AI Technical Summary
The half-maximum width of the existing inorganic nanoluminescent bodies is wide, resulting in insufficient color purity and low extinction coefficient of quantum dots. A thicker film is required to achieve complete absorption of blue light, making it difficult to meet the requirements of high resolution display and stability.
Inorganic nanoluminescents are used, including organic compound H1 as ligand, and the absorption spectrum of the luminescence spectrum is partially overlapped. The peak of the luminescence spectrum is on the short wavelength side of the core, and the half-maximum width is less than or equal to 45 nm. The core is selected from a specific inorganic semiconductor material, and a functional film and optoelectronic device is formed by combining organic solvents and resins.
The film preparation of high color gamut displays is realized, which improves the luminous efficiency and stability, and is suitable for display products with different resolutions, especially the separation of exciton formation and luminous emission processes in QLED, and extends the life.

Abstract
Description
An inorganic nanoluminescent body and its application in the field of optoelectronics Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of inorganic nano-luminescent materials and technologies, and in particular to an inorganic nano-luminescent body, a composition thereof, a functional film, a photoelectric device and applications thereof in the photoelectric field. Background Art
[0002] According to the principles of colorimetry, the narrower the half-width at half-maximum of light entering the human eye, the higher the color purity and the brighter the color. Display devices made with red, green, and blue primary colors with narrow half-width at half-maximum display a wide color gamut, realistic images, and high-quality images.
[0003] Currently, there are two mainstream methods for achieving full-color displays. The first is that the display device actively emits light in the three primary colors of red, green, and blue, a typical example being RGB-OLED displays. The currently mature technology uses vacuum evaporation of fine metal masks to produce light-emitting devices in these three colors. This process is complex, costly, and difficult to achieve high-resolution displays exceeding 600ppi. The second method uses a color converter to convert the single color light emitted by the light-emitting device into multiple colors, thereby achieving full-color display. An example is Samsung's blue OLED plus red and green quantum dot (QD) films as color converters (hereinafter referred to as QD-OLED). The light-emitting device in this method has simple manufacturing processes and high color purity. Moreover, the color converter can be implemented through various technologies such as inkjet printing, transfer printing, and photolithography. It can be applied to display products with different resolution requirements, ranging from as low as 50ppi for large-screen TVs to as high as 3000ppi and above for silicon-based microdisplays.
[0004] Currently, the most promising color-conversion materials used in color converters are inorganic nanoluminescent materials, commonly known as quantum dots. These are nanoparticles of inorganic semiconductor materials (such as InP, CdSe, CdS, and ZnSe) with diameters ranging from 2nm to 10nm. Due to the limitations of current quantum dot synthesis and separation technologies, the half-width (FWHM) of the emission peak of Cd-containing quantum dots currently ranges from 20nm to 40nm, with color purity that meets NTSC display requirements. The FWHM of Cd-free quantum dots ranges from 35nm to 75nm. However, due to the generally low extinction coefficient of quantum dots, thicker films—typically over 10 microns—are required to fully absorb blue light. This poses a significant challenge to mass production, particularly for Samsung's QD-OLED technology.
[0005] Therefore, from an industrial perspective, there is an urgent need to find a material solution for color converters that can maintain the narrow emission spectrum of quantum dots while reducing the thickness of the film.
[0006] Meanwhile, QLEDs, or electroluminescent diodes (QLEDs) that use quantum dots as light sources, have also made significant progress recently (see DOI: 10.1038 / s41566-019-0364-z). However, the stability, or operating life, of QLEDs, particularly blue QLEDs, remains far from commercially viable. Therefore, the development of new, more stable QDs is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention
[0007] Based on this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an inorganic nanoluminescent body, a composition thereof, a functional film, a photoelectric device and its application in the photoelectric field.
