Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a nanomaterial and its preparation method, optoelectronic devices, and display apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] Quantum dots are nanoscale semiconductors. By applying a specific electric field or light pressure to these nanoscale semiconductor materials, they emit light of a specific frequency. The frequency of the emitted light changes with the size of the semiconductor, thus the color of the emitted light can be controlled by adjusting the size of the nanoscale semiconductor. Due to the quantum confinement effect and quantum size effect, quantum dots possess excellent properties such as broad excitation spectra, narrow half-width at half-maximum (HWHM), tunable wavelength, and solution processing capabilities. Quantum dots are widely used in optoelectronics, biomedicine, and other fields.

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Furthermore, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for illustration and explanation of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0019] In this application, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" generally refer to the upper and lower positions of the device in its actual use or operating state, specifically the orientation shown in the accompanying drawings; while "inner" and "outer" refer to the outline of the device. Furthermore, in the description of this application, the term "comprising" means "including but not limited to". The terms first, second, third, etc., are used merely as illustrative purposes and do not impose numerical requirements or establish a numerical order.

[0020] In this application, "and / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. A and B can be singular or plural.

[0021] In this application, "at least one" means one or more, and "more than one" means two or more. "One or more", "at least one of the following", or similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of single or multiple items. For example, "at least one of a, b, or c", or "at least one of a, b, and c", can both mean: a, b, c, ab (i.e., a and b), ac, bc, or abc, where a, b, and c can be single or multiple.

[0022] 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 merely for convenience and brevity and should not be construed as a hard limitation on the scope of this application; therefore, it should be considered that the range description has specifically disclosed all possible sub-ranges and single numerical values ​​within that 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, regardless of the range. Furthermore, whenever a numerical range is referred to herein, it means including any referenced number (fraction or integer) within the referred range.

[0023] In optoelectronic devices, electron mobility is typically high while hole mobility is low. This carrier imbalance leads to excessive electron injection, resulting in electron accumulation in the quantum dot luminescent layer. This increases the probability of non-luminescent recombination of electrons and holes, such as through Auger recombination, which results in energy loss and affects the luminous efficiency of the optoelectronic device.

[0024] During operation, optoelectronic devices generate a large number of free radicals and heat. The accumulation of free radicals can affect the normal operation and stability of optoelectronic devices. Without a good way to dissipate heat, the temperature in some areas where heat is concentrated can become too high, which can lead to quantum dot failure or even the appearance of dead dots, seriously affecting the stability of optoelectronic devices.

[0025] The technical solution of this application is as follows:

[0026] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a nanomaterial comprising quantum dots and a complex, wherein the complex is formed by complexing proanthocyanidins and metal ions.

[0027] It should be noted that proanthocyanidins are a general term for a large class of polyphenolic compounds widely found in plants. Their common characteristic is that they can all produce anthocyanins when heated in an acidic medium, hence the name proanthocyanidins. Structurally, proanthocyanidins are a mixture of polyphenols composed of varying numbers of catechins and epicatechins, and they possess multiple phenolic hydroxyl groups.

[0028] It should also be noted that proanthocyanidins are organic compounds whose spatial structure and electron distribution change with interaction with the external environment. Proanthocyanidins have many functional groups, such as phenolic hydroxyl groups, which are exposed to the environment and can easily capture other active free radicals in the form of hydrogen donors. This leads to the generation of negative charges, making proanthocyanidins negatively charged. In the process of preparing nanomaterials in solution, the large number of phenolic hydroxyl groups in proanthocyanidins can release hydrogen ions through dissociation, which can make proanthocyanidins negatively charged. Since proanthocyanidins contain a large number of phenolic hydroxyl groups, only some of the phenolic hydroxyl groups will complex with metal ions. Therefore, the complexes formed by proanthocyanidins and metal ions still carry negative charges.

[0029] The nanomaterials provided in this application utilize surface modification of quantum dots using complexes. These complexes carry a negative charge, resulting in negatively charged nanomaterials. In this negatively charged state, electron injection is hindered while hole injection is enhanced, effectively increasing hole injection efficiency and decreasing electron injection efficiency, thus achieving a greater balance between hole and electron injection. The complexes contain phenolic hydroxyl groups, which can capture free radicals in free radical reaction chains, preventing these chains from proceeding and improving the stability of the nanomaterials. The proanthocyanidins forming the complexes also possess good anti-photobleaching properties, effectively absorbing and neutralizing free radicals generated by light, thereby reducing damage to the quantum dots and improving their stability. The metal ions in the complexes effectively improve the conductivity and heat dissipation capacity of the nanomaterials. The metal ions can evenly distribute heat energy, preventing localized overheating and further enhancing the stability of the nanomaterials.

