Detailed implementation manners
[0054] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying 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 in 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.
[0055] In the present application, "and / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects and indicates that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B may indicate: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, or B exists alone. Where A and B may be singular or plural.
[0056] In the present application, forming another layer "on" a certain layer, the so-called "on" is a broad concept, which may mean that the formed another layer is adjacent to a certain layer, or there may be other spacer structure layers between another layer and a certain layer. For example, forming a cathode "on" the first carrier functional layer, the so-called "on" may mean that the formed cathode is adjacent to the first carrier functional layer, or there may be other spacer structure layers between the cathode and the first carrier functional layer, such as a light-emitting layer.
[0057] It should be noted that electroluminescent devices can be divided into single-layer devices and stacked devices. In a single-layer device, only one light-emitting layer is provided, while in a stacked device, usually two or more light-emitting layers are provided. Among them, an electron generation layer and a hole generation layer are usually provided between two adjacent light-emitting layers. After the electron generation layer is prepared, other functional film layers usually need to be prepared above the electron generation layer. During the preparation process, the solvent of other functional film layers is likely to penetrate into the electron generation layer, resulting in cracking of the electron generation layer, thereby causing a decrease in the electrical properties of the electron generation layer and further causing a decrease in the performance of the stacked device. To solve this technical problem, the embodiments of the present application provide a thin film, which can be applied to a stacked device to replace the traditional electron generation layer, and this thin film is not prone to crack phenomenon, so the electrical properties of the stacked device can be improved.
[0058] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the embodiments of the present application provide a thin film 61, which includes a modifying material and an N-type semiconductor material, and the modifying material includes at least one of alginate and alginate derivatives.
[0059] Exemplarily, the alginate includes at least one of sodium alginate, calcium alginate, ammonium alginate, and calcium sodium alginate.
[0060] The alginate derivative includes at least one of propylene glycol alginate and sodium alginate sulfate.
[0061] Exemplarily, the material of the thin film is composed of the N-type semiconductor material and the modifying material.
[0062] Please combine Figure 1 , in some embodiments, the thin film is a single-layer structure. At this time, the material of the thin film 61 is a mixture of a modifying material and an N-type semiconductor material, wherein the mass ratio of the modifying material to the N-type semiconductor material is 1:(5 - 50), such as 1:5, 1:10, 1:15, 1:20, 1:25, 1:30, 1:35, 1:40, 1:45, 1:50, etc.
[0063] It should be noted that when the material of the thin film 61 is a mixture, by mixing the modifying material and the N-type semiconductor material, the modifying material (alginate and / or alginate derivative) can be used to connect multiple N-type semiconductor materials together through the complexation with metal elements in the N-type semiconductor material, thereby improving the structural stability of the thin film 61 and avoiding phenomena such as cracks.
[0064] Please combine Figure 2, in some embodiments, the thin film 61 includes a second sub-layer 612 and a first sub-layer 611 arranged in a stacked manner. The material of the first sub-layer 611 includes the modifying material, and the material of the second sub-layer 612 includes the N-type semiconductor material. The thickness ratio of the first sub-layer 611 to the second sub-layer 612 is 1:(5 - 50), such as 1:5, 1:10, 1:15, 1:20, 1:25, 1:30, 1:35, 1:40, 1:45, 1:50, etc.
[0065] It should be noted that when the thin film 61 includes a second sub-layer 612 and a first sub-layer 611 arranged in a stacked manner, when preparing the thin film 61, the second sub-layer 612 is usually prepared first and then the first sub-layer 611. The preparation method of the first sub-layer 611 is usually: coating the modifying material solution on the second sub-layer 612. At this time, some of the modifying materials in the modifying material solution will penetrate into the second sub-layer 612, so that the N-type semiconductor material in the second sub-layer 612 can still be connected by the modifying material. And at the interface between the second sub-layer 612 and the first sub-layer 611, the N-type semiconductor material on the surface of the second sub-layer 612 forms a stable connection with the first sub-layer 611 through complexation, so that the second sub-layer 612 is not prone to cracking, thereby improving the structural stability of the second sub-layer 612.
[0066] Exemplarily, the N-type semiconductor material includes at least one of metal oxides, doped metal oxides, II-VI group semiconductor materials, III-V group semiconductor materials, and I-III-VI group semiconductor materials; the metal oxide is selected from at least one of ZnO, BaO, TiO2, and SnO2; the metal oxide in the doped metal oxide is selected from at least one of ZnO, TiO2, and SnO2, and the doping element is selected from at least one of Al, Mg, Li, In, and Ga; the II-VI group semiconductor material is selected from at least one of ZnS, ZnSe, and CdS; the III-V group semiconductor material is selected from at least one of InP and GaP; the I-III-VI group semiconductor material is selected from at least one of CuInS and CuGaS.
[0067] Exemplarily, the thickness of the thin film 61 is 10nm - 50nm, such as 10nm, 15nm, 20nm, 25nm, 30nm, 35nm, 40nm, 45nm, 50nm, etc.
