[0030] Currently, optoelectronic devices are electron-injection-biased devices, meaning that electron injection is excessive. Improving the hole transport capability of hole transport materials is crucial for regulating the charge balance and improving the efficiency of optoelectronic devices. There are two main approaches to address this issue: firstly, providing hole transport materials with deeper HOMO levels that can effectively match the valence band of the emissive layer material, thus lowering the hole injection barrier and facilitating greater hole injection; secondly, providing materials with higher hole mobility to promote efficient hole transport. Existing hole transport materials require excessively high heat treatment temperatures for crosslinking, typically exceeding 200°C. However, materials for the hole injection layer, such as poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-polystyrene sulfonic acid (PEDOT:PSS), located between the anode and hole transport layer, typically have a heat treatment temperature of only 150°C. Excessively high heat treatment temperatures for the hole transport layer can lead to instability or even decomposition of the hole injection layer material, causing carrier imbalance and energy level mismatch, resulting in decreased device performance.
[0031] 4,4'-Di(9-carbazole)biphenyl (CBP) is a hole transport material in the prior art. It has a deep HOMO energy level and a high hole mobility. However, its crosslinking temperature is around 210℃. This high crosslinking temperature will damage other film layers, and the density of the film after crosslinking treatment is poor, resulting in poor photoelectric efficiency and lifespan of optoelectronic devices.
[0032] The technical solution of this application is as follows:
[0033] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide an organic compound, the structural formula of which is shown below:
[0034]
[0035] Among them, L1 and L2 are each independently selected from single-bonded, substituted, or unsubstituted C1 to C2 bonds. 40 Alkylene, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C 20 Etheryl group, substituted or unsubstituted arylene group, substituted or unsubstituted aryleneoxy group, substituted or unsubstituted arylene thio group, substituted or unsubstituted -(CH2) n1 CO(CH2) n2 -, substituted or unsubstituted -(CH2) n3 NHCO(CH2) n4 -, substituted or unsubstituted -(CH2) n5 CONH(CH2) n6 -, substituted or unsubstituted -(CH2) n7 COO(CH2) n8 -, substituted or unsubstituted -(CH2) n9One or more combinations of C(NH)-; wherein n1 to n9 are each independently selected from integers from 1 to 20;
[0036] R1, R2, R3, and R4 are each independently selected from H, D, halogen, cyano, hydroxyl, carboxyl, aldehyde, nitro, unsubstituted or substituted with -D, -NH2, -F, -Cl, -Br, -I, -OH, -COOH, -NO2, -SO3H, -CHO, -SH, or -CN, belonging to the C1-C group. 10 alkyl.
[0037] It can be understood that the structural formula of CBP material is as follows: The organic compounds provided in this application are modified groups. The material obtained after modifying CBP material.
[0038] The organic compound provided in this application modifies 4,4'-bis(9-carbazole)biphenyl (CBP) material. The conjugation effect between the modified group and the original benzene ring in the CBP material allows the bond angle between the modified group and the benzene ring to vary within a certain range, increasing the flexibility of the organic compound. Furthermore, the modified group has a shorter chain length, weaker intermolecular interactions, and less steric hindrance, making the organic compound more prone to deformation and movement under external forces, thus exhibiting higher flexibility. After modification, the modified group allows the organic compound to maintain good flowability and solubility before the crosslinking reaction, helping to lower the temperature required for the crosslinking reaction. Simultaneously, since the crosslinking reaction mainly occurs between alkenyl groups connected to -R1, -R2, -R3, and -R4 in the organic compound, the rate and extent of the crosslinking reaction can be controlled by adjusting the length and properties of the modified group, further reducing the crosslinking temperature, increasing hole mobility, promoting hole-electron balance, and improving the uniformity and density of the film prepared from the organic compound.

[0069] Specifically, the amide compound may be N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF).
