Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of display technologies, and in particular, to a composite material, a preparation method thereof, and a quantum dot light-emitting device. Background Art
[0002] Currently, the widely used light-emitting devices are organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) and quantum dot light-emitting devices (QLEDs). QLEDs have the advantages of saturated emission light color, adjustable wavelength, low turn-on voltage, good solution processability, easy fine control of quantum dots, etc., and have high photoluminescence and electroluminescence quantum yields. In recent years, they have become strong competitors of OLEDs.
[0003] The structure of a traditional QLED device generally includes an anode, a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, and a cathode. Under the action of an electric field, the holes generated by the anode and the electrons generated by the cathode of the light-emitting device move, are respectively injected into the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer, and finally migrate to the light-emitting layer. When the two meet in the light-emitting layer, energy excitons are generated, which excite the light-emitting molecules to finally generate visible light.
[0004] In existing QLED light-emitting devices, since the surface of the quantum dot material forming the light-emitting layer is usually connected with organic ligands, and the organic ligands are insulating, the potential barrier between quantum dots is relatively high, which limits the transport of carriers inside the light-emitting layer, and further leads to poor light-emitting performance of QLEDs.

[0069] In a further embodiment, the quantum dot light-emitting device 100 can be a normal structure or an inverted structure.
[0070] As Figure 1 shown, a schematic structural diagram of a quantum dot light-emitting device 100 with a normal structure is provided. The quantum dot light-emitting device 100 includes a substrate 70, an anode 10 located on the upper surface of the substrate 70, a hole injection layer 60 located on the upper surface of the anode 10, a hole transport layer 40 located on the upper surface of the hole injection layer 60, a light-emitting layer 20 located on the upper surface of the hole transport layer 40, an electron transport layer 50 located on the upper surface of the light-emitting layer 20, and a cathode 30 located on the upper surface of the electron transport layer 50.
[0071] As Figure 2The following provides a schematic structural diagram of a quantum dot light-emitting device 100 with an inverted structure. The quantum dot light-emitting device 100 includes a substrate 70, a cathode 30 located on the upper surface of the substrate 70, an electron transport layer 50 located on the upper surface of the cathode 30, a light-emitting layer 20 located on the upper surface of the electron transport layer 50, a hole transport layer 40 located on the upper surface of the light-emitting layer 20, a hole injection layer 60 located on the upper surface of the hole transport layer 40, and an anode 10 located on the upper surface of the hole injection layer 60.

[0073] Due to its unique optoelectronic properties, quantum dot light-emitting devices (QLEDs) can be applied to the lighting and display industries. However, the stability and working life of quantum dot light-emitting devices are still key issues facing the commercial application of QLEDs. One of the key problems affecting the working stability and light-emitting performance of quantum dot light-emitting devices is the imbalance in carrier injection in quantum dot light-emitting devices, that is, there are multi-hole quantum dot light-emitting devices or multi-electron quantum dot light-emitting devices. In multi-hole quantum dot light-emitting devices, excessive holes will cause rapid degradation of the quantum dot light-emitting device and lead to permanent degradation of the quantum dot light-emitting device. In multi-electron quantum dot light-emitting devices, excessive electrons will cause a decrease in carrier injection efficiency and lead to the degradation problem of the light-emitting device.
[0074] In related technologies, in order to improve the working performance of quantum dot light-emitting devices, the balance of charges in quantum dot light-emitting devices is achieved by reducing electron injection. For example, an electron blocking layer is provided between the light-emitting layer and the electron transport layer. The materials used for the electron blocking layer include polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyethyleneimine (PEI), alumina, and Cs2CO3, etc. However, with the incorporation of the electron blocking layer in quantum dot light-emitting devices, the internal resistance of quantum dot light-emitting devices increases, which is not conducive to further improving the performance of QLED devices.
[0075] In the research on improving the working performance of quantum dot light-emitting devices, the inventor found that it is relatively difficult to control the carrier injection balance of quantum dot light-emitting devices by using less hole transport layer material and electron transport layer material. At the same time, due to the energy level position differences of the quantum dot materials in different light-emitting layers, it is very difficult to effectively control the carrier injection balance solely by changing the selection of quantum dot materials. Therefore, adjusting the relative injection levels of electrons and holes by changing the structure of the composite material forming the light-emitting layer is crucial for achieving carrier balance in quantum dot light-emitting devices.
[0076] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a composite material for forming the above-mentioned light-emitting layer. In the embodiment of the present application, the light-emitting layer is described by using a composite material with a core-shell structure. The quantum dot includes a core and at least one shell located outside the core. An organic ligand is also connected to the outer surface of the shell of the quantum dot. The core material of the quantum dot is used for light emission, and the shell layer material is used to form a passivation shell layer with a wide bandgap, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the quantum dot. The organic ligand modifies the outer surface of the quantum dot, thereby enhancing the stability and dispersibility of the quantum dot.