[0008] The specific technical solutions are as follows:
[0009] The present invention provides an inorganic nanoluminescent body comprising a core composed of an inorganic semiconductor and at least one ligand, wherein at least one of the ligands comprises a structure of an organic compound H1, wherein 1) the luminescence spectrum of the organic compound H1 and the absorption spectrum of the core at least partially overlap with each other; 2) the luminescence spectrum peak of the organic compound H1 is on the short-wavelength side of the luminescence spectrum peak of the core; and 3) the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the luminescence spectrum of the inorganic nanoluminescent body is less than or equal to 45 nm.
[0010] In the above-mentioned inorganic nanoluminescent body, the core is selected from quantum dots or nanorods with a single distribution.
[0011] In the above-mentioned inorganic nanoluminescent body, the core is selected from one or any combination of CdSe, CdS, CdTe, ZnO, ZnSe, ZnS, ZnTe, HgS, HgSe, HgTe, CdZnSe, InAs, InP, InN, GaN, InSb, InAsP, InGaAs, GaAs, GaP, GaSb, AlP, AlN, AlAs, AlSb, CdSeTe, ZnCdSe, PbSe, PbTe, PbS, PbSnTe, and Tl2SnTe5.

[0014] The present invention also provides a photoelectric device comprising the inorganic nanoluminescent body or the functional film as described above.
[0015] Beneficial effects: According to the inorganic nanoluminescent body of the present invention, the organic compound H1 as a ligand has a large extinction coefficient, the core of the inorganic nanoluminescent body has a high luminous efficiency and a narrow luminous half-width, and the distance between the organic compound H1 and the core is short, and the energy transfer efficiency is high, thereby realizing the separation and optimization of the absorption and luminescence functions, facilitating the preparation of a thin and high-efficiency color converter, and facilitating the realization of a display with a high color gamut; in addition, in QLED, the inorganic nanoluminescent body containing the organic compound H1 as a ligand can realize the separation of the two processes of exciton formation and luminescence, thereby facilitating the realization of high efficiency and long life.

[0018] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention may be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the present disclosure.
[0019] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0020] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, a numerical range represented by “~” refers to a range that includes the numerical values described before and after “~” as the lower limit and the upper limit.
[0021] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, a substituent may be further substituted by a substituent, and "substituted group a" may refer to group a being substituted by a substituent, and the substituent may be substituted by at least one further substituent or may be unsubstituted.
[0022] In this disclosure, the term "and / or" describes the relationship between associated objects, indicating that three possible relationships exist. For example, "A and / or B" can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects are in an "or" relationship.
[0023] In the present invention, "at least one" means one or more, and "plurality" means two or more. "At least one of the following" or similar expressions refers to any combination of these items, including any combination of single items or plural items. For example, "at least one of a, b, or c" or "at least one of a, b, and c" can all mean: a, b, c, ab (i.e., a and b), ac, bc, or abc, where a, b, and c can each be single or plural.
[0024] It should be understood that in various embodiments of the present invention, the size of the serial numbers of the above-mentioned processes does not mean the order of execution. Some or all of the steps can be executed in parallel or sequentially. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0025] The terms used in the embodiments of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The singular forms "a", "an", "the" and "the" used in the embodiments of the present invention and the appended claims are also intended to include plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
[0026] The term "OLED" is an abbreviation for "Organic Light Emitting Diode," which stands for organic electroluminescent diode, also known as organic electric laser display or organic light-emitting semiconductor (Organic Electroluminescence Display, OLED). OLED is a current-type organic light-emitting device that emits light through the injection and recombination of carriers, and the luminous intensity is proportional to the injected current. Under the action of the electric field, the holes generated by the anode and the electrons generated by the cathode will move, and are injected into the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer respectively, and migrate to the light-emitting layer. When the two meet in the light-emitting layer, energy excitons are generated, which excite the light-emitting molecules and ultimately produce visible light.
[0027] The term "TADF," short for "Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence," refers to thermally activated delayed fluorescence, which occurs when the triplet excited state and singlet excited state are close in energy, allowing the triplet excited state to transition to the singlet excited state through thermally activated reverse intersystem crossing (ISC). Conventional luminescence occurs as fluorescence and phosphorescence, respectively, where the exciton returns to the ground state via radiative emission from the singlet and triplet states. Furthermore, the energy difference between the lower singlet and triplet states is typically large, resulting in an inability to return the exciton to the singlet state once it reaches the triplet state through ISC.
