[0002] Electroluminescent devices include OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) and QLED (Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diodes). QLED has advantages such as high color saturation, wet-processability, and high stability, which has attracted more and more attention in the research of QLED. OLED has been widely used in the fields of display, lighting, and smart wear due to its good self-luminous characteristics, high contrast ratio, fast response, and flexible display.
[0003] Electroluminescent devices generally include film layers such as a cathode, an electron transport layer, a light-emitting layer, and an anode. Since the electron transport performance of the existing electron transport layer is poor, the amount of electrons injected into the light-emitting layer is small, which further leads to the problem of carrier imbalance in the light-emitting layer, resulting in poor electrical performance of the electroluminescent device.

[0048] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0049] In the present application, "and / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B may represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. Wherein A and B may be singular or plural.
[0050] In this application, "at least one" means one or more, and "a plurality" means two or more. "At least one kind", "at least one of the following items" or similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of single items or plural items. For example, "at least one of a, b or c", or "at least one of a, b and c" can both represent: a, b, c, a + b, a + c, b + c, or a + b + c, where a, b, and c can be single or multiple respectively.
[0051] In this application, forming another layer "on" a certain layer, the so-called "on" is a broad concept, which can mean that the formed another layer is adjacent to a certain layer, or there are other spacer structure layers between another layer and a certain layer. For example, forming a second electrode "on" the first carrier functional layer, the so-called "on" can mean that the formed second electrode is adjacent to the first carrier functional layer, or there are other spacer structure layers between the second electrode and the first carrier functional layer, such as a light-emitting layer.
[0052] Various embodiments of this application may exist in the form of a range; it should be understood that the description in the form of a range is only for convenience and brevity, and should not be construed as a rigid limitation on the scope of this application; therefore, it should be considered that the description of the range 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., and single numbers within the range, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Additionally, whenever a numerical range is indicated herein, it means including any cited number (fraction or integer) within the indicated range.
[0053] Please refer to Figure 1 , an embodiment of this application provides a composite material, including inorganic nanoparticles and a polymer connected to the inorganic nanoparticles, and the polymer contains porphyrin groups.
[0054] Exemplarily, the polymer can coat a partial area or the entire area on the surface of the inorganic nanoparticles, and the ratio between the partial area and the entire area can be 0.1% to 99.9%, such as 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99.9%, etc.
[0055] Exemplarily, the polymer is a porphyrin-based conjugated microporous polymer.
[0056] It should be noted that the porphyrin-based conjugated microporous polymer is a nitrogen-containing compound with a π-electron conjugated ring structure, which is beneficial to electron transfer. Therefore, it can improve the electron transfer efficiency of the composite material. When the composite material is used in the electron transport layer of a light-emitting device, it can improve the electron transport efficiency of the electron transport layer, thereby improving the electrical performance of the electroluminescent device.
[0057] Exemplarily, the porphyrin-based conjugated microporous polymer includes a repeating unit having the structure shown in formula (I):
[0058]
[0059]
[0060] In the porphyrin-based conjugated microporous polymer, the repeating number n of the unit shown in formula (I) is 2 to 10, such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, etc.
[0061] Exemplarily, the preparation method of the porphyrin-based conjugated microporous polymer including the repeating unit having the structure shown in formula (I) may include:
[0062] Under normal temperature and pressure, after mixing tetrabromophenyl porphyrin, p-phenylenediamine, sodium tert-butoxide, 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2,4,6-triisopropylbiphenyl, a catalyst and a third solvent, reacting at a temperature of 100 °C to 120 °C (such as 110 °C) for 40 hours to 56 hours, a porphyrin-based conjugated microporous polymer is obtained; wherein, the molar ratio of tetrabromophenyl porphyrin, p-phenylenediamine, sodium tert-butoxide, 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2,4,6-triisopropylbiphenyl, and the catalyst is 1:(2 to 5):(4 to 6):(0.1 to 0.14):(0.06 to 0.1). Exemplarily, the catalyst may be a palladium metal catalyst, such as bis(dibenzylideneacetone)palladium, etc. Exemplarily, the third solvent may include at least one of xylene, ethylbenzene, xylene, m-diethylbenzene, and p-diethylbenzene.