[0077] Both the core material and the shell layer material of the quantum dot can include binary alloys, multi-component alloys, or multi-component graded alloys composed of II-VI group, III-V group, or IV-VI group elements. As an example, the composite material with a core-shell structure can include, but is not limited to, one or more of CdSe / CdSeS / CdS, InP / ZnSeS / ZnS, CdZnSe / ZnSe / ZnS, CdSeS / ZnSeS / ZnS, CdSe / ZnS, CdSe / ZnSe / ZnS, ZnSe / ZnS, ZnSeTe / ZnS, CdSe / CdZnSeS / ZnS, and InP / ZnSe / ZnS.
[0078] In some embodiments, the core material of the quantum dot includes at least one of CdSe, CdS, CdTe, CdSeTe, CdZnS, PbSe, ZnTe, CdSeS, PbS, PbTe, HgS, HgSe, HgTe, GaP, GaAs, InP, InAs, InZnP, and InGaP; the outer shell material of the quantum dot includes one or more of CdS, CdTe, CdSeTe, CdZnSe, CdZnS, CdSeS, ZnSe, ZnSeS, ZnS, PbS, PbSeS, InZnP, and InGaP.
[0079] The organic ligands connected to the quantum dots include at least one of substituted or unsubstituted C6-C24 fatty acids, substituted or unsubstituted C6-C24 fatty amines, substituted or unsubstituted C6-C24 aliphatic thiols, substituted or unsubstituted C6-C24 aliphatic thioethers, substituted or unsubstituted C6-C24 aliphatic phosphines, substituted or unsubstituted C6-C24 aliphatic phosphine oxides, substituted or unsubstituted C8-C20 aliphatic phosphoric acids, substituted or unsubstituted C6-C24 aliphatic phosphates, substituted or unsubstituted C6-C24 aliphatic phosphites, and substituted or unsubstituted C6-C24 aliphatic phosphite esters, wherein the substituents of the substituted ones are selected from at least one of C1-C6 alkyl groups, C1-C6 alkoxy groups, and halogens;
[0080] Optionally, the substituted or unsubstituted C6-C24 fatty acids include at least one of capric acid, undecenoic acid, myristic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and stearic acid;
[0081] Optionally, the substituted or unsubstituted C6-C24 aliphatic thiols include at least one of octanethiol, dodecyl mercaptan, and octadecyl mercaptan;

[0084] Optionally, the substituted or unsubstituted C6-C24 aliphatic phosphine oxides include tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO).
[0085] In the embodiments of the present application, by optimizing the material combination structure of the quantum dots, the carrier injection balance of the quantum dot light-emitting device is further adjusted, and the instability of the quantum dot light-emitting device caused by the imbalance of carriers is further improved.
[0086] In a specific implementation, the composite material combination forming the light-emitting layer includes a first quantum dot and a second quantum dot, an anion group is connected to the surface of the first quantum dot, and a cation group is connected to the surface of the second quantum dot.
[0087] Through the electrostatic interaction between the first quantum dot and the second quantum dot, the interlayer potential barrier between the quantum dots can be reduced, which is beneficial to the internal transport of carriers in the light-emitting layer.
[0088] In some embodiments, the number of charges of the anionic group connected to the outer surface of the first quantum dot is configured to be the same as the number of charges of the cationic group connected to the outer surface of the second quantum dot, so that there is an electrostatic attraction between the first quantum dot and the second quantum dot for fusion assembly. Through the process of fusion assembly, the surface defect state of the quantum dot can be repaired, which is beneficial to improving the injection balance of carriers.
[0089] Alternatively, the ratio of the number of charges of the anionic group to the number of charges of the cationic group is 0.8 to 1.2. In some specific examples, the ratio of the number of charges of the anionic group to the number of charges of the cationic group can be 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and the values between any two of the above or the ranges between any two of the above values.
[0090] Compared with the related art, an organic ligand is connected to the outer surface of the quantum dot in the core-shell structure. The organic ligand is usually insulating, making the light-emitting layer closer to an insulating layer, which is not conducive to the transport of carriers in the light-emitting layer. By connecting an anionic group or a cationic group to the outer surface of the quantum dot in the core-shell structure, the quantum dot group structure with the charged group is beneficial to reducing the interlayer potential barrier between the various layers of the quantum dot. The first quantum dot connected with the anionic group has a stronger hole attraction due to the higher negative charge density on its surface. The second quantum dot connected with the cationic group has a stronger electron attraction due to the higher positive charge density on its surface, thereby promoting the transport of carriers in the light-emitting layer, which is beneficial to improving the luminescence performance of the quantum dot light-emitting device.
