properties of quantum dots. In order to reduce the influence of surface effects on the performance of quantum dots, materials researchers can effectively reduce the defect state energy levels introduced by lattice defects on the surface of the quantum dot crystal core by regrowing one or more shell materials with continuously widened bandgaps or inert inorganic shells on the surface of the quantum dot crystal core, and avoid the loss of energy in the form of light or heat due to electrons and holes being trapped by the defect energy levels in the excited state quantum dots. The coating of the wide-bandgap shell can improve the optical properties and stability of the quantum dot crystal core.
[0003] However, the full width at half maximum of the emission spectrum of existing core-shell structure quantum dots is relatively large, resulting in poor emission purity of the quantum dots. Summary of the Invention

[0037] In some embodiments, the material of the quantum dot crystal core includes InP, and providing the quantum dot crystal core with a ligand connected to the surface includes:
[0038] Step 110, mixing an indium source, a coordinating solvent, and a non-coordinating solvent to obtain a first mixture, heating the first mixture to 80° C.-120° C. (e.g., 80° C., 90° C., 100° C., 110° C., 120° C., etc.), and maintaining the mixture at 80° C.-120° C. for 1 hour to 3 hours (e.g., 1 hour, 1.5 hours, 2 hours, 2.5 hours, 3 hours, etc.);
[0039] Step 120, cooling the first mixture to 20°C-50°C, mixing the first mixture with a first organic phosphorus source and a first phosphine-containing coordinating solvent to obtain a second mixture, heating the second mixture to 260°C-310°C (e.g., 260°C, 270°C, 280°C, 290°C, 300°C, 310°C, etc.), and maintaining the temperature at 260°C-310°C for 1 minute to 5 minutes (e.g., 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 4 minutes, 5 minutes, etc.);
[0040] Step 130, cooling the second mixture to 50° C.-220° C. (e.g., 50° C., 70° C., 100° C., 130° C., 150° C., 180° C., 200° C., 220° C., etc.), mixing the second mixture with an indium precursor to obtain a third mixture, and maintaining the third mixture at 50° C.-220° C. for 20 minutes-40 minutes (e.g., 20 minutes, 25 minutes, 30 minutes, 35 minutes, 40 minutes, etc.);
[0041] Step 140, cooling the third mixture to 20°C-50°C (for example, 20°C, 30°C, 40°C, 50°C, etc.), mixing the third mixture with a second organic phosphorus source and a second phosphine-containing coordinating solvent to obtain a fourth mixture, heating the fourth mixture to 260°C-310°C (for example, 260°C, 270°C, 280°C, 290°C, 300°C, 310°C, etc.), and maintaining it at 260°C-310°C for 1 minute to 5 minutes (for example, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 4 minutes, 5 minutes, etc.) to obtain quantum dot nuclei.
[0042] It should be noted that the above-mentioned method for preparing quantum dot crystal nuclei, by adding an organic phosphorus source, a phosphine-containing coordination solvent, and an indium precursor under low temperature conditions, reacting the components under high temperature conditions, and adding the raw materials in a cycle for multiple times, is conducive to the gradual growth of the quantum dot crystal nuclei, making the morphology and size of the quantum dot crystal nuclei more uniform, thereby making the morphology and size of the quantum dots more uniform, thereby improving the luminous efficiency and service life of the quantum dots. In the traditional method for preparing InP quantum dot crystal nuclei, an indium precursor is usually injected under high temperature conditions, which will lead to problems such as self-nucleation of the indium precursor and uneven growth of the quantum dot crystal nuclei.
[0043] Illustratively, in step 110 , step 120 , step 130 , and step 140 , the components in the first mixture, the second mixture, the third mixture, and the fourth mixture may be mixed by stirring.
[0044] It should be noted that in step 110, the indium source, the coordinating solvent and the non-coordinating solvent are mixed and heated to 80°C-120°C, so that the indium source and the coordinating solvent can react to obtain an indium precursor (such as indium oleate, indium myristic acid), wherein the coordinating solvent is used as a coordinating ligand of the cation and the non-coordinating solvent is used as a diluting solvent.
