Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of materials science, and particularly to a QWLED with a CdSe / PbS / CdSe stacked heterojunction quantum well composite light-emitting layer and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Quantum dots, as quasi-zero-dimensional materials with all three-dimensional scales in the range of 1-100 nm, can control the size, shape, and emission wavelength of quantum dots by adjusting parameters such as quantum dot growth time, reaction temperature, and ligands. Lead sulfide quantum dots, as a type of P-type semiconductor nanomaterial, have an adjustable bandgap (0.7–2.1 eV) and are an excellent choice for wavelength-tunable quantum dot devices due to their low cost, solution processability, and bandgap tunability. Lead sulfide quantum dots are considered an excellent choice for applications such as near-infrared light-emitting LEDs and solar cells due to their relatively large size, but there is still room for expansion in the research on lead sulfide quantum dots within the visible light excitation wavelength range.

[0003] To address the surface defects of lead sulfide quantum dot materials and increase the probability of forming effective composite excitons in the light-emitting layer, researchers have been seeking ways to passivate defects and further improve their optoelectronic properties. Some studies have shown that on the one hand, by forming a core-shell structure and strictly controlling the temperature and precursor concentration during the synthesis of the quantum dot core-shell structure, the lattice mismatch can be greatly reduced. On the other hand, by forming a stacked composite material of lead sulfide quantum dots and other quantum dots, the energy band structure at the contact interface between the quantum dots can be adjusted, thereby improving their optoelectronic properties. (CN114447237A) provides a quantum dot light-emitting diode based on lead-based quantum dots and a block polymer coated on the surface of the lead-based quantum dots, and its preparation method: the lead-based quantum dots are lead sulfide, lead selenide, and lead telluride; the block polymer is one or more of polystyrene-poly(4-vinylpyrimidine), poly(4-methylstyrene)-poly(4-vinylpyrimidine), and poly(3-methylstyrene)-poly(4-vinylpyrimidine). These block polymers are mainly used to repair the surface defects of lead-based quantum dots in order to improve the optoelectronic properties of the quantum dots. (CN114933898A) reports a preparation method of transition metal element-doped lead sulfide quantum dots: first, synthesize an organolead precursor doped with transition metal ions, and use a thermal injection method to obtain a stock solution of lead sulfide colloidal quantum dots doped with transition metals. After centrifugation and purification, lead sulfide colloidal quantum dots doped with transition metal elements are obtained. These lead sulfide quantum dots doped with transition metal elements can effectively reduce the surface defect rate of the quantum dots and improve the optoelectronic properties of the quantum dots. (CN103525416A) provides a green semiconductor nanocrystal for a blue light-excited LED and its preparation method: ZnS / PbS / ZnS quantum wells are synthesized by a water-phase synthesis method, which can emit green light under the excitation of light with a wavelength of 450-460 nm, and the emission spectrum range is 505-550 nm, effectively improving the photoluminescence properties of lead sulfide quantum dots. However, due to the poor lattice matching between ZnS and PbS in this quantum well material and the difficulty in forming ZnS crystal nuclei, the obtained quantum well material has poor consistency. (CN118579830A) discloses a PbS quantum dot-SnS2 heterostructure material, its preparation method and application: this heterojunction is composed of flower-like SnS2 nanosheets and PbS quantum dots, mainly used in the gas-sensing field, and its optoelectronic properties are limited.In addition, the luminescence performance of quantum dot light-emitting diodes ultimately depends on the charge distribution and properties of the quantum dot light-emitting layer, and is directly related to the carrier concentration in the light-emitting layer. Generally speaking, the higher the carrier concentration, the shorter the lifetime of photo-generated carriers or electro-generated carriers in the semiconductor, the higher the probability of Auger recombination, and the more unfavorable it is to the semiconductor luminescence performance. Therefore, the effective photoelectric effect of diodes usually occurs in the depletion region. This kind of stacked heterojunction quantum well composite light-emitting layer formed by means of a stacked heterojunction with a stacked depletion region has a simple preparation process and can effectively utilize the synergistic effect of the energy bands and material conductivity of each component in the stacked interface material, thereby realizing the improvement of the overall optoelectronic performance of the stacked heterojunction.

[0004] In summary, the lead sulfide quantum dot materials and devices mentioned in most literatures or patents cannot effectively passivate surface defects or form an effective composite light-emitting layer in theory, thus affecting the application of lead sulfide quantum dot materials in electroluminescence. However, in this patent, a stacked heterojunction structure is designed and prepared by combining CdSe quantum dots and PbS quantum dots. The preparation process is relatively simple, and the prepared CdSe / PbS / CdSe quantum dot stacked heterojunction has a stacked heterojunction depletion region and a quantum well structure parallel to the light-emitting layer at the stacked interface, which has a significant effect on improving its photoluminescence and electroluminescence performance.

Through the effective coverage and isolation of PbS quantum dots at the interface by CdSe quantum dots, a stable stacked heterojunction quantum well structure is formed. Due to the band bending at the heterojunction interface and the existence of the depletion region, the effective recombination of electrons and holes is significantly promoted, and a higher overlap of electron and hole wave functions is achieved in terms of material properties.
