Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202211008516.1, entitled "Nanocrystal Composite, Its Manufacturing Method, and Its Use," filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of the People's Republic of China on August 22, 2022, the entire text of which is incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] TECHNICAL FIELD Embodiments of the present application relate to the field of nanocrystalline film preparation techniques, and in particular to nanocrystalline complexes, methods for their preparation, and uses thereof. [Background technology]
[0003] Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) glasses require microdisplay optical engines, which in the future will have ultra-high resolution (≥3000 ppi) and must meet all the requirements of ultra-high resolution, low power consumption, highly collimated light emission, and compact size. Quantum dots are a new type of display material, characterized by high luminous efficiency and narrow peak width, which can realize low power consumption, highly collimated light emission, and compact size. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] However, to fabricate ultra-high-resolution display devices using quantum dot materials, it is necessary to finely pattern the quantum dot (QD) layer of a quantum dot light-emitting device (QLED) to obtain a pixel array (as shown in Figure 1). Currently, industrial methods for finely patterning quantum dot layers mainly include (1) the transfer printing method (see Figure 2). The transfer printing method uses a patterned template to attach a quantum dot layer formed on substrate A according to a target pattern, and then transfers the quantum dot layer to substrate B to obtain a patterned quantum dot layer. This method has limitations in processing size and significant challenges in processing yield. There is also (2) the photoresist etching method (see Figure 3). In the photoresist etching method, the quantum dot layer is coated with a layer of photoresist, followed by exposure, development, and etching to obtain a patterned quantum dot layer. This method involves many processing steps, and the developer and etchant affect the quantum dot layer and functional layers (such as the hole transport layer, hole injection layer, or electron transport layer). To more easily obtain high-quality patterned quantum dot layers, industrial efforts have begun to directly synthesize patternable quantum dot materials (see Figure 4). By using patternable quantum dot materials, the quantum dot layer can be directly subjected to two steps: solvent exposure and development, resulting in a patterned quantum dot layer. However, some of the previously developed patternable quantum dot materials have low photoactivity, requiring long exposure times and high exposure doses. Some of them have excessively high thermal crosslinking activity, which can lead to crosslinking even upon heating. In this case, the quantum dot layer is prone to partial crosslinking during the annealing step before exposure, resulting in the quantum dot layer in the unexposed areas not being completely developed or dissolved, resulting in residual quantum dot layer in the unexposed areas. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a nanocrystal complex having high photocrosslinking activity and high thermal stability (i.e., low thermal crosslinking activity). The nanocrystal complex can be used to prepare a patterned film.
[0006] Specifically, in a first aspect of the present embodiment, a nanocrystal complex is provided, which comprises a nanocrystal particle and a ligand coordinated to the surface of the nanocrystal particle, the ligand comprising a photosensitive ligand having a structure represented by formula (I) and / or formula (II): [ka] (Formula I) [ka] (Formula II) In (Formula I), X is a coordinating group coordinated to the nanocrystalline particle; Y is a bonding group; one of A and B is —C═O— and the other is a group containing a carbon-carbon double bond; R and R′ are independently one of a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a nitrogen group, a hydroxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkylcarbonyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, and a substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy group; In (Formula II), X is a coordinating group coordinated to the nanocrystalline particle, Y and Y' are linking groups, and R, R', and R" are independently one of a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a nitro group, a hydroxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkylcarbonyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, and a substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy group; n is 1, 2, or 3.
[0007] In an embodiment of the present application, a nanocrystal composite with high photosensitivity and high thermal stability is obtained by coordinating a photosensitive ligand having a structure represented by formula (I) and / or formula (II), which has high photocrosslinking activity and low thermal crosslinking activity, to the surface of a nanocrystal particle. The nanocrystal composite has a patterning function. The nanocrystal composite can be used to prepare a patterned nanocrystal film, and patterning can be performed directly through exposure and solvent development. In the patterning process, the nanocrystal composite can undergo photocrosslinking with a small amount of exposure and a short exposure time. Specifically, crosslinking between nanocrystal complexes is achieved using the photosensitive ligand, and no additional photoinitiator is required in the photocrosslinking process. Furthermore, when the nanocrystal complex is subjected to heating and annealing processes, thermal crosslinking does not occur, which avoids the problem of incomplete dissolution in unexposed areas during the development process, improving the reliability of the patterning process and facilitating the preparation of fine patterns.

[0039] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0040] To fabricate ultra-high-resolution display devices using quantum dot materials, it is necessary to finely pattern the quantum dot (QD) layer of quantum dot light-emitting devices (QLEDs) to obtain pixel arrays. Current industrial methods for finely patterning quantum dot layers mainly include transfer printing and photoresist etching. However, the transfer printing method has limited processing size and poor processing yield. The photoresist etching method involves many processing steps, and the developer and etchant solutions affect the quantum dot layer and functional layer. To more effectively obtain high-quality patterned quantum dot layers and meet the requirements for fabricating high-resolution display devices, embodiments of the present application provide nanocrystal complexes. These nanocrystal complexes have high photocrosslinking activity and high thermal stability (i.e., low thermal crosslinking activity). The nanocrystal complexes are used to prepare patterned films, which have a simple process and good patterning effect, and can avoid the impact of the patterning process on the quantum dot layer and functional layer.