[0030] Specifically, after the complex captures free radicals in the free radical reaction chain, the phenolic hydroxyl group in the complex can act as a hydrogen or electron donor to react with the free radical, generating a stable semiquinone free radical through a hydrogen extraction reaction, thereby preventing the free radical reaction chain from continuing.

[0031] In some embodiments, the complex carries a negative charge.

[0032] In some embodiments, the nanomaterial carries a negative charge. It is understood that the negative charge of the complex causes the nanomaterial to carry a negative charge.

[0033] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the proanthocyanidins to the metal ions is (3–10):1, meaning the complex is formed by the complexation of the proanthocyanidins and the metal ions at a mass ratio of (3–10):1. For example, this ratio can be 4:1, 5:1, 6:1, 7:1, 8:1, 9:1, or any range between two ratios. Within this mass ratio range, the metal ions can effectively complex with the proanthocyanidins, improving the stability, conductivity, and heat dissipation of the complex.

[0034] In some embodiments, the complex is attached to the quantum dot in the nanomaterial. Specifically, the complex contains a plurality of phenolic hydroxyl groups, and the complex is attached to the quantum dot through at least some of the phenolic hydroxyl groups.

[0035] In some embodiments, the degree of polymerization of the proanthocyanidins is 2 to 10, for example, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9. Further, the degree of polymerization of the proanthocyanidins is 2 to 5; in other words, the proanthocyanidins are oligomeric proanthocyanidins. Oligomeric proanthocyanidins have a lower degree of polymerization, occupy less space, and have a stronger ability to absorb free radicals, which can effectively improve the stability of the composite material.

[0036] In some embodiments, the proanthocyanidins contain phenolic hydroxyl groups, and the mass fraction of the phenolic hydroxyl groups in the proanthocyanidins is 25% to 35%, for example, it can be 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, or any range between two values. Within the mass fraction range of the phenolic hydroxyl groups, the phenolic hydroxyl groups in the proanthocyanidins can effectively complex with metal ions and coordinate with quantum dots.

[0037] In some embodiments, the proanthocyanidins contain multiple phenolic hydroxyl groups, and the complex is formed by the proanthocyanidins through complexation of at least some of the phenolic hydroxyl groups with the metal ions. It is understood that the proanthocyanidins contain multiple phenolic hydroxyl groups, and during the complexation process with the metal ions, at least some of the phenolic hydroxyl groups in the proanthocyanidins complex with the metal ions to form the complex. It is also understood that the proanthocyanidins contain a large number of phenolic hydroxyl groups; some phenolic hydroxyl groups complex with the metal ions, while some phenolic hydroxyl groups remain uncomplexed. The phenolic hydroxyl groups complexed with the metal ions are the phenolic hydroxyl groups of the complex, and the complex can be coordinated with quantum dots through these uncomplexed phenolic hydroxyl groups.

[0038] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the quantum dots to the complex in the nanomaterial is (5–15):1, for example, it can be 6:1, 7:1, 8:1, 9:1, 10:1, 11:1, 12:1, 13:1, 14:1, or any range between two ratios. Within the range of the mass ratio, the complex can effectively regulate the charge state of the nanomaterial, promote hole injection while inhibiting electron injection, promote the balance between holes and electrons, and improve the stability of the nanomaterial.

[0039] In some embodiments, the metal ions include silver ions. Silver has a conductivity of 6.3 × 10⁻⁶ at 20°C. 7With a thermal conductivity of 429 W / m·K, which is much higher than that of other metals, silver ions can effectively improve the electrical conductivity and heat dissipation of nanomaterials. Furthermore, silver ions have empty d orbitals, which make them easy to complex with proanthocyanidins to form complexes.

[0040] In some embodiments, the average particle size of the quantum dots is 5 nm to 15 nm, for example, it can be 6 nm, 7 nm, 8 nm, 9 nm, 10 nm, 11 nm, 12 nm, 13 nm, 14 nm, or any range between two values. It should be noted that in this application, the particle size of the quantum dots is measured using a transmission electron microscope (TEM).

[0084] In some embodiments, the fourth solvent includes a nonpolar solvent, which includes one or more of the following: n-hexane, n-heptane, n-octane, isooctane, cyclohexane, benzene, toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, and dichloromethane.

[0085] This application also provides a thin film, the material of which includes the above-mentioned nanomaterials.