[0063] Exemplarily, the polymer includes a plurality of micropores, and the pore diameter of the micropores is 0.01 nm to 2 nm (such as 0.01 nm, 0.03 nm, 0.05 nm, 0.08 nm, 0.1 nm, 0.3 nm, 0.5 nm, 0.8 nm, 1 nm, 1.3 nm, 1.5 nm, 1.8 nm, 2 nm, etc.). The total volume of the plurality of micropores accounts for 15% to 40% (such as 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, etc.) of the volume of the polymer. It should be noted that when the porosity of the polymer (the proportion of the total volume of the plurality of micropores in the volume of the polymer) is higher, the conductivity of the polymer is higher, which helps to improve the electron transport efficiency of the composite material. When the composite material is used as the electron transport layer material of a light-emitting device, it can improve the electron transport efficiency of the electron transport layer, and further improve the electrical performance of the light-emitting device.
[0064] Exemplarily, the inorganic nanoparticles are electron transport materials, and the electron transport materials include at least one of metal oxides, doped metal oxides, group II-VI semiconductor materials, group III-V semiconductor materials, and group I-III-VI semiconductor materials; the metal oxides are selected from at least one of ZnO, BaO, TiO2, and SnO2; the metal oxides in the doped metal oxides are selected from at least one of ZnO, TiO2, and SnO2, and the doping elements are selected from at least one of Al, Mg, Li, In, and Ga; the group II-VI semiconductor materials are selected from at least one of ZnS, ZnSe, and CdS; the group III-V semiconductor materials are selected from at least one of InP and GaP; the group I-III-VI semiconductor materials are selected from at least one of CuInS and CuGaS.
[0065] In some embodiments, the inorganic nanoparticles are zinc oxide nanoparticles.
[0066] Exemplarily, the particle size D50 of the zinc oxide nanoparticles can be 0.1 nm to 6 nm, such as 0.1 nm, 0.5 nm, 1 nm, 1.5 nm, 2 nm, 2.5 nm, 3 nm, 3.5 nm, 4 nm, 4.5 nm, 5 nm, 5.5 nm, 6 nm, etc.
[0067] Exemplarily, in the composite material, the mass ratio of the polymer to the inorganic nanoparticles is (1 to 5):20, such as 1:20, 2:20, 3:20, 4:20, 5:20, etc.
[0068] Exemplarily, the composite material further includes a surfactant, and the surfactant is at least distributed on the outer surface of the inorganic nanoparticles. The molar ratio of the surfactant to the inorganic nanoparticles is 1:(2 to 8), such as 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:6, 1:7, 1:8, etc.
[0069] It should be noted that the surfactant distributed on the outer surface of the inorganic nanoparticles can change the surface properties of the inorganic nanoparticles, making it easier for the inorganic nanoparticles to adhere to the polymer, that is, making the binding force between the polymer and the inorganic nanoparticles stronger, thereby improving the structural stability of the composite material.
[0070] In some embodiments, a part of the surfactant is distributed on the outer surface of the inorganic nanoparticles, and another part is distributed on the inner surface and / or outer surface of the polymer.
[0071] The composite material provided by the embodiments of the present application includes inorganic nanoparticles and a polymer connected to the inorganic nanoparticles. Since the polymer has the property of isolating water and oxygen, when the polymer is connected to the inorganic nanoparticles, the influence of external water and oxygen on the inorganic nanoparticles can be weakened or eliminated, so that the electrical properties of the inorganic nanoparticles are kept stable. Since the porphyrin group in the polymer has electrical conductivity, the electron transfer efficiency of the composite material can be improved. When the electron transport layer of a light-emitting device adopts this composite material, the electron transfer efficiency of the electron transport layer can be improved, and the electron injection barrier between the electron transport layer and the light-emitting layer can be reduced, which is beneficial to achieving the carrier balance in the light-emitting layer, and further improving the electrical properties of the electroluminescent device.