[0045] Exemplarily, in step 110, the first mixture can be heated to 80-120°C under vacuum (vacuum degree is less than or equal to 150Pa) and maintained for 1 hour to 3 hours, and then an inert gas (such as nitrogen or argon) is bubbled into the first mixture to heat the first mixture to 80°C-120°C. The purpose of vacuuming is to effectively remove low-boiling point organic impurities in the first mixture. Since the subsequent reaction needs to be carried out at normal pressure, the inert gas is bubbled in. In addition, the bubbling of inert gas can also expel water and oxygen in the first mixture to prevent water and oxygen from affecting the subsequent reaction.
[0046] It should be noted that in step 120, cooling the first mixture to 20°C-50°C can avoid adding the organic phosphorus source and the phosphine-containing coordination solvent under high temperature conditions, and can avoid the raw materials from reacting rapidly under high temperature conditions before the organic phosphorus source and the phosphine-containing coordination solvent are evenly stirred, thereby causing uneven growth of quantum dot nuclei in different regions of the reaction system.
[0047] It should be noted that in step 120, the organic phosphorus source is used as the anion source for the formation of quantum dots, the phosphorus-containing coordination solvent is used as a diluent, and the activity of the anion source can be adjusted. After the organic phosphorus source, the phosphorus-containing coordination solvent and indium acid react at high temperature, InP nanocrystals are obtained, and the InP nanocrystals gradually grow into InP luminescent cores.
[0048] It should be noted that in step 130, the reason for cooling the second mixture to 50°C-220°C is that: by cooling, the ripening reaction of the InP luminescent core is terminated, which is convenient for the subsequent replenishment of the indium precursor. At a lower temperature, the replenished indium precursor can be prevented from reacting with the organic phosphorus source in an un-evenly stirred state. It can be understood that by replenishing the indium precursor in step 130, the indium precursor can react with the incompletely reacted organic phosphorus source in the second mixture, so that the InP luminescent core grows further.
[0049] It should be noted that in step 140, the organic phosphorus source and the phosphine-containing coordination solvent are added after the third mixture is cooled to 20°C-50°C, which can avoid the raw materials from reacting rapidly under high temperature conditions before the organic phosphorus source and the phosphine-containing coordination solvent are evenly stirred, thereby preventing the growth of quantum dot nuclei in different regions of the reaction system from being uneven.
[0050] It is understandable that by adding indium precursor in step 130 and adding organic phosphorus source and phosphine-containing coordination solvent in step 140, the InP luminescent core can be gradually grown and the size can be continuously increased, and finally an InP quantum dot crystal core of the expected size can be obtained.
[0051] Exemplarily, the indium source includes at least one of indium acetate and indium halide. Exemplarily, the indium halide includes at least one of indium fluoride, indium chloride, indium bromide, and indium iodide.
[0052] Illustratively, the coordinating solvent includes at least one of palmitic acid, myristic acid, oleic acid, and stearic acid.
[0053] Exemplarily, the non-coordinating solvent includes at least one of n-octadecane (ODE), octadecene, hexadecene, and paraffin oil.
[0054] Illustratively, the first organic phosphorus source and the second organic phosphorus source each include at least one of [P(NMe2)3(tris(dimethylamino)phosphine) and P(TMS)3(tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphine).
[0055] Illustratively, the first phosphine-containing coordinating solvent and the second phosphine-containing coordinating solvent each include at least one of TOP (tri-n-octylphosphine), TBP (tributylphosphine), and DPP (diphenylphosphine).
[0056] In some embodiments, the first organophosphorus source and the second organophosphorus source are the same, and the first phosphine-containing coordinating solvent and the second phosphine-containing coordinating solvent are the same.
[0057] Exemplarily, the indium precursor includes at least one of indium palmitate, indium myristic acid, indium oleate, and indium stearate.
[0058] Illustratively, the molar ratio of the indium source to the coordinating solvent is 1:(3-10), such as 1:3, 1:5, 1:7, 1:10, etc.
[0059] Illustratively, the molar ratio of the indium source to the first organic phosphorus source is 1:(0.1-1), for example, 1:0.1, 1:0.3, 1:0.5, 1:0.7, 1:1, etc.
[0060] Illustratively, the molar ratio of the indium precursor to the indium source is 1:(1-5), such as 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, etc.
[0061] Illustratively, the molar ratio of the indium source to the second organic phosphorus source is 1:(0.2-0.8), for example, 1:0.2, 1:0.3, 1:0.4, 1:0.5, 1:0.6, 1:0.7, 1:0.8, etc.