[0041] 5 is a diagram of the structure of a nanocrystal complex 100 according to one embodiment of the present application. Nanocrystal complex 100 includes nanocrystal particle 101 and ligand 102 coordinated to the surface of nanocrystal particle 101, where ligand 102 includes a photosensitive ligand having the structure shown in Formula (I) and / or Formula (II): [ka] Formula (I) [ka] Formula (II).
[0042] In formula (I), X is a coordinating group that is coordinated to the nanocrystalline particle 101, Y is a linking group, one of A and B is -C=O- and the other is a group containing a carbon-carbon double bond, and R and R' are independently one of a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a nitro group, a hydroxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkylcarbonyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, and a substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy group. In formula (II), X is a coordinating group coordinated to nanocrystalline particle 101; Y and Y' are linking groups; R, R', and R" are independently one of a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a nitro group, a hydroxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkylcarbonyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, and a substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy group; and n can be 1, 2, or 3.
[0043] In an embodiment of the present application, a nanocrystal complex with high photosensitivity and high thermal stability is obtained by coordinating a photosensitive ligand having a structure represented by formula (I) and / or formula (II), which has high photocrosslinking activity and low thermal crosslinking activity, to the surface of a nanocrystal particle. The nanocrystal complex has a patterning function. The nanocrystal complex is used to prepare a patterned nanocrystal film, and the patterning process can be directly carried out through exposure and development using a solvent. In the patterning process, the nanocrystal complex can undergo photocrosslinking with a small amount of exposure and a short exposure time. In particular, crosslinking between nanocrystal complexes is achieved by using the photosensitive ligand, and no additional photoinitiator is required during the photocrosslinking process. Furthermore, since thermal crosslinking does not occur when the nanocrystal complex is subjected to heating and annealing treatments, the problem of incomplete dissolution in unexposed areas during the development process can be avoided, improving the reliability of the patterning process and facilitating the preparation of fine patterns.

The reaction process is shown in equation (7): [ka] Hydroxyl-substituted coumarin photolabile ligand CouC13 Formula (7) For example, green quantum dots are used. The synthesis of green quantum dots includes the following steps: (1) Dissolve 5 mmol of Se powder and 5 mmol of S powder in 5 mL of trioctylphosphine (TOP) solution to obtain the (Se + S)-TOP precursor. (2) 0.14 mmol of cadmium acetate, 3.41 mmol of zinc oxide, and 7 mL of oleic acid were added to a 50 mL three-neck flask and heated to 150 °C for 30 minutes under nitrogen protection to remove acetic acid and water. 15 mL of octadecene (ODE) was added and the reaction system was heated to 310 °C. 2 mL of (Se + S)-TOP precursor was added, and the three-neck flask was cooled to 300 °C. The reaction was carried out for 15 minutes to obtain green CdZnSeS / ZnS quantum dots. (3) Add an excess of methanol and acetone (volume ratio 3:1) to precipitate the quantum dots and centrifuge at 8000 rpm for 5 minutes. Dissolve the precipitate in 5 mL of octane solution, then precipitate again with 15 mL of acetone and centrifuge at 8000 rpm for 5 minutes. Repeat this step once. (4) Prepare the resulting quantum dot precipitate in a 50 mg / mL chloroform solution for use.
[0096] Quantum dot ligand exchange: For example, the oleic acid ligand was replaced with the photosensitive ligand ChalC8 prepared in Example 3. 1 mL of quantum dots was taken in a 50 mg / mL chloroform solution, and an equal mass of the photosensitive ligand ChalC8 (50 mg) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes to obtain ligand-exchanged quantum dots, i.e., quantum dots whose surfaces were coordinated with the photosensitive ligand ChalC8. This yielded quantum dot complexes. The quantum dot complexes were then precipitated once with excess methanol. The precipitate was redissolved in chloroform to prepare a 7.5 mg / mL quantum dot solution for spin coating. The resulting quantum dot solution was used to prepare patterned quantum dot films, and the photocrosslinking and thermal crosslinking properties were evaluated.
[0097] Preparation of patterned quantum dot films: (1) Preparation of quantum dot film: A clean glass sheet was spin-coated with a 30 mg / mL ethanolic ZnO solution at 2800 rpm and an acceleration of 900 rpm for 30 seconds. After spin-coating, the ZnO film was obtained by annealing at 150 °C for 30 minutes under a nitrogen atmosphere. Next, the resulting quantum dot solution was spin-coated onto the ZnO film at 2500 rpm and an acceleration of 800 rpm for 30 seconds. (2) The quantum dot film sample obtained by spin coating is annealed at 100°C for 10 minutes. (3) Exposure: A 365 nm LED flat panel light source (energy density approximately 30 mW / cm) is applied to the quantum dot film layer. 2 ) and crosslinking is carried out for 15 to 60 seconds. (4) Development: The entire glass sheet with the quantum dot film layer is immersed in a chloroform solution and left for 1 minute. The quantum dot complexes in the exposed areas are photocrosslinked under UV irradiation to form a thin film, while the quantum dot complexes in the unexposed areas are not photocrosslinked and can be dissolved in a solvent, resulting in a patterned quantum dot thin film.