[0028] In the present invention, main body material, matrix material, host material and matrix material have the same meaning and can be interchanged.
[0029] In the present invention, composition, printing ink, ink and ink have the same meaning and can be interchanged.
[0030] The present invention provides an inorganic nanoluminescent body comprising a core composed of an inorganic semiconductor and at least one ligand, wherein at least one of the ligands comprises a structure of an organic compound H1, wherein 1) the luminescence spectrum of the organic compound H1 and the absorption spectrum of the core at least partially overlap with each other; 2) the luminescence spectrum peak of the organic compound H1 is on the short-wavelength side of the luminescence spectrum peak of the core; and 3) the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the luminescence spectrum of the inorganic nanoluminescent body is less than or equal to 45 nm.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the light emission spectrum of the inorganic nanoluminescent body is ≤40 nm, preferably ≤35 nm, more preferably ≤30 nm, even better ≤25 nm, and most preferably ≤22 nm.
[0032] In another preferred embodiment, the inorganic nanoluminescent body has a fluorescence quantum efficiency (PLQY) of ≥60%, preferably ≥65%, more preferably ≥70%, and most preferably ≥80%.
[0033] In some preferred embodiments, the core of the inorganic nanoluminescent body is selected from quantum dots or nanorods with a single distribution.
[0034] In some preferred embodiments, the core of the inorganic nanoluminescent body is selected from one or any combination of CdSe, CdS, CdTe, ZnO, ZnSe, ZnS, ZnTe, HgS, HgSe, HgTe, CdZnSe, InAs, InP, InN, GaN, InSb, InAsP, InGaAs, GaAs, GaP, GaSb, AlP, AlN, AlAs, AlSb, CdSeTe, ZnCdSe, PbSe, PbTe, PbS, PbSnTe, and Tl2SnTe5.
[0035] In some embodiments, the core of the inorganic nanoluminescent body is a heterojunction structure comprising two different semiconductors, and the heterojunction structure is a core / shell structure having at least one outer shell.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the core of the inorganic nanoluminescent body is a semiconductor nanocrystal.
[0037] In certain embodiments, the average grain size of semiconductor nanocrystal is approximately in the 1nm to 1000nm scope. In certain embodiments, the average grain size of semiconductor nanocrystal is approximately in the 1nm to 100nm. In certain embodiments, the average grain size of semiconductor nanocrystal is approximately in the 1nm to 20nm, preferably from 1nm to 10nm.
[0038] The semiconductor forming the semiconductor nanocrystals may comprise a Group IV element, a group of Group II-VI compounds, a group of Group II-V compounds, a group of Group III-VI compounds, a group of Group III-V compounds, a group of Group IV-VI compounds, a group of Group I-III-VI compounds, a group of Group II-IV-VI compounds, a group of Group II-IV-V compounds, an alloy comprising any of the foregoing, and / or a mixture comprising the foregoing compounds, and / or a ternary / quaternary mixture or alloy. A non-limiting list of examples includes zinc oxide, zinc sulfide, zinc selenide, zinc telluride, cadmium oxide, cadmium sulfide, cadmium selenide, cadmium telluride, magnesium sulfide, magnesium selenide, gallium arsenide, gallium nitride, gallium phosphide, gallium selenide, gallium antimonide, mercury oxide, mercury sulfide, mercury selenide, mercury telluride, indium arsenide, indium nitride, indium phosphide, indium antimonide, aluminum arsenide, aluminum nitride, aluminum phosphide, aluminum antimonide, titanium nitride, titanium phosphide, titanium arsenide, titanium antimonide, lead oxide, lead sulfide, lead selenide, lead telluride, germanium, silicon, an alloy comprising any of the foregoing, and / or a mixture comprising any of the foregoing, including ternary / quaternary mixtures or alloys.