[0062] For example, after obtaining the quantum dot crystal core, the quantum dot crystal core can be mixed with zinc carboxylate to obtain the quantum dot crystal core with zinc carboxylate connected to the surface.
[0063] It should be noted that the reason for adding zinc carboxylate is that there are relatively many dangling bonds (i.e., uncoordinated atoms) on the surface of the synthesized quantum dot luminescent core. By connecting zinc carboxylate to the surface of the quantum dot crystal core, zinc carboxylate can be used to passivate the defect sites on the surface of the quantum dot crystal core, thereby improving the stability of the quantum dot crystal core, and can improve the adhesion between the shell material and the quantum dot crystal core when the shell material is coated on the surface of the quantum dot crystal core.
[0064] Illustratively, the zinc carboxylate may include at least one of zinc stearate, zinc oleate, zinc myristate, zinc palmitate, and zinc myristate.
[0065] For example, the first solvent includes substituted or unsubstituted C5-C18 aliphatic hydrocarbons, substituted or unsubstituted C6-C10 aromatic hydrocarbons, R1-O-R2 and At least one of the following, wherein R1 and R2 are each independently selected from substituted or unsubstituted C2-C10 aliphatic hydrocarbon groups, n is 0 or 1, and m is 0 or an integer greater than 0; when substituted by a substituent, each occurrence of the substituent is each independently selected from one or more of halogen, C1-C6 alkyl, and C1-C6 alkoxy.
[0066] Illustratively, the second solvent includes at least one of R3-OH and R4-COO-R5, wherein R3, R4 and R5 are each independently selected from substituted or unsubstituted C1-C10 aliphatic hydrocarbon groups.
[0067] Exemplarily, the first solvent includes at least one of dichloromethane, chloroform, toluene, n-hexane, cyclohexane, n-heptane, n-octane, cycloheptane, tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydropyran, dioxane, propylene oxide, butylene oxide, and dioxane.
[0068] Exemplarily, the second solvent includes at least one of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, n-pentanol, and ethyl acetate.
[0069] S200: Mix the first dispersion solution with the second solvent to obtain a second dispersion solution. The second solvent is miscible with the first solvent, and the ligand is insoluble in the second solvent. The process of precipitating the quantum dot nuclei in the second dispersion solution is divided into M time periods, and the outer surface of the quantum dot nuclei collected in one or N consecutive time periods is coated with a shell layer. Both M and N are integers, and M≥2, 1<N<M, to obtain the quantum dots.
[0070] Exemplarily, M can be 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, etc., and N can be 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, etc.
[0071] Exemplarily, the process of dividing the process of precipitating the quantum dot nuclei in the second dispersion solution into M time periods and coating the outer surface of the quantum dot nuclei collected in one or N consecutive time periods includes: sequentially dividing the process of sedimenting the quantum dot nuclei in the second dispersion solution into a first time period, a second time period, and a third time period, and coating the outer surface of the quantum dot nuclei collected in the second time period.
[0072] Exemplarily, when M≥4, it is possible to select to coat the outer surface of the quantum dot nuclei collected in one or N consecutive time periods in the middle of the M time periods. At this time, there is at least one time period before the N consecutive time periods, and at least one time period after the N consecutive time periods.
[0073] Exemplarily, the solubility of the ligand in the second solvent is less than or equal to 0.1 mg / ml, such as 0.1 mg / ml, 0.08 mg / ml, 0.05 mg / ml, 0.03 mg / ml, 0.01 mg / ml, etc.
[0074] Exemplarily, the solubility of the second solvent in the first solvent is greater than or equal to 1 mg / ml, such as 1 mg / ml, 10 mg / ml, 100 mg / ml, 1000 mg / ml, 10000 mg / ml, etc. In some embodiments, the second solvent can be miscible with the first solvent in any ratio.
[0075] Exemplarily, the second solvent includes at least one of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, n-pentanol, and ethyl acetate.
[0076] Illustratively, the volume ratio of the first solvent to the second solvent can be (4-6):(3-10), for example, 4:3, 4:5, 4:7, 4:10, 5:3, 1:1, 5:7, 5:10, 6:3, 6:5, 6:7, 6:10, etc.