[0098] Evaluation of photocrosslinking effect and thermal crosslinking properties: The UV-VIS (ultraviolet-visible) absorption curves of the quantum dot film samples at different stages were measured. The results are shown in Figures 18 and 19. Quantum dots whose surfaces were coordinated with linolenic acid ligands were used as a comparison example. The UV-VIS absorption curves of the quantum dot film samples at different stages were measured. The results are shown in Figures 20 and 21. Dissolution with a developing solvent was performed by immersing the sample in chloroform solution for 1 minute.
[0099] In Figure 18, curve 1 is the UV-VIS absorption curve of a quantum dot film whose surface is coordinated with the ligand ChalC8 and that has not been subjected to photocrosslinking or elution with a developing solvent (immersion in chloroform for 1 minute) (i.e., the results of a blank control experiment without any treatment). Curve 2 is the UV-VIS absorption curve of a quantum dot film whose surface is coordinated with the ligand ChalC8 after annealing at 100°C for 10 minutes, photocrosslinking for 15 seconds, and elution with a developing solvent. From Figure 18, it can be seen that the quantum dots whose surface is coordinated with the ligand ChalC8 after annealing at 100°C for 10 minutes, photocrosslinking for 15 seconds, and elution with a developing solvent have a retention rate of over 95%, indicating that the ligand ChalC8 has a high degree of photocrosslinking. In Figure 20, curve 1 is the UV-VIS absorption curve of a quantum dot film whose surface is coordinated with linolenic acid ligands and that has not been subjected to photocrosslinking or development solvent (immersion in chloroform solution for 1 minute) (i.e., the experimental result of a blank control without any treatment). Curves 2, 3, and 4 are the UV-VIS absorption curves of quantum dot films whose surface is coordinated with linolenic acid ligands and that have been photocrosslinked for 5, 10, and 15 minutes, respectively, and then eluted with a developer solution. Figure 20 shows that under the same elution conditions with a developer solution, quantum dots whose surface is coordinated with linolenic acid ligands after 5 to 15 minutes of photocrosslinking have a retention rate of less than 80%. Compared to the comparative example, quantum dots whose surface is coordinated with the ligand ChalC8 in the present embodiment are fully crosslinked under short-term light irradiation conditions, demonstrating good photocrosslinking effects. If the absorbance in the UV-VIS absorption curve of the quantum dot film sample after exposure and development is significantly lower than that of the quantum dot film sample before exposure and development, the quantum dot complexes have poor photocrosslinking effect and are therefore washed away by the developing solvent.If the absorbance in the UV-VIS absorption curve of the quantum dot film sample after exposure and development is significantly higher than that of the quantum dot film sample before exposure and development, the photocrosslinking effect can be said to be good.
[0100] In Figure 19, curve 1 is the UV-VIS absorption curve of a quantum dot film whose surface was coordinated with the ligand ChalC8 and which had not been subjected to photocrosslinking, annealing, or elution with a developing solvent (immersion in chloroform for 1 minute) (i.e., the results of a blank control experiment without any treatment). Curve 2 is the UV-VIS absorption curve of a quantum dot film whose surface was coordinated with the ligand ChalC8, which had been annealed at 100 °C for 10 minutes and then eluted with a developing solvent but had not been photocrosslinked. Figure 19 shows that even after annealing at 100 °C for 10 minutes, the ligand ChalC8 was unlikely to undergo spontaneous crosslinking, and the residual amount after elution was less than 15%. This suggests that the ligand ChalC8 has a low degree of thermal crosslinking. In Figure 21, curve 1 is the UV-VIS absorption curve of a quantum dot film whose surface is coordinated with linolenic acid ligands and has not been subjected to photocrosslinking, annealing, or dissolution in a developing solvent (immersion in chloroform for 1 minute) (i.e., the results of a blank control experiment without any treatment). Curve 2 is the UV-VIS absorption curve of a quantum dot film whose surface is coordinated with linolenic acid ligands and has not been subjected to photocrosslinking, but has been annealed at 100°C for 10 minutes and then dissolution in a developing solvent. Figure 21 shows that by annealing at 100°C for 10 minutes, the remaining amount of quantum dots whose surface is coordinated with linolenic acid ligands in the comparative example reaches 50%. This suggests that the linolenic acid ligands have a high degree of thermal crosslinking.
[0101] The photosensitive ligands in Examples 1, 2, and 4 to 7 were prepared into quantum dot solutions by the same method as described above, and then patterned quantum dot films were prepared. Each of the photosensitive ligands in Examples 1, 2, and 4 to 7 achieved a retention rate of over 90% after 15 to 60 seconds of photocrosslinking, and the retention rate after dissolution under annealing conditions was less than 20%, indicating that the nanocrystal complexes prepared with the photosensitive ligands in Examples 1, 2, and 4 to 7 have high photocrosslinking activity and low thermal crosslinking activity.