[0070] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of the 4,4'-bis(9-carbazole)biphenyl to the amide compound is 1:(20-25), for example, it can be 1:20.5, 1:21, 1:21.5, 1:22, 1:22.5, 1:23, 1:23.5, 1:24, 1:24.5, or any range between two ratios. It should be noted that the benzene ring on the 4,4'-bis(9-carbazole)biphenyl has a stable structure and relatively low reactivity, requiring a larger amount of amide compound to improve reaction efficiency and yield.
[0071] In some embodiments, the mixing of the 4,4'-bis(9-carbazole)biphenyl and the amide compound further includes the addition of a first solvent.
[0072] Further, the first solvent includes one or more of chlorobenzene, tetrahydrofuran, n-octane, isooctane, n-hexane, cyclohexane, ethyl acetate, benzene, toluene, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, dichloromethane, dimethyl ether, tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether, N,N-dimethylformamide, ethyl acetate, pyrrole, butyric acid, and cresol.
[0073] The mass concentration of the 4,4'-bis(9-carbazole)biphenyl in the first solvent is 50 mg / mL to 80 mg / mL, for example, it can be 55 mg / mL, 60 mg / mL, 65 mg / mL, 70 mg / mL, 75 mg / mL, or any range between two values. Within this mass concentration range, the dissolution and dispersion of the 4,4'-bis(9-carbazole)biphenyl are favorable, and a suitable reaction environment is provided.
[0074] In some embodiments, the mixing of the 4,4'-bis(9-carbazole)biphenyl and the amide compound further includes the addition of a first catalyst.
[0075] Furthermore, the first catalyst includes one or more of POCl3, SOCl2, and ZnCl2.
[0076] The molar ratio of the amide compound to the first catalyst is (1-2):(1-2), for example, it can be 1:1, 1:1.2, 1:1.5, 1:1.8, 1:2, 1.2:1, 1.5:1, 1.8:1, 2:1, or any range between two ratios. The catalyst can promote the reaction between the amide compound and 4,4'-bis(9-carbazole)biphenyl.
[0077] In some embodiments, the reaction temperature of the mixture of 4,4'-bis(9-carbazole)biphenyl and the amide compound is 95°C to 100°C, for example, 96°C, 97°C, 98°C, 99°C, or any range between two values; the reaction time is 10h to 12h, for example, 10.5h, 11h, 11.5h, or any range between two values.

[0078] In S12:
[0079] In some embodiments, the reducing agent includes NaBH4, LiAlH4, and NaHSO3.

Within this mass concentration range, the dissolution and dispersion of the first intermediate product are favorable, and a suitable reaction environment is provided.
[0084] In some embodiments, the reaction temperature of the reducing agent and the first intermediate product is 25°C to 28°C, for example, 25.5°C, 26°C, 26.5°C, 27°C, 27.5°C, or any range between two values; the reaction time is 20h to 24h, for example, 21h, 22h, 23h, or any range between two values. Thus, under these reaction conditions, a reduction reaction is favored between the reducing agent and the first intermediate product, reducing the aldehyde group on the first intermediate product to a hydroxyl group.
[0085] It should be noted that during the reaction of the reducing agent and the first intermediate product, other reagents, such as hydroxyl protecting agents (e.g., ethanol), can be added as needed to protect the hydroxyl groups on the second intermediate product. After the reaction, a reagent (e.g., water) can be added to dissolve the byproducts (e.g., NaBO2) and a base (e.g., NaOH) can be added to adjust the pH of the solution to prevent the formation of boric acid solid under acidic conditions. This facilitates subsequent removal of impurities and purification of the second intermediate product.

Under the conditions of the molar ratio described above, it is beneficial for the second intermediate to react with the modifier.
[0092] In some embodiments, mixing the modifier and the second intermediate product further includes adding a third solvent.