[0068] In summary, the thin film 61 provided in the embodiment of the present application can be used as an electron generation layer in a stacked device. By adding a modifying material to the thin film 61, the modifying material includes at least one of alginate and alginate derivatives. Since alginate and alginate derivatives can form a cross-linked gel with a quasi-three-dimensional network structure under the attraction of intermolecular forces, that is to say, alginate and alginate derivatives have a relatively stable structure themselves. Moreover, alginate and alginate derivatives can combine with metal elements on the surface of the N-type semiconductor material to form a stable complex, so that the inorganic particles in the thin film 61 can be connected to form a stable structure, which can improve the density of the thin film 61 and enhance the solvent resistance of the thin film 61, thereby improving or eliminating the crack phenomenon of the thin film 61. When the thin film 61 is applied to a stacked device, it can improve the electrical performance of the stacked device; and there is usually a problem of excessive electron injection in the light-emitting layer in the existing stacked devices. However, the thin film 61 in the embodiment of the present application by adding alginate and / or alginate derivatives, since the negative ions in alginate and alginate derivatives will form a local negative electric field with the injected electrons to block electron injection, thereby enabling the holes and electrons injected into the light-emitting layer to achieve electrical balance and improving the device efficiency.
[0069] It should be noted that "enhancing the solvent resistance of the thin film 61" means that when the thin film 61 is applied to an optoelectronic device, after the thin film 61 is formed into a film, when forming other functional film layers above the thin film 61 by the coating method, the crack phenomenon caused by the thin film 61 being dissolved by the solvent in other functional film layers can be avoided.
[0070] Please refer to Figure 3 , and at the same time combine Figure 1 , the embodiment of the present application also provides a method for preparing a thin film, including:
[0071] S110, providing a composite material solution, the composite material solution includes a modifying material, an N-type semiconductor material, and a first solvent, and the modifying material includes at least one of alginate and alginate derivatives.
[0072] Exemplarily, in the composite material solution, the concentration of the modifying material is 1 mg / ml to 5 mg / ml (such as 1 mg / ml, 2 mg / ml, 3 mg / ml, 4 mg / ml, 5 mg / ml, etc.), and the concentration of the N-type semiconductor material is 10 mg / ml to 50 mg / ml (such as 10 mg / ml, 15 mg / ml, 20 mg / ml, 25 mg / ml, 30 mg / ml, 35 mg / ml, 40 mg / ml, 45 mg / ml, 50 mg / ml, etc.).
[0073] It should be noted that the reason for setting the concentration of the N-type semiconductor material in the composite material solution to 10 mg / ml to 50 mg / ml is as follows: when the concentration of the N-type semiconductor material is greater than 50 mg / ml, due to the too high concentration, it will accelerate the collision of the N-type semiconductor material in the solution, and the phenomenon of agglomeration of the N-type semiconductor material is more likely to occur. When the concentration of the N-type semiconductor material is less than 10 mg / ml, due to the low concentration, the thickness of the second sub-layer 612 prepared will be too thin and the film thickness will be uneven.
[0074] It should be noted that the reason for setting the concentration of the modifying material in the composite material solution to 1 mg / ml to 5 mg / ml is as follows: when the concentration of the modifying material is greater than 5 mg / ml, due to the too high concentration of the modifying material and its poor electrical conductivity, it is easy to cause poor electrical conductivity of the prepared thin film 61; when the concentration of the modifying material is less than 1 mg / ml, due to the too low concentration, it is easy to cause the N-type semiconductor material to not be effectively connected, so that a stable structural system cannot be formed, and thus the effect of improving the structural stability of the thin film 61 cannot be achieved.
[0075] Exemplarily, the first solvent in the composite material solution includes at least one of water, alcohol compounds, acetone, and tetrahydrofuran; exemplarily, the alcohol compounds may include at least one of methanol, ethanol, isobutanol, isopropanol, and butanol; in some embodiments, the first solvent is a mixture of an alcohol compound and water, wherein the mass ratio of the alcohol compound to water is (3 to 19):1, such as 3:1, 5:1, 8:1, 10:1, 13:1, 15:1, 19:1, etc.
[0076] S120, deposit the composite material solution to obtain a first wet film layer, and perform annealing treatment on the first wet film layer to obtain the thin film 61.
[0077] Exemplarily, when performing annealing treatment on the first wet film layer, the annealing temperature is 80°C to 120°C (such as 80°C, 90°C, 100°C, 110°C, 120°C, etc.), and the annealing time is 5 minutes to 10 minutes (such as 5 minutes, 6 minutes, 7 minutes, 8 minutes, 9 minutes, 10 minutes, etc.).
[0078] It should be noted that the reason for selecting the annealing temperature to be 80°C to 120°C is as follows: when the annealing temperature is higher than 120°C, the ligands on the surface of the N-type semiconductor material (such as zinc oxide nanoparticles) will be inactivated, increasing the steric hindrance and reducing the electron transport efficiency. When the annealing temperature is lower than 80°C, it will cause the solvent in the thin film 61 to not be completely removed, and when preparing other functional thin films on the thin film 61 later, the material of the thin film 61 will be washed away.