[0077] Exemplarily, the quantum dot crystal nuclei collected in the first time period account for 15wt%-20wt% of the total mass of the quantum dot crystal nuclei in the second dispersed solution, the quantum dot crystal nuclei collected in the second time period account for 60wt%-70wt% of the total mass of the quantum dot crystal nuclei in the second dispersed solution, and the quantum dot crystal nuclei collected in the third time period account for 15wt%-20wt% of the total mass of the quantum dot crystal nuclei in the second dispersed solution.
[0078] It should be noted that the principle of collecting the quantum dot nuclei precipitated in the second dispersed solution in the first time period, the second time period and the third time period is as follows:
[0079] In S100, in the first dispersed solution prepared, the quantum dot nuclei can be stably dispersed in the first solvent without agglomeration and sedimentation. This is because the mutual repulsion between the organic ligands coated on the surface of the quantum dot nuclei is equivalent to the van der Waals force, and the ligands and the first solvent are equivalent to setting a barrier between adjacent quantum dot nuclei to prevent the quantum dot nuclei from agglomeration and sedimentation.
[0080] In S200, when the first dispersed solution is introduced into the second solvent to obtain the second dispersed solution, since the ligands on the surface of the quantum dot nuclei are insoluble in the second solvent, the solubility of the ligands in the second dispersed solution decreases, the mutual repulsion between the ligands is weakened, and the van der Waals forces between them are unbalanced. Since the larger quantum dot nuclei have a smaller specific surface area, that is, the surface energy is smaller, the barrier effect provided by the ligands and the second solvent to the large-sized quantum dot nuclei is most significantly weakened, so that the quantum dot nuclei with larger particles gather and settle first, and the quantum dot nuclei with smaller particles gather and settle later. That is to say, the particle size of the quantum dot nuclei collected in the first time period, the quantum dot nuclei collected in the second time period, and the quantum dot nuclei collected in the third time period gradually decreases.
[0081] Illustratively, in the first time period, the second time period, and the third time period, the quantum dot nuclei precipitated in the second dispersed solution can be separated from the solution by centrifugation.
[0082] Illustratively, the proportion of quantum dot nuclei collected in the first time period in the total mass of quantum dot nuclei in the second dispersed solution may be 15wt%, 16wt%, 17wt%, 18wt%, 19wt%, 20wt%, etc.
[0083] Exemplarily, the proportion of quantum dot crystal nuclei collected in the second time period in the total mass of quantum dot crystal nuclei in the second dispersed solution can be 60wt%, 61wt%, 62wt%, 63wt%, 64wt%, 65wt%, 66wt%, 67wt%, 68wt%, 69wt%, 70wt%, etc.
[0084] Exemplarily, the proportion of quantum dot crystal nuclei collected in the third time period in the total mass of the quantum dot crystal nuclei in the second dispersed solution may be 15wt%, 16wt%, 17wt%, 18wt%, 19wt%, 20wt%, etc.

[0236] Quantum dot performance test:
[0237] The emission spectra of the quantum dots prepared in quantum dot examples 1-8 and quantum dot comparative examples 1-2 were measured using a fluorescence spectrometer, wherein: Figure 3 The emission spectrum of the quantum dots prepared in quantum dot embodiment 1, Figure 4 The emission spectrum of the quantum dots prepared in quantum dot comparative example 1, the half maximum width (FWHM) of the emission spectra of quantum dot embodiments 1-7 and quantum dot comparative examples 1-2 are shown in Table 1.
[0238] from Figure 3 It can be seen that the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the emission spectrum of the quantum dots prepared in quantum dot Example 1 is 37 nm.
[0239] from Figure 4 It can be seen that the half maximum width (FWHM) of the emission spectrum of the quantum dots prepared in quantum dot comparative example 1 is 46 nm.
[0240] Table 1
[0241]
[0242] It can be seen from Table 1 that the half-width of the quantum dots prepared by quantum dot embodiments 1-7 of the present application is much smaller than the half-width of the quantum dots prepared by quantum dot comparison example 1. The difference between quantum dot embodiments 1-7 and quantum dot comparison example 1 is that: in the process of preparing quantum dots, quantum dot embodiments 1-7 screen the size of the quantum dot crystal nucleus, and select the medium-grained quantum dot crystal nuclei with relatively uniform size in the middle section for shell coating to obtain quantum dots, while in the process of preparing quantum dots in quantum dot comparison example 1, the size of the quantum dot crystal nucleus is not screened, and all the quantum dot crystal nuclei are directly shell coated to obtain quantum dots. This shows that the present application can improve the uniformity of the size of the prepared quantum dots by screening the size of the quantum dot crystal nucleus during the preparation of quantum dots, thereby reducing the half-width of the emission spectrum of the quantum dots, thereby improving the luminescence purity of the quantum dots.