[0093] Further, the third solvent includes one or more of chlorobenzene, tetrahydrofuran, n-octane, isooctane, n-hexane, cyclohexane, ethyl acetate, benzene, toluene, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, dichloromethane, dimethyl ether, tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether, N,N-dimethylformamide, ethyl acetate, pyrrole, butyric acid, and cresol.
[0094] The second intermediate product has a mass concentration of 20 mg / mL to 40 mg / mL in the third solvent, for example, it can be 22 mg / mL, 25 mg / mL, 28 mg / mL, 30 mg / mL, 32 mg / mL, 35 mg / mL, 38 mg / mL, or any range between two values. Within this mass concentration range, the dissolution and dispersion of the second intermediate product are favorable, and a suitable reaction environment is provided.
[0095] In some embodiments, the mixing of the modifier and the second intermediate product further includes the addition of a second catalyst.
[0096] Furthermore, the second catalyst includes NaH.
[0097] The molar ratio of the second intermediate to the second catalyst is 1:(2-4), for example, it can be 1:2, 1:2.2, 1:2.5, 1:2.8, 1:3, 1:3.2, 1:3.5, 1:3.8, or any range between two ratios. The catalyst can promote the reaction between the modifier and the second intermediate.
[0098] In some embodiments, the reaction temperature of the modifier and the second intermediate product is 50°C to 70°C, for example, 52°C, 55°C, 58°C, 60°C, 62°C, 65°C, 68°C, or any range between two values; the reaction time is 20h to 28h, for example, 21h, 22h, 23h, 24h, 25h, 26h, 27h, or any range between two values. Thus, under these reaction conditions, it is beneficial for the reaction between the modifier and the second intermediate product to occur, thereby introducing the modifier onto the second intermediate product.
[0099] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide a thin film, the material of which includes the above-mentioned organic compounds, or includes organic compounds prepared by the above-mentioned preparation method.
[0100] It should be noted that the organic compounds in the film are cross-linked.

[0130] The present application will be specifically described below through specific embodiments. The following embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.
[0131] Example 1
[0132] This embodiment provides an organic compound and a thin film thereof. The method for preparing the organic compound is as follows:
[0133] 10 g (21.1 mmol) of 4,4'-bis(9-carbazole)biphenyl (CBP), 40 mL (0.547 mol) of amide compound DMF, and 150 mL of solvent chlorobenzene were weighed and placed in a flask. Then, under a nitrogen atmosphere, 47 mL (0.562 mol) of catalyst POCl3 was added dropwise to the flask at room temperature. The reaction was carried out at 95 °C for 10 h. The mixture was then poured into a beaker containing crushed ice, neutralized with K2CO3, and the aqueous layer was extracted three times with 100 mL of dichloromethane. The organic layer was then dried with sodium sulfate. Finally, the mixture was purified on a silica gel column (dichloromethane:ethyl acetate = 95:5) to obtain the first intermediate product. The structural formula of the first intermediate product is shown below.
[0134]
[0135] The first intermediate (5 g, 9.3 mmol) was mixed with 200 mL of tetrahydrofuran solvent, 100 mL of ethanol (hydroxyl protecting agent), and 12 mmol of NaBH4 reducing agent. The mixture was reacted at 27 °C for 24 h. Water was then slowly added, and after the solvent evaporated, 0.1 mol of NaOH and dichloromethane were added. The mixture was stirred and filtered under vacuum to obtain the second intermediate. The structural formula of the second intermediate is shown below:
[0136]
[0137] Under a nitrogen atmosphere and at room temperature, the catalyst NaH (0.25 g, 5.4 mmol) was added to a DMF (30 mL) dispersion of the second intermediate (1.0 g, 1.8 mmol), and the reaction mixture was stirred for 3 h, then cooled to 0 °C; then 5.4 mmol of the modifier 4-chloromethylstyrene was added dropwise. The reaction was carried out at 60℃ for 24 hours, then cooled with water, the aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane, the organic layer was dried with sodium sulfate, and finally purified by silica gel column chromatography (dichloromethane:polyethylene = 7:3) to obtain the organic compound. The structural formula of the organic compound is shown below:
[0138]

[0157] This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, except that the heating temperature during film preparation in this embodiment is 130°C.