[0091] In some embodiments, considering the functionalization requirements of the anionic group connected to the outer surface of the quantum dot, for example, the anionic group preferably has a small steric hindrance. The anionic group suitable for connecting to the surface of the quantum dot is configured as an anion composed of a single chemical element. The chemical element forming the anion preferably comes from non-metallic elements of Group V and Group VI. Suitable elements include S, Se, Te, and P, etc.
[0092] In a further preferred embodiment, considering the preparation process of the composite material, the chemical element suitable for forming the anionic group is S.
[0093] In some embodiments, the cationic group suitable for connecting to the surface of the quantum dot is configured as a cation composed of a single chemical element. The chemical element forming the cation includes a metal element or a transition metal element. Suitable elements include Cd, Zn, Pb, Hg, and In, etc.
[0094] In a further preferred embodiment, considering the preparation process of the composite material, the chemical element suitable for forming a cationic group is the same as one of the bulk materials of the quantum dots.
[0095] In some embodiments, the chemical formula of the above-mentioned first quantum dot is QDs / S 2- , that is, S is connected to the outer surface of the first quantum dot 2- , the chemical formula of the above-mentioned second quantum dot is QDs / M 2+ , two negative charges are connected to the outer surface of the first quantum dot, and two positive charges are connected to the outer surface of the second quantum dot. On the one hand, it is beneficial for the charged groups to form a smaller steric hindrance on the outer surface of the quantum dots, so as to facilitate the connection of multiple anionic groups or multiple cationic groups on the outer surface of the quantum dots. On the other hand, due to the fusion assembly of multiple anionic groups of the first quantum dot and multiple cationic groups of the second quantum dot, it is beneficial to repair the defects on the multiple outer surfaces of the first quantum dot connected with anionic groups, as well as to repair the defects on the multiple outer surfaces of the second quantum dot connected with cationic groups, and improve the injection efficiency of carriers.
[0096] The core-shell structured quantum dots are a kind of nanomaterials. The core-shell structured quantum dots include a core material and at least one shell material wrapping the core material. Its core material is usually a metal or semiconductor material, and this structure makes the quantum dots have special optoelectronic properties.
[0097] In the embodiments of the application, the band gap width (Eg) of the core-shell structured quantum dots is preferably 1.9 eV - 2.75 eV. Among them, when the band gap width Eg of the quantum dots is 1.9 eV - 2 eV, correspondingly, the quantum dot light-emitting device emits red light. When the band gap width Eg of the quantum dots is 2.25 eV - 2.38 eV, correspondingly, the quantum dot light-emitting device emits green light. When the band gap width Eg of the quantum dots is 2.58 eV - 2.75 eV, correspondingly, the quantum dot light-emitting device emits blue light.
[0098] In the core-shell structured quantum dots, the conduction band energy level difference and the valence band energy level difference are two important parameters describing the electron energy level distribution of the quantum dots, and are of great significance for the optoelectronic performance of the quantum dots.
[0099] In the embodiments of the present application, the bottom energy level of the conduction band of the core material is called E CB,核 , the bottom energy level of the conduction band of the shell material is called E CB,壳 , the conduction band energy level difference between the shell material and the core material is expressed as ΔE CB,壳-核 = E CB,壳 - E CB,核, the magnitude of the conduction band energy level difference represents the force of electron transfer between the core and the shell. When the conduction band energy level difference is large, electrons are more likely to transfer from the core to the shell, thereby enhancing the conductivity and photoelectric conversion efficiency of the quantum dots.
[0100] In the embodiments of the present application, the top energy level of the valence band of the core material is referred to as E VB,核 , and the top energy level of the valence band of the shell material is referred to as E VB,壳 , and the valence band energy level difference between the shell material and the core material is denoted as ΔE VB,壳-核 = E VB,壳 - E VB,核 , the magnitude of the valence band energy level difference represents the energy difference of electrons between the core material and the shell material. When the valence band energy level difference is large, the energy difference for electrons to jump from the core layer to the shell layer is large.
[0101] The magnitude of the conduction band energy level difference is related to factors such as the energy band structure, the energy levels of the materials, and the lattice matching between the core material and the shell material. In the embodiments of the present application, by finely adjusting the magnitude of the conduction band energy level difference between the core material and the shell material, fine adjustment of the electronic properties of the core-shell structured quantum dots is achieved.
[0102] The magnitude of the valence band energy level difference is related to factors such as the combination of the core material and the shell material, the thickness of the layer, and the crystallinity. In the embodiments of the present application, by finely adjusting the value of the valence band energy level difference of the quantum dots, the energy band structure and optical properties of the quantum dots are further adjusted.
[0103] The conduction band energy level difference and the valence band energy level difference of the above-mentioned core-shell structured quantum dots can both be obtained through experimental measurement techniques or theoretical algorithms.