[0243] It can also be seen from Table 1 that the half-width of the quantum dots prepared by quantum dot embodiments 1-7 of the present application is much smaller than the half-width of the quantum dots prepared by quantum dot comparative example 2. The difference between quantum dot embodiments 1-7 and quantum dot comparative example 2 is that: in the process of preparing quantum dot crystal nuclei, quantum dot embodiments 1-7 adopt the method of adding an organic phosphorus source, a phosphine-containing coordination solvent, and an indium precursor under low temperature conditions, reacting the components under high temperature conditions, and adding raw materials in a cycle for multiple times, which is conducive to the gradual growth of the quantum dot crystal nuclei, making the morphology and size of the quantum dot crystal nuclei more uniform, and thus making the morphology and size of the quantum dots more uniform, thereby reducing the half-width of the emission spectrum of the quantum dots; while quantum dot comparative example 2 adopts a high-temperature injection method in the process of preparing quantum dot crystal nuclei, and the morphology and size uniformity of the prepared quantum dot crystal nuclei are poor, thereby making the morphology and size uniformity of the quantum dots poor, resulting in a larger half-width of the emission spectrum of the quantum dots.
[0244] It can also be seen from Table 1 that the half-peak width of the quantum dots prepared in quantum dot embodiments 1-7 of the present application is much smaller than the half-peak width of the quantum dots prepared in quantum dot embodiment 8. The difference between the known quantum dot embodiments 1-7 and the quantum dot embodiment 8 is that: in quantum dot embodiments 1-7, the quantum dot nuclei collected in the first time period, the second time period, and the third time period respectively account for 15wt%-20wt%, 60wt%-70wt%, and 15wt%-20wt% of the total mass of the quantum dot nuclei in the second dispersed solution; while in quantum dot embodiment 8, the quantum dot nuclei collected in the first time period, the second time period, and the third time period respectively account for 13wt%, 72wt%, and 14wt% of the total mass of the quantum dot nuclei in the second dispersed solution; this shows that when the quantum dot nuclei collected in the first time period and the third time period are in the second dispersed solution, the total mass of the quantum dot nuclei collected in the second time period is less than that in the third time period. When the proportion of the total mass of the quantum dot nuclei in the dispersed solution is less than 15wt%, and the proportion of the quantum dot nuclei collected in the second time period in the total mass of the quantum dot nuclei in the second dispersed solution is greater than 70wt%, the morphology and size uniformity of the prepared quantum dot nuclei are poor, which in turn makes the morphology and size uniformity of the quantum dots poor, resulting in a larger half-peak width of the emission spectrum of the quantum dots; the present application limits the proportion of the quantum dot nuclei collected in the first time period, the second time period, and the third time period in the total mass of the quantum dot nuclei in the second dispersed solution to 15wt%-20wt%, 60wt%-70wt%, and 15wt%-20wt%, respectively, so that the morphology and size of the prepared quantum dot nuclei are relatively uniform, which in turn makes the morphology and size of the quantum dots relatively uniform, thereby effectively reducing the half-peak width of the emission spectrum of the quantum dots.
[0245] Film performance test:
[0246] The performance tests were performed on the films prepared in the film examples 1-8 and the film comparison examples 1-2, and the test methods were as follows:
[0247] The glass substrate was used as a blank control, and the Edinburgh spectrometer was used to test the films prepared in film examples 1-6 and film comparison examples 1-3 and the blank control. After the test was completed, the test spectrum data was integrated and calculated, the integration interval was selected, and the blank control was subtracted from the QDs test result. The result was the final measured fluorescence quantum yield (PLQY) of the QDs.
[0248] The film performance test results are shown in Table 2.
[0249] Table 2
[0250]
[0251]
[0252] It can be seen from Table 2 that the fluorescence quantum yields of the films prepared by film embodiments 1-7 are all greater than the fluorescence quantum yields of the films prepared by film comparison example 1. It is known that the difference between film embodiments 1-7 and film comparison example 1 is that the quantum dots used in film embodiments 1-7 are screened for the size of the quantum dot crystal nuclei during the preparation process, while the quantum dots used in comparison example 1 are not screened for the size of the quantum dot crystal nuclei during the preparation process. This indicates that the particle size of the quantum dots prepared in the embodiments of the present application is more uniform and the shell coating is more uniform, thereby improving the luminescence efficiency of the quantum dots.