[0158] Comparative Example 1
[0159] This comparative example is basically the same as Example 1, except that the organic compound is replaced with 4,4'-bis(9-carbazole)biphenyl CBP; the annealing temperature of the film is 210°C.
[0160] Comparative Example 2
[0161] This comparative example is basically the same as Example 1, except that the organic compound in this comparative example is replaced with:
[0162]
[0163] The annealing temperature of the film is 210℃.
[0164] Comparative Example 3
[0165] This comparative example is basically the same as Example 1, except that the organic compound in this comparative example is replaced with:
[0166]
[0167] The annealing temperature of the film is 210℃.
[0168] The 1H and 1C NMR spectra of the organic compound from Example 1 were tested, and the results are as follows:
[0169] 1H NMR (400MHz, CDCl3): δ=8.22-8.11(m,4H),7.93(d,4H),7.71(d,4H),7.59-7. 29(m,18H),6.74(dd,2H),5.76(d,2H),5.25(d,2H),4.77(s,4H),4.62(s,4H).
[0170] 13C NMR (400MHz, CDCl3): δ=141.14,140.52,139.29,138.09,137.25,136.99,136.59,129.98,128.52,128.08,127.42,127 .17,126.49,126.40,126.27,126.09,123.54,123.42,120.45,120.24,120.16,113.75,109.89,109.79,72.62,71.56.
[0171] The crosslinking temperatures of the organic compounds in Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were tested, and the hole mobility, surface roughness, and flexural strength of the films were measured. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0172] The crosslinking temperature was measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), a commonly used thermal analysis technique that can be used to measure the thermal properties of materials, including glass transition temperature, melting temperature, and crosslinking temperature. The temperature of the crosslinking reaction can be determined by monitoring the heat change of organic compounds during the heating process.
[0173] The hole mobility test method is as follows: The current density-voltage curve of the optoelectronic device (single carrier transport thin-film device, HOD) is measured. The HOD structure is anode / hole transport layer / quantum dot light-emitting layer / cathode, and the hole transport layer material is the organic compound used in Examples 1-8 and Comparative Examples 1-3, respectively. The space charge confinement current (SCLC) region in the current density-voltage curve is obtained, and then the value is calculated according to the formula J = (9 / 8)ε. r ε0μ e V 2 / d 3 Calculate hole mobility; where J represents current density in mA / cm². -2 ;ε r ε₀ represents the relative permittivity, and μ represents the vacuum permittivity. e This represents hole mobility, expressed in cm. 2 V -1 s -1 V represents the driving voltage, with units of V; d represents the film thickness, with units of m.
[0174] Surface roughness was measured using atomic force microscopy (AFM).
[0175] Table 1
[0176]
[0177]
[0178] As shown in Table 1:
[0179] As shown in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Example 1, the thermal crosslinking temperature of the organic compound obtained after CBP modification is reduced from about 200°C to about 150°C, with the thermal crosslinking temperature of Example 3 being reduced to 142°C. This can be achieved by adjusting the chain length of the flexible modifier. At the same time, the migration rate of the film prepared by the organic compound is also significantly improved. The surface roughness is also significantly reduced compared with CBP, indicating that the film prepared by the modified CBP has better density.