[0086] The thin film can be prepared using conventional techniques in the art, such as chemical or physical methods.

[0087] The film can be prepared using the above-mentioned ink via a solution method.

[0088] Thirdly, please refer to Figure 2 This application also provides an optoelectronic device 100, which includes an anode 10, a light-emitting layer 20 and a cathode 30 stacked sequentially. The material of the light-emitting layer 20 includes the above-mentioned nanomaterials or nanomaterials prepared by the above-mentioned preparation method.

[0089] In the optoelectronic device 100 provided in this application, the complex is bonded to the surface of the quantum dots via phenolic hydroxyl groups and exists on the surface of the quantum dots in the form of ligands. This makes the nanomaterial as a whole negatively charged, thereby making the light-emitting layer 20 negatively charged. Electron injection is hindered, while hole injection is enhanced, thus improving the hole carrier injection efficiency and reducing the electron carrier injection efficiency. This balances the carrier injection in the device and improves the luminous efficiency of the optoelectronic device 100. The metal ions in the complex can improve the conductivity of the light-emitting layer 20 and promote hole injection. The transmission of light increases the probability of radiative recombination, enhancing the ability of the optoelectronic device 100 to convert electricity into light. Metal ions can also improve the heat dissipation capacity of the light-emitting layer 20. By connecting the metal ions with the quantum dots through proanthocyanidins, the thermal conductivity of the metal ions can be fully utilized to uniformly transfer heat to all areas of the light-emitting layer 20, preventing local overheating and improving the heat dissipation capacity of the light-emitting layer 20. Furthermore, the optoelectronic device 100 can still have good heat resistance after long-term operation, ensuring long-term stable operation of the device and extending the service life of the optoelectronic device 100.

[0090] After prolonged operation, the optoelectronic device 100 generates a large number of free radicals, such as hydroxyl radicals and superoxide anion radicals. The phenolic hydroxyl groups in the complex can capture these free radicals, preventing the free radical reaction chain from continuing. Simultaneously, the phenolic hydroxyl groups can act as hydrogen or electron donors, reacting with free radicals to generate stable semiquinone radicals through hydrogen extraction reactions. This interrupts the free radical chain reaction, achieving the purpose of free radical scavenging and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the optoelectronic device 100. The proanthocyanidins in the complex also possess good anti-photobleaching ability, effectively absorbing and neutralizing free radicals generated by light, thereby reducing damage to the nanomaterial's function, maintaining its optical properties and stability, and ultimately improving the stability and performance of the optoelectronic device 100.

[0129] This comparative example provides a nanomaterial, the preparation method of which includes:

[0130] 0.5g of CdSe / ZnS quantum dots were added to 30mL of ethanol and stirred. Then, 2.57g of octyl methoxycinnamate and 2mL of 30% sulfuric acid were added. The mixture was heated to 70℃ and stirred for 10min. After filtration through filter paper and washing three times with deionized water, the mixture was dried in an oven at 70℃ for 10min.

[0133] Table 1

[0134]

[0135] From Table 1, we can obtain:

[0136] As can be seen from Examples 1-9 and Comparative Examples 1 and 3, after the quantum dots are modified with complexes, the electron injection in the semiconductor device when the nanomaterial is used as the light-emitting layer is reduced, and the hole injection and transport are improved, making the electron and hole more well-matched and balanced, which can promote the effective recombination and light emission of electrons and holes. Among them, in Comparative Example 3, the proanthocyanidin coating of quantum dots slightly reduced the electron injection and improved the hole injection, but the effect was not obvious. The electron mobility was higher than that of the examples, and the hole mobility was lower than that of the examples.

[0137] As can be seen from Example 10 and Comparative Example 2, the complex provided by this scheme is applicable to a variety of quantum dots, can promote the injection balance of electrons and holes, and improve the stability of quantum dots.

[0138] Device Example 1

[0139] This embodiment of the device provides an optoelectronic device, the fabrication method of which is as follows:

[0140] Provide ITO glass, use a cotton swab dipped in a small amount of soapy water to wipe the ITO surface to remove visible impurities, then use deionized water, acetone, ethanol, and isopropanol for ultrasonic cleaning for 15 minutes, then blow dry with nitrogen gas and irradiate with UV for 15 minutes to form an ITO anode.

[0141] 50 μL of PEDOT:PSS was pipetted onto the ITO anode and then spin-coated at 4000 rpm for 40 seconds. The mixture was then annealed at 150 °C for 15 min to form a hole injection layer.