[0253] It can also be seen from Table 2 that the fluorescence quantum yields of the films prepared by film embodiments 1-7 are greater than the fluorescence quantum yields of the films prepared by film comparison example 2. It is known that the difference between film embodiments 1-7 and film comparison example 2 is that: the quantum dots used in film embodiments 1-7 adopt the method of adding organic phosphorus source, phosphine-containing coordination solvent, and indium precursor under low temperature conditions in the process of preparing quantum dot crystal nuclei, reacting the components under high temperature conditions, and adding raw materials in a cycle for multiple times, which is conducive to the gradual growth of quantum dot crystal nuclei, making the morphology and size of the quantum dot crystal nuclei more uniform, thereby making the morphology and size of the quantum dots more uniform, thereby improving the luminescence efficiency of the quantum dots; while the quantum dots used in film comparison example 2 adopt the high temperature injection method in the process of preparing quantum dot crystal nuclei, and the morphology and size uniformity of the prepared quantum dot crystal nuclei are poor, thereby making the morphology and size uniformity of the quantum dots poor, resulting in low luminescence efficiency of the quantum dots.
[0254] It can also be seen from Table 2 that the fluorescence quantum yields of the films prepared by film embodiments 1-7 are greater than the fluorescence quantum yields of the films prepared by film embodiment 8. It is known that the difference between film embodiments 1-7 and film embodiment 8 is that: in the process of preparing quantum dot crystal nuclei by the quantum dots used in film embodiments 1-7, the quantum dot crystal nuclei collected in the first time period, the second time period, and the third time period respectively account for 15wt%-20wt%, 60wt%-70wt%, and 15wt%-20wt% of the total mass of the quantum dot crystal nuclei in the second dispersed solution; and in the process of preparing quantum dot crystal nuclei by the quantum dots used in film embodiment 8, the quantum dot crystal nuclei collected in the first time period, the second time period, and the third time period respectively account for 13wt%, 72wt%, and 14wt% of the total mass of the quantum dot crystal nuclei in the second dispersed solution; This shows that when the first time When the proportion of the quantum dot nuclei collected in the first time period, the second time period, and the third time period in the total mass of the quantum dot nuclei in the second dispersed solution is less than 15wt%, and the proportion of the quantum dot nuclei collected in the second time period in the total mass of the quantum dot nuclei in the second dispersed solution is greater than 70wt%, the morphology and size uniformity of the prepared quantum dot nuclei are poor, which in turn makes the morphology and size uniformity of the quantum dots poor, resulting in low luminescence efficiency of the quantum dots; the present application limits the proportion of the quantum dot nuclei collected in the first time period, the second time period, and the third time period in the total mass of the quantum dot nuclei in the second dispersed solution to 15wt%-20wt%, 60wt%-70wt%, and 15wt%-20wt%, respectively, so that the morphology and size of the prepared quantum dot nuclei are relatively uniform, which in turn makes the morphology and size of the quantum dots relatively uniform, thereby effectively improving the luminescence efficiency of the quantum dots.
[0255] Device performance test:
[0256] The devices prepared in device examples 1-8 and device comparative examples 1-2 were subjected to performance tests, and the test methods were as follows:
[0257] The performance of the optoelectronic devices was tested 1 hour after the packaging was completed. The performance test was carried out in an environment with a temperature of 25° C. and a relative humidity of 40%.
[0258] The photoelectric performance is tested using FPD optical property measurement equipment (including Ocean Optics USB2000, LabView controlled QE-PRO spectrometer, Keithley2400, high-precision digital source meter Keithley6485, optical fiber with an inner diameter of 50μm, device test probes and fixtures, various related connecting wires and data cards, efficiency test cassettes and data acquisition systems to build an efficiency test system) to obtain the start-up voltage, current, brightness, luminescence spectrum and other parameters of each photoelectric device, and then calculate the maximum external quantum efficiency (EQEmax,%), power efficiency and other key parameters.
