Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of layered materials technology, and in particular to a composite material for LED explosion-proof lights and the LED explosion-proof light itself. Background Technology
[0002] Some LED explosion-proof lights use polycarbonate (PC) or acrylic materials for their lampshades. As market competition intensifies, users are placing higher demands on LED explosion-proof light products. For example, some users operate LED explosion-proof lights in high-temperature and high-humidity environments, requiring the lampshades to have defogging capabilities. Aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) film is a widely used transparent conductive film.

However, existing AZO films have low resistivity, which cannot meet the requirement for rapid defogging. Doping with metal elements can reduce the resistivity of the AZO film, but ensuring that the light transmittance of the AZO film does not decrease after metal doping remains a challenge for the industry.

Unless otherwise indicated, the magnetron sputtering equipment used in all embodiments and comparative examples of this invention is the CK450 magnetron coating machine manufactured by Shenyang Pengcheng Vacuum Technology Co., Ltd.
[0030] The specific process for depositing the second layer is as follows: The deposition target is an AZO target doped with Ce and Fe, wherein the Ce content is 0.5wt%, the Fe content is 0.8wt%, the Al content is 2.5wt%, and the balance is ZnO.

The magnetron sputtering power supply is an RF power supply with a sputtering voltage of 10V, a sputtering power of 25W, a sputtering temperature of 100℃, and an argon atmosphere with an argon flow rate of 30sccm.
[0032] The specific process for depositing the fourth layer is as follows: The deposition target is an AZO target doped with La and Ni, wherein the La content is 0.3wt%, the Ni content is 1.0wt%, the Al content is 1.5wt%, and the balance is ZnO.

[0035] The TEM image of Example 1 can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 2 The TEM sample preparation method is briefly described as follows: First, the substrate is polished from one side using methods such as sandpaper. When the sample thickness is reduced to a certain level, the sample is placed in an ion thinning machine for ion thinning, thereby obtaining the TEM sample. Figure 2 It can be seen that a nanocrystalline structure exists in Example 1.
[0036] The transmittance trend of Example 1 as a function of wavelength is shown in the figure below. Figure 3 As can be seen from the figure, the maximum transmittance of Example 1 can reach 87%, and the decrease in transmittance is not significant as the wavelength increases. The transmittance experiment in Example 1 can be explained as follows: From a solid-state physics perspective, the mechanism by which rare earth elements (Gd / La / Ce) and transition metals (Co / Fe / Ni) maintain high transmittance in this multilayer structure through low-concentration synergistic doping (all <1.6wt%) lies in the fact that the 4f energy level of the rare earth elements and the 3d energy level of the transition metals are both located deep within the band gap of ZnO or in the ultraviolet region (>3.3eV), avoiding electronic transition absorption in the visible light band (1.6-3.1eV); simultaneously, the charge compensation effect between the free electrons provided by Al³⁺ and rare earth ions (such as La³⁺ / Gd³⁺) effectively suppresses the deep-level recombination centers formed by transition metals (such as Co²⁺ / Ni²⁺), reducing carrier scattering losses; and dopants with ionic radii similar to Zn²⁺ (0.74Å) (such as Gd³⁺: 1.05Å, Co²⁺ (0.745 Å) ensures a lattice distortion rate of <5%, guaranteeing lattice integrity and reducing photon scattering. The gradient doping combination of each layer widens the bandgap, neutralizes defect charges, and utilizes multilayer interference effects to shift the impurity absorption edge to the ultraviolet region (λ < 380 nm) and compress visible light reflection, ultimately improving the overall transmittance.
[0037] The resistivity of Example 1 is 7.7 × 10⁻⁶. -4 Ωcm, carrier mobility 30.3cm 2 / VS, carrier concentration is 4.0×10 20 / cm 3It can be seen that the resistivity of Example 1 is low, which can effectively ensure rapid demisting. The test methods for resistivity, carrier mobility and carrier concentration of Example 1 are in accordance with the authorized patent CN105931960B. The transmittance experiment in Example 1 can be explained as follows: From a solid-state physics perspective, the synergistic doping of rare earth elements (Gd / La / Ce) and transition metals (Co / Fe / Ni) in this multilayer structure enhances carrier transport performance through a triple mechanism: Rare earth elements (such as La³⁺ and Gd³⁺) stabilize the valence states of transition metal ions (such as Co²⁺ / Co³⁺ and Ni²⁺ / Ni³⁺) through charge compensation, promoting the formation of shallow donor states of transition metals in the ZnO lattice and significantly increasing the concentration of free electrons; simultaneously, the large radius of rare earth ions (La³⁺: 1.06 Å, Gd³⁺: 1.05 Å) locally expands the lattice, neutralizing the lattice distortion caused by Al³⁺ (0.53 Å) replacing Zn²⁺ (0.74 Å), reducing ionized impurity scattering, while the transition metals (Fe³⁺: 0.645 Å, ...) synergistically enhance carrier transport performance through a triple mechanism: Rare earth elements (such as La³⁺ and Gd³⁺) stabilize the valence states of transition metal ions (such as Co²⁺ / Co³⁺ and Ni²⁺ / Ni³⁺), neutralizing the valence states of transition metals (such as Co²⁺ / Co³⁺ and Ni²⁺ / Ni³⁺), reducing the scattering of ionized impurities, while the large radius of rare earth ions (La³⁺: 1.06 Å, Gd³⁺: 1.05 Å) neutralize the lattice distortion caused by Al³⁺ (0.53 Å) replacing Zn²⁺ (0.74 Å), reducing ionized impurity scattering, while the large radius of rare earth ions (such as La³� The size matching (lattice mismatch <6%) between Co²⁺ (0.745Å) and Zn²⁺ further suppresses grain boundary scattering; the gradient Al content and doping combination of each layer (such as the second layer with high Al-Ce / Fe to broaden the conduction band and the fifth layer with La / Co to optimize the carrier distribution) form a directional band tilt, driving the directional migration of carriers.