[0104] In the embodiments of the present application, according to the different relative positions and arrangement modes of the energy bands of the core material and the shell material of the core-shell structured quantum dots, the quantum dots include the first type of quantum dots with the first core-shell structure, the second type of quantum dots with the second core-shell structure, and the third type of quantum dots with the third core-shell structure.
[0105] Among them, in the first type of quantum dots, the first core-shell structure is configured as a non-hole confinement structure, and the valence band energy level difference ΔE between the shell material and the core material of the quantum dots VB,壳-核 ≥ -0.2 eV, and the conduction band energy level difference ΔE between the shell material and the core material of the quantum dots CB,壳-核≥0.2 eV. Due to the large value of the valence band energy level difference between the core and shell of the quantum dots, holes can be delocalized within the core-shell of the quantum dots. And in the formed quantum dot thin film, there are many overlapping regions between the hole wave functions of quantum dots, which is conducive to the transport of holes between quantum dots. Therefore, using more of the first type of composite material inside the quantum dot light-emitting device is beneficial to improving the hole injection level of the quantum dot light-emitting device.
[0106] In the second type of quantum dots, the second core-shell structure is configured as a non-electron confinement structure, and the valence band energy level difference ΔE between the shell material and the core material of the quantum dots VB,壳-核 ≤ -0.2 eV, and the conduction band energy level difference ΔE between the shell material and the core material of the quantum dots CB,壳-核 ≤ 0.2 eV. Due to the small value of the valence band energy level difference of the shell material, electrons can be delocalized within the core-shell of the quantum dots. And in the formed quantum dot thin film, there are many overlapping regions between the electron wave functions of quantum dots, which is conducive to the transport of electrons between quantum dots. Therefore, using more of the second type of composite material inside the quantum dot light-emitting device is beneficial to improving the electron injection level of the quantum dot light-emitting device.
[0107] In the third type of quantum dots, the third core-shell structure is configured as a type-I electron confinement and hole confinement core-shell structure, and the valence band energy level difference ΔE between the shell material and the core material of the quantum dots VB,壳-核 ≤ -0.2 eV, and the conduction band energy level difference ΔE between the shell material and the core material of the quantum dots CB,壳-核 ≥ 0.2 eV. Among them, electrons and holes inside the quantum dots are both confined within the core range. Due to the difference in the carrier injection barriers between the quantum dots and the adjacent electron transport layer or between the quantum dots and the adjacent hole transport layer, there is an asymmetry in the transport barriers for electrons and holes.
[0108] Among them, the first type of quantum dots, the second type of quantum dots, and the third type of quantum dots are mainly based on the valence band energy level difference and the conduction band energy level difference between the shell material and the core material. Then, a suitable binary alloy or multi-component alloy is selected, and by adjusting the component content of each metal element in the binary alloy or multi-component alloy, the bandgap width and energy level position of the quantum dots are further adjusted. Thus, the first type of quantum dots have the characteristics of a non-hole confinement core-shell structure, the second type of quantum dots have the characteristics of a non-electron confinement core-shell structure, and the third type of quantum dots have the characteristics of a type-I electron confinement and hole confinement core-shell structure.
[0109] In the embodiments of the present application, by providing a composite material combination structure with different core-shell structures for different systems of quantum dot light-emitting devices, the injection balance of carriers is effectively promoted, and the working stability of the quantum dot light-emitting devices is improved.

[0132] The process diagram of the anion ligand exchange can be referred to in the appendix Figure 3 as shown. In order to promote the first quantum dots to enter the second organic solvent, the immiscible first organic solvent and the second solvent are stirred under the protection of an inert atmosphere. The stirring time is 1 min to 10 min. Through stirring, QDs / S 2- is completely transferred to the phase of the second organic solvent; the separation and purification method of the first quantum dots includes: washing the mixed solution containing the first quantum dots in the second step with n-hexane. The number of washing times can be two or more times, and precipitation is carried out with acetonitrile to obtain a precipitate, and the precipitate is the purified first quantum dots;

[0143] It should be noted that in the quantum dot fusion unit prepared by the above preparation method, the core-shell structure of the first quantum dot is basically the same as that of the second quantum dot.
[0144] It should be noted that in the preparation process of the above second quantum dot, the first quantum dot is obtained by first performing an anion ligand exchange on the third quantum dot, and then the second quantum dot is obtained by performing a cation ligand exchange on the first quantum dot. Since the surfaces of the quantum dots are all rich in cations but are connected with organic ligands, it is necessary to replace the organic ligands with anionic groups and then perform further operations. That is, it is generally difficult to directly connect cations to the surface of the quantum dots. Therefore, it is necessary to first connect an anionic ligand and then perform a cation exchange to obtain the second quantum dot.

The separation operation of the quantum dot fusion unit includes: preparing a n - hexane reagent. Adding oleylamine and oleic acid to the n - hexane reagent will cause phase - layer separation.