[0259] The device life detection method includes the following steps: under the drive of a constant current (2mA), using a life test equipment to perform electroluminescence life analysis on each photoelectric device, recording the time required for each photoelectric device to decay from the maximum brightness to 95% (T95,h), and calculating the time required for the brightness of each photoelectric device to decay from 100% to 95% at a brightness of 1000nit through a decay fitting formula (T95@1000nit,h).
[0260] The device performance test results are shown in Table 3.
[0261] Table 3
[0262]
[0263]
[0264] It can be seen from Table 3 that the external quantum efficiency (EQE) and LT95-1knit life of the devices prepared in device embodiments 1-7 are greater than the external quantum efficiency (EQE) and LT95-1knit life of the device prepared in device comparison example 1. It is known that the difference between device embodiments 1-7 and device comparison example 1 is that the quantum dots used in device embodiments 1-7 are screened for the size of the quantum dot crystal nuclei during the preparation process, while the quantum dots used in comparison example 1 are not screened for the size of the quantum dot crystal nuclei during the preparation process. This shows that the particle size of the quantum dots prepared in the embodiments of the present application is more uniform and the shell coating is more uniform, thereby improving the luminescence efficiency and service life of the quantum dots.
[0265] It can also be seen from Table 3 that the external quantum efficiency (EQE) and LT95-1knit life of the devices prepared by device embodiments 1-7 are greater than the external quantum efficiency (EQE) and LT95-1knit life of the devices prepared by device comparative example 2. It is known that the difference between device embodiments 1-7 and device comparative example 1 is that: the quantum dots used in device embodiments 1-7 adopt the method of adding an organic phosphorus source, a phosphine-containing coordination solvent, and an indium precursor under low temperature conditions in the process of preparing quantum dot crystal nuclei, reacting the components under high temperature conditions, and adding raw materials in a cycle for multiple times, which is conducive to the gradual growth of quantum dot crystal nuclei, making the morphology and size of the quantum dot crystal nuclei more uniform, and then making the morphology and size of the quantum dots more uniform, thereby improving the luminescence efficiency and service life of the quantum dots; while the quantum dots used in device comparative example 2 adopt a high-temperature injection method in the process of preparing quantum dot crystal nuclei, and the morphology and size uniformity of the prepared quantum dot crystal nuclei are poor, and then the morphology and size uniformity of the quantum dots are poor, resulting in low luminescence efficiency and service life of the quantum dots.
[0266] It can also be seen from Table 3 that the external quantum efficiency (EQE) and LT95-1knit life of the devices prepared in device embodiments 1-7 are greater than the external quantum efficiency (EQE) and LT95-1knit life of the device prepared in device embodiment 8. The difference between the known device embodiments 1-7 and device embodiment 8 is that: in the process of preparing quantum dot crystal nuclei by the quantum dots used in device embodiments 1-7, the quantum dot crystal nuclei collected in the first time period, the second time period, and the third time period respectively account for 15wt%-20wt%, 60wt%-70wt%, and 15wt%-20wt% of the total mass of the quantum dot crystal nuclei in the second dispersed solution; while in the process of preparing quantum dot crystal nuclei by the quantum dots used in device embodiment 8, the quantum dot crystal nuclei collected in the first time period, the second time period, and the third time period respectively account for 13wt%, 72wt%, 14wt% and 13wt% of the total mass of the quantum dot crystal nuclei in the second dispersed solution. wt%; this means that when the proportion of the quantum dot nuclei collected in the first time period and the third time period in the total mass of the quantum dot nuclei in the second dispersed solution is less than 15wt%, and the proportion of the quantum dot nuclei collected in the second time period in the total mass of the quantum dot nuclei in the second dispersed solution is greater than 70wt%, the morphology and size uniformity of the prepared quantum dot nuclei are poor, which in turn makes the morphology and size uniformity of the quantum dots poor, resulting in low luminescence efficiency and service life of the quantum dots; the present application limits the proportion of the quantum dot nuclei collected in the first time period, the second time period, and the third time period in the total mass of the quantum dot nuclei in the second dispersed solution to 15wt%-20wt%, 60wt%-70wt%, and 15wt%-20wt%, respectively, so that the morphology and size of the prepared quantum dot nuclei are relatively uniform, which in turn makes the morphology and size of the quantum dots relatively uniform, thereby effectively improving the luminescence efficiency and service life of the quantum dots.