[0079] Please refer to Figure 4 and at the same time combineFigure 2 , The embodiments of the present application further provide a method for preparing a thin film, including:
[0080] S210, Provide an N-type semiconductor material solution, the N-type semiconductor material solution includes an N-type semiconductor material and a second solvent, deposit the N-type semiconductor material solution to obtain a second wet film layer, and perform annealing treatment on the second wet film layer to obtain a second sub-layer 612.
[0081] Exemplarily, in the N-type semiconductor material solution, the concentration of the N-type semiconductor material is 10 mg / ml to 50 mg / ml (such as 10 mg / ml, 15 mg / ml, 20 mg / ml, 25 mg / ml, 30 mg / ml, 35 mg / ml, 40 mg / ml, 45 mg / ml, 50 mg / ml, etc.).

When the concentration of the N-type semiconductor material is less than 10 mg / ml, due to the low concentration, the thickness of the obtained second sub-layer 612 will be too thin and the film thickness will be uneven.

[0200] In step 24, a thin film (electron generation layer) is prepared on the first light-emitting layer by using the method of Thin Film Comparative Example 1.
[0201] The optoelectronic devices prepared in Device Examples 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and Device Comparative Example 1 were photographed under an electron microscope, and the photos of the optoelectronic devices in Device Example 1 are as Figure 6 shown, the photos of the optoelectronic devices in Device Example 2 are as Figure 7 shown, the photos of the optoelectronic devices in Device Example 3 are as Figure 8 shown, the photos of the optoelectronic devices in Device Example 5 are as Figure 9 shown, the photos of the optoelectronic devices in Device Example 6 are as Figure 10 shown, the photos of the optoelectronic devices in Device Comparative Example 1 are as Figure 11 shown. It can be seen that Device Examples 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 ( Figures 6 to 10)The structure of each film layer of the optoelectronic device is complete, which indicates that the structure of the thin film (electron generation layer) is complete and no crack phenomenon appears. However, for the optoelectronic device in Comparative Example 1 of the device ( Figure 11 )serious cracks appear in the optoelectronic device, indicating that serious crack defects have occurred in the thin film (electron generation layer).
[0202] The optoelectronic devices prepared in Device Examples 1-10 and Device Comparative Example 1 were tested. Using the Fosida FPD optical property measurement equipment, an efficiency test system built by controlling a QE PRO spectrometer, a Keithley 2400, and a Keithley 6485 through LabView, parameters such as voltage, current, and brightness were measured, and the luminous efficiency CE was obtained through calculation. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0205]
[0206] As can be seen from the above table, the morphologies of the optoelectronic devices in Device Examples 1-10 are normal, while cracks appear in the optoelectronic device of Device Comparative Example 1. Considering that the only difference between Device Examples 1-10 and Device Comparative Example 1 lies in the material and manufacturing method of the thin film (electron generation layer), the thin film (electron generation layer) in Device Examples 1-10 of the present application includes ZMO (magnesium-doped zinc oxide) nanoparticles and a modifying material (sodium alginate), while the thin film (electron generation layer) of Device Comparative Example 1 is only composed of ZMO (magnesium-doped zinc oxide) nanoparticles. This shows that the difference in the morphologies of the optoelectronic devices in Device Examples 1-10 and Device Comparative Example 1 lies in the difference in the morphology of the thin film (electron generation layer). From Figure 11 it can be clearly seen that there are many obvious cracks in the thin film (electron generation layer) of the optoelectronic device in Device Comparative Example 1. By comparing the luminous efficiencies of the optoelectronic devices in Device Examples 1-10 and Device Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that the luminous efficiency of the optoelectronic device in Device Comparative Example 1 is lower, indicating that the cracks on the thin film (electron generation layer) have a significant impact on the electrical performance of the optoelectronic device.
[0207] By comparing Device Example 1-4 with Device Example 5, it can be seen that although there is no obvious difference in the morphology of the optoelectronic devices between Device Example 5 and those of Device Example 1-4, and no crack phenomenon appears, however, the luminous efficiency of the optoelectronic device of Device Example 5 is significantly lower than that of the optoelectronic devices of Device Example 1-4. It is known that the difference between Device Example 1 and Device Example 5 lies in that: in Device Example 1-4, the mass ratio of the modifying material (sodium alginate) to the ZMO nanoparticles in the thin film (electron generation layer) is 1:(5-30), while in Device Example 5, the mass ratio of the modifying material (sodium alginate) to the ZMO nanoparticles in the thin film (electron generation layer) is 1:3.75. This shows that the content of the modifying material (sodium alginate) in the thin film (electron generation layer) prepared in Device Example 5 is too high. When the content of the modifying material (sodium alginate) in the thin film is too high, due to the poor conductivity of the modifying material (sodium alginate), the conductivity of the thin film (electron generation layer) will be poor, thereby affecting the luminous efficiency of the optoelectronic device. By controlling the mass ratio of the modifying material (sodium alginate) to the ZMO nanoparticles in the thin film (electron generation layer) within 1:(5-30) in this application, it is possible to improve the density and solvent resistance of the thin film (electron generation layer) while avoiding the influence on the electrical properties of the thin film (electron generation layer).