[0072] It can be understood that, due to the dielectric effect of the polymer itself, the electron injection efficiency of the inorganic nanoparticles can be flexibly adjusted by adjusting the ratio of the polymer to the inorganic nanoparticles. Moreover, due to the confinement effect of the polymer, the inorganic nanoparticles can be evenly dispersed in the polymer and the positions of the inorganic nanoparticles can be kept relatively fixed, so that the problem of uneven film thickness after deposition due to the agglomeration of inorganic nanoparticles can be avoided.

[0123] Step 11. At normal temperature and pressure, place two monomers, tetrabromophenyl porphyrin (186 mg, 0.2 mmol) and p-phenylenediamine (64.8 mg, 0.6 mmol), in a 50 mL reaction tube, add sodium tert-butoxide (100 mg, 1.04 mmol), 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2',4',6'-triisopropylbiphenyl (11.44 mg, 0.024 mmol), and bis(dibenzylideneacetone)palladium (9.2 mg, 0.016 mmol). Then, under a nitrogen atmosphere, add 20 mL of anhydrous toluene and react at 110 °C for 48 h.

Place the nano-sol in an incubator at 5 °C and continuously stir. Add 10 mg of porphyrin-based conjugated microporous polymer to the nano-sol, stir for 30 minutes to fully dissolve it. After adding, continue to stir and react for 8 hours.

[0134] Device Example 1
[0135] A QLED device, its preparation method includes:
[0136] Step 21: Place the patterned ITO substrate in acetone, cleaning solution, deionized water, and isopropanol in sequence for ultrasonic cleaning. Each ultrasonic cleaning lasts for 15 minutes. After ultrasonic cleaning is completed, place the ITO substrate in a clean oven and dry it for standby;
[0137] Step 22: After the ITO substrate is dried, treat the surface of the ITO substrate with ultraviolet-ozone for 5 minutes to further remove the organic substances attached to the surface of the ITO substrate and improve the work function of ITO.
[0138] Step 23: Deposit a hole injection layer (PEDOT:PSS) on the surface of the treated ITO substrate. The thickness of the hole injection layer is 30 nm, and place the ITO substrate on a heating table at 150 °C for 30 minutes to remove moisture. This step is completed in air.
[0139] Step 24: Place the dried ITO substrate with the hole injection layer in a nitrogen atmosphere, deposit a hole transport layer (TFB). The thickness of the hole transport layer is 30 nm, and place it on a heating table at 150 °C for 30 minutes to remove the solvent.
[0140] Step 25: After the film processed in the previous step is cooled, deposit the quantum dot light-emitting layer on the surface of the hole transport layer. The thickness of the quantum dot light-emitting layer is 40 nm. After the deposition of this step, place the film on a heating table at 80 °C for 10 minutes to remove the residual solvent.
[0141] Step 26: Disperse the composite material prepared in Composite Material Example 1 in ethanol to obtain a composite material solution with a concentration of 25 mg / mL. Spin-coat the composite material solution on the quantum dot light-emitting layer at a spin-coating speed of 3000 rpm. The spin-coated film is heat-treated at 80 °C for 30 minutes to obtain an electron transport layer with a thickness of 80 nm.
[0142] Step 27: Place the film with all functional layers deposited in an evaporation chamber and thermally evaporate a layer of 80 nm of Ag as the cathode through a mask plate, and the QLED device is fabricated.
[0143] Device Example 2
[0144] A QLED device, the difference between its fabrication method and that of Device Example 1 is only that:
[0145] In Step 26, disperse the composite material prepared in Composite Material Example 2 in ethanol to obtain a composite material solution with a concentration of 25 mg / mL.
[0146] Device Example 3
[0147] A QLED device, the difference between its fabrication method and that of Device Example 1 is only that:
[0148] In Step 26, disperse the composite material prepared in Composite Material Example 3 in ethanol to obtain a composite material solution with a concentration of 25 mg / mL.