[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the semiconductor nanocrystals comprise a II-VI semiconductor material, preferably selected from CdSe, CdS, CdTe, ZnO, ZnSe, ZnS, ZnTe, HgS, HgSe, HgTe, CdZnSe, and any combination thereof. In a suitable embodiment, CdSe is used as an inorganic nanoluminescent material for visible light due to its relatively mature synthesis.

[0041] In another preferred embodiment, the semiconductor nanocrystals comprise a Group IV-VI semiconductor material, preferably selected from PbSe, PbTe, PbS, PbSnTe, Tl2SnTe5 and any combination thereof.
[0042] The shapes of semiconductor nanocrystals and other nanoparticles can include spheres, rods, disks, crosses, T-shapes, other shapes, or mixtures thereof. There are many methods for producing semiconductor nanocrystals, and a preferred method is the controlled growth solution phase colloidal method. For details of this method, see Alivisatos, AP, Science 1996, 271, p933; X. Peng et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1997, 119, p7019; and CB Murray et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1993, 115, p8706. The contents of the above-listed documents are hereby incorporated by reference. In these methods, an organometallic precursor (containing an M donor and an X donor, as described below) that undergoes pyrolysis at high temperature is rapidly injected into a hot solution containing a surfactant (coordinating solvent). These precursors decompose at high temperature and react to form nanocrystal nuclei. After this initial discrete nucleation stage, the growth stage is initiated by adding monomers to the growing crystals. The product is free-standing crystalline nanoparticles in solution, which have organic surfactant molecules coating their surfaces. The synthesis method involves initial discrete nucleation in seconds, followed by crystal growth at elevated temperatures over several minutes. The nature and course of the reaction can be altered by varying parameters such as temperature, surfactant type, precursor amount, and surfactant-to-monomer ratio. Temperature controls the nucleation process, precursor decomposition rate, and growth rate. The organic surfactant molecules regulate solubility and control nanocrystal shape. The ratios of surfactant to monomer, surfactant to surfactant, monomer to monomer, and the concentration of each monomer strongly influence the grain growth kinetics. By appropriately controlling the reaction parameters, the resulting semiconductor nanocrystals have a narrow distribution, known as a monodisperse distribution of particle sizes. Monodisperse diameters can also be used as a measure of grain size. In the present invention, at least 60% of the grains in a monodisperse collection of grains have a particle size within a specified range. A preferred monodisperse crystal has a diameter deviation of less than 15% rms, more preferably less than 10% rms, and most preferably less than 5% rms. The terms "monodispersed nanocrystals", "nanodots" and "quantum dots" are readily understood by those skilled in the art to refer to the same structure and are used interchangeably in the present invention.
[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the semiconductor nanocrystal or quantum dot comprises a core composed of a first semiconductor material and a shell composed of a second semiconductor material, wherein the shell is deposited on at least a portion of the surface of the core. A semiconductor nanocrystal comprising a core and a shell is also referred to as a "core / shell" semiconductor nanocrystal or quantum dot.
[0044] In semiconductor nanocrystals, light emission is produced by the band edge state of the nanocrystal. The band edge emission from the luminescent nanocrystal competes with the radiation and non-radiative decay channels derived from the surface electronic state. Surface defects such as dangling bonds provide non-radiative recombination centers, thereby reducing luminous efficiency. An effective method for passivating and removing the surface defect state is to epitaxially grow inorganic shell materials on the surface of the nanocrystal (see X. Peng et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. Vol 119, 7019-7029 (1997)). The shell material can be selected so that the shell / core constitutes an I-type semiconductor heterojunction structure, which can confine electrons and holes, and the excitons formed by their compound, to the core, thereby reducing the probability of non-radiative recombination. A core-shell structure is obtained by adding an organometallic precursor containing the shell material to the reaction mixture containing the core nanocrystal. In this case, instead of growing after the nucleation event, the core plays the role of a crystal nucleus and grows a shell from their surface. The temperature of the reaction should be kept appropriately low to facilitate the addition of the shell material monomer to the core surface while preventing the nanocrystal of the shell material from independently nucleating. The presence of a surfactant in the reaction mixture is to guide the controlled growth of the shell material and to ensure solubility. When there is a low lattice mismatch between the two materials, a uniform and epitaxially grown shell is obtained. In addition, the spherical shape plays a role in minimizing the interfacial strain energy from a large radius of curvature, thereby preventing the formation of dislocations that can degrade the optical properties of the nanocrystal.