[0180] As can be seen from Examples 1, 5-10 and Comparative Examples 1-3, modifying CBP at the suitable reaction and crosslinking temperatures provided in this application can reduce the crosslinking temperature of organic compounds, increase the hole mobility of films prepared from organic compounds, and reduce the surface roughness of films. In Comparative Examples 2-3, methyl groups or O=S=O bonds exist on the benzene ring host. Methyl groups can cause changes in the electron cloud of carbons on adjacent benzene rings, reducing the conjugation effect of the benzene ring. This leads to a weakening of the conjugation effect between the benzene ring and the alkenyl group, and the flexibility of the structure will be greatly reduced. Furthermore, the methyl group on biphenyl is an electron-donating group, which may generate free radicals and undergo reactions such as electrophilic substitution and oxidation reactions under high temperature conditions. These reactions may damage the film or generate a large number of defects during film formation. The electronegativity of O=S=O bonds is stronger than that of carbons on the benzene ring, which can also cause electron cloud rearrangement and weaken the conjugation effect of the host. Therefore, the performance of the organic compounds in Comparative Examples 2-3 is still inferior to that of the examples.
[0181] Device Example 1
[0182] This embodiment provides an optoelectronic device, the fabrication method of which is as follows:
[0183] The ITO conductive glass was cleaned with a cleaning agent to initially remove the stains on the surface. Then, it was ultrasonically cleaned for 20 minutes each in deionized water, acetone, anhydrous ethanol, and deionized water to remove the impurities on the surface. Finally, it was dried with high-purity nitrogen to form an ITO anode with a thickness of 100 nm.
[0184] PEDOT:PSS was spin-coated onto an ITO anode at 3500 rpm, followed by heating at 150°C for 20 min to form a hole injection layer with a thickness of 25 nm.
[0185] The method for preparing the thin film as described in Example 1 forms a hole transport layer on the hole injection layer;
[0186] CdSe / ZnS quantum dots were dissolved in n-octane solvent and spin-coated onto the hole transport layer at a speed of 3000 rpm for 30 s. The mixture was then heated at 100 °C for 5 min to form a light-emitting layer with a thickness of 15 nm.
[0187] ZnO was dissolved in ethanol and spin-coated onto the light-emitting layer at a speed of 4000 rpm for 30 seconds. Then it was heated at 100°C for 10 minutes to form an electron transport layer with a thickness of 35 nm.
[0188] Ag is deposited on the electron transport layer by thermal evaporation, with a vacuum level not exceeding 3 x 10⁻⁶. -4 Pa, velocity of 0.8 angstroms / second, time of 1000 s, forming a cathode with a thickness of 100 nm;
[0189] Optoelectronic devices are obtained by encapsulating with acrylic resin.
[0190] Device Examples 2-10
[0191] Device Examples 2-10 are basically the same as Device Example 1, except that hole transport layers are formed in Device Examples 2-10 using the same method as in Examples 2-10 for preparing thin films.
[0192] Device Comparison Examples 1-3
[0193] The devices in Comparative Examples 1 to 3 are basically the same as those in Device Example 1, except that the hole transport layer is formed in Comparative Examples 1 to 3 by the same method used to prepare the thin film as in Comparative Examples 1 to 3.
[0194] The external quantum efficiency (EQE) and lifetime (T95@1000nit) of the optoelectronic devices in Device Examples 1-10 and Device Comparative Examples 1-3 were tested respectively, and the results are shown in Table 2.
[0195] The start-up voltage was measured using an efficiency testing system built with Keithley 6485.
[0196] External quantum efficiency (EQE) is measured as the ratio of electron-hole pairs injected into a quantum dot to the number of emitted photons, expressed as a percentage (%). It is an important 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:
[0197]
[0198] Where, η e For optical output coupling efficiency, η r χ is the ratio of recombination carriers to injected carriers, and K is the ratio of excitons producing photons to the total number of excitons. R K is the radiation process rate. NR This represents the rate of a non-radiative process.
[0199] Test conditions: Conducted at room temperature with an air humidity of 30-60%.
[0200] The measurement 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 an extended exponential decay brightness decay fitting formula. For example, the lifetime at 1000nit is measured as T95@1000nit. The specific calculation formula is as follows:
[0201]
[0202] 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.
[0203] Table 2
[0204]
[0205]