[0149] Device Example 4
[0150] A QLED device, the difference between its preparation method and that of Device Example 1 is only that:
[0151] In Step 26, the thickness of the prepared electron transport layer is 40 nm.
[0152] Device Example 5
[0153] A QLED device, the difference between its preparation method and that of Device Example 1 is only that:
[0154] In Step 26, the thickness of the prepared electron transport layer is 120 nm.
[0155] Device Comparative Example 1
[0156] A QLED device, the difference between its preparation method and that of Device Example 1 is only that Step 26 is different. In this Device Comparative Example 1, Step 26 is as follows: Spin-coat a zinc oxide nanoparticle solution on the quantum dot light-emitting layer at a spin-coating speed of 3000 rpm, and heat-treat the spin-coated film at 80 °C for 30 minutes to obtain an electron transport layer with a thickness of 80 nm.
[0157] It can be seen that the difference between the QLED device of Device Comparative Example 1 and the QLED device of Device Example 1 is only that: the materials of the electron transport layers are different. In Device Comparative Example 1, the material of the electron transport layer is unmodified zinc oxide nanoparticles, while in Device Example 1, the material of the electron transport layer is a composite material (i.e., zinc oxide modified with porphyrin-based conjugated microporous polymer).
[0158] Performance tests were carried out on the QLED devices prepared in Device Examples 1 - 5 and the QLED device prepared in Device Comparative Example 1. Among them, T95@1000 nit / (h) was mainly tested by a lifetime test system built with a Keithley 2400 digital source meter, a CS-160 luminance meter, and a photodiode detector, and the external quantum efficiency (EQE) was measured by an EQE optical test instrument. The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0159] Table 1
[0160]
[0161] As can be seen from Table 1, the service life (T95@1000nit) of the QLED devices in Device Examples 1-5 is greater than that of the QLED device in Device Comparative Example 1, indicating that the QLED devices prepared in Device Examples 1-5 have a longer service life; the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of the QLED devices in Device Examples 1-5 is greater than that of the QLED device in Device Comparative Example 1, indicating that the QLED devices prepared in Device Examples 1-5 have a higher luminous efficiency; that is to say, compared with the QLED device in Device Comparative Example 1, the QLED devices prepared in Device Examples 1-5 have better electrical properties and stability. This is because the material used for the electron transport layer of the QLED devices in Device Examples 1-5 is a composite material (i.e., porphyrin-based conjugated microporous polymer modified zinc oxide). Compared with unmodified nano-zinc oxide, porphyrin-based conjugated microporous polymer modified zinc oxide has a higher electron transport efficiency, which can improve the electron transport efficiency of the electron transport layer, reduce the electron injection barrier between the electron transport layer and the light-emitting layer, thereby facilitating the carrier balance in the light-emitting layer, and further improving the electrical properties of the electroluminescent device. At the same time, since the porphyrin-based conjugated microporous polymer has the property of isolating water and oxygen, when the polymer is connected to the inorganic nanoparticles, the influence of external water and oxygen on the inorganic nanoparticles can be weakened or eliminated, so that the performance of the inorganic nanoparticles remains stable.
[0162] By comparing Device Example 1, Device Example 2, and Device Example 3, it can be seen that the QLED device prepared in Device Example 2 has the longest service life (T95@1000nit) and the largest external quantum efficiency (EQE), indicating that when the mass ratio of the porphyrin-based conjugated microporous polymer to nano-zinc oxide is 1:20, the QLED device has better electrical properties.
[0163] By comparing Device Example 1, Device Example 4, and Device Example 5, it can be seen that the QLED device prepared in Device Example 1 has the longest service life (T95@1000nit) and the largest external quantum efficiency (EQE), indicating that when the thickness of the electron transport layer is 80nm, the QLED device has better electrical properties.
[0164] The above has introduced in detail the composite material, its preparation method, light-emitting device, and display device provided by the embodiments of the present application. Specific examples are used in this article to elaborate on the principles and implementation manners of the present application. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only used to help understand the present application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of the present application, there will be changes in the specific implementation manners and application scopes.