[0142] 40 μL of TFB solution was pipetted onto the hole injection layer, and then spin-coated at 4000 rpm for 30 s. The mixture was then annealed at 140 °C for 15 min to form the hole transport layer.

[0143] The nanomaterials of Example 1 were dissolved in n-octane to prepare a 20 mg / mL solution. The solution was placed on the hole transport layer and spin-coated at 3000 rpm for 30 s. Then, it was annealed at 120 °C for 10 min to form a luminescent layer.

[0144] An ethanol solution of ZnO was spin-coated onto the luminescent layer at a speed of 4000 rpm for 30 seconds, and then heated at 130°C for 10 minutes to form an electron transport layer.

[0145] After placing it in the vacuum coating machine, the vacuum is evacuated to 4×10. -6 mbar, magnesium target material is deposited on the electron transport layer by vapor deposition, the magnesium target material is... A 20nm deposition rate was achieved; subsequently, the Ag target was activated, and the Ag target was deposited at... A cathode is formed by evaporating at a rate of 30 nm.

[0146] Packaging yields optoelectronic devices.

[0147] Device Examples 2-10

[0148] Device Examples 2-10 are basically the same as Device Example 1, except that the nanomaterials in Example 1 are replaced with the nanomaterials in Examples 2-10 to form a light-emitting layer and obtain optoelectronic devices.

[0149] Device Comparison Examples 1-3

[0150] The devices in Comparative Examples 1 to 3 are basically the same as those in Device Example 1, except that the nanomaterials in Example 1 are replaced with the nanomaterials in Comparative Examples 1 to 3 to form a light-emitting layer, thus obtaining optoelectronic devices.

[0151] The external quantum efficiency (EQE%) and lifetime (T95@1000nit) of the optoelectronic devices of Device Examples 1-10 and Device Comparative Examples 1-3 were tested, and the test results are shown in Table 2.

[0152] The external quantum efficiency (EQE) is measured as the ratio of electron-hole pairs injected into a quantum dot to emitted photons, expressed as a percentage (%). It is a crucial parameter for evaluating the quality of electroluminescent devices and can be obtained using an EQE optical testing instrument. The specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0153]

[0154] Where ηe is the optical output coupling efficiency, ηr is the ratio of recombination carriers to injected carriers, χ is the ratio of the number of excitons generating photons to the total number of excitons, and K R K is the radiation process rate. NR This represents the rate of a non-radiative process. Test conditions: conducted at room temperature with an air humidity of 30–60%.

[0155] The external quantum efficiency (EQE) was tested once upon completion of preparation (0h) and once after continuous operation for one day (24h). The stability was calculated by EQE@24h / EQE@0h*100%.

[0156] The test method for lifetime T95@1000nit is as follows: Under constant current or voltage drive, the time required for the brightness of the device to decrease to a certain percentage of its maximum brightness is defined as T95. This lifetime is the measured lifetime. To shorten the testing cycle, device lifetime testing is usually performed at high brightness by accelerating device aging, and the lifetime at high brightness is obtained by fitting the extended exponential decay brightness decay formula. For example, the lifetime at 1000nit is measured as T95@1000nit. The specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0157]

[0158] Among them, T95 L For longer lifespan at low brightness, T95 H For the measured lifetime under high brightness, L H To accelerate the device to its maximum brightness, L L The value is 1000 nits, and A is the acceleration factor. In this experiment, the lifetime of several groups of QLED devices under rated brightness was measured, and the value of A was found to be 1.7.

[0159] Table 2

[0160]

[0161]

[0162] From Table 2, we can obtain:

[0163] As can be seen from Device Examples 1-8 and Device Comparative Examples 1-3, using the nanomaterials provided in this application as the material of the light-emitting layer in the optoelectronic device can effectively improve the luminous efficiency of the optoelectronic device, and maintain a high luminous efficiency even after a period of operation. In particular, the metal ions in the complex improve the conductivity of the nanomaterials, giving the optoelectronic device high luminous efficiency and stability. Moreover, the metal ions promote heat dissipation of the optoelectronic device, avoiding local heat concentration that could damage the optoelectronic device, reducing the impact of light and heat on the optoelectronic device, improving the stability of the optoelectronic device, and extending the service life of the optoelectronic device. The luminous efficiency and service life performance of Device Comparative Example 3 are slightly better than those of Device Comparative Example 1, but still worse than those of Device Examples.

[0164] As can be seen from Device Example 10 and Device Comparative Example 2, the complex provided by this scheme has beneficial effects on a variety of quantum dots, which can improve the performance of quantum dots and thus improve the performance of optoelectronic devices.