[0045] For example, a semiconductor nanocrystal can include a core having the general chemical formula MX, where M can be cadmium, zinc, magnesium, mercury, aluminum, gallium, indium, thallium, or a mixture thereof, and X can be oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, or a mixture thereof. Examples of materials suitable for use as the core of a semiconductor nanocrystal include, but are not limited to, ZnO, ZnS, ZnSe, ZnTe, CdO, CdS, CdSe, CdTe, MgS, MgSe, GaAs, GaN, GaP, GaSe, GaSb, HgO, HgS, HgSe, HgTe, InAs, InN, InP, InSb, AlAs, AlN, AlP, AlSb, TIN, TIP, TlAs, TlSb, PbO, PbS, PbSe, PbTe, Ge, Si, an alloy or mixture comprising any of the foregoing materials, including ternary / quaternary mixtures or alloys.
[0046] The semiconductor material comprising the shell can be the same as or different from that of the core. The shell of a semiconductor nanocrystal is a coating covering the core surface, and its material can include a group of Group IV elements, a group of Group II-VI compounds, a group of Group II-V compounds, a group of Group III-VI compounds, a group of Group III-V compounds, a group of Group IV-VI compounds, a group of Group I-III-VI compounds, a group of Group II-IV-VI compounds, a group of Group II-IV-V compounds, an alloy comprising any of the foregoing, and / or a mixture of the foregoing compounds. Examples include, but are not limited to, ZnO, ZnS, ZnSe, ZnTe, CdO, CdS, CdSe, CdTe, MgS, MgSe, GaAs, GaN, GaP, GaSe, GaSb, HgO, HgS, HgSe, HgTe, InAs, InN, InP, InSb, AlAs, AlN, AlP, AlSb, TIN, TIP, TlAs, TlSb, PbO, PbS, PbSe, PbTe, Ge, Si, an alloy and / or mixture comprising any of the foregoing.
[0047] For example, a ZnS, ZnSe or CdS shell can be grown on a CdSe or CdTe semiconductor nanocrystal. For example, U.S. Patent No. 6,322,901 discloses a method for shell growth. By adjusting the temperature of the reaction mixture during shell growth and monitoring the core absorption spectrum, "core / shell" semiconductor nanocrystals or quantum dots with high quantum efficiency and narrow particle size distribution can be prepared. The shell can include one or more layers. The shell includes at least one semiconductor material that is the same or different from the core composition. Preferably, the shell has a thickness of about 1 to 10 monolayers. A shell can also have a thickness greater than 10 monolayers. In certain embodiments, more than one shell can be wrapped around a core.
[0048] In some embodiments, the outer "shell" material may have a band gap larger than that of the core material. Preferably, the core / shell has a type I heterojunction structure.
[0049] In certain embodiments, shell can be selected so that there is an atomic distance close to " core ". In some other embodiments, shell and core material can have the same crystal structure. " Core / shell " semiconductor nanocrystal or quantum dot include, for example but not limited to: red (such as " CdSe / ZnS "), green (such as " CdZnSe / CdZnS "), blue (such as " CdS / CdZnS "). The narrow particle size distribution of semiconductor nanocrystal or quantum dot makes it possible to emit light with a narrow width spectrum. The detailed description of quantum dot can be found in the following documents: Murray et al. (J.Am.Chem.Soc, 1993, 115, p8706), Christopher Murray's paper " Synthesis and Characterization of II-VI Quantum Dots and Their Assembly into 3-D Quantum Dot Superlattices " Massachusetts Institute of Technology September 1995, and U.S. Patent No. 6,322,901, which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
[0050] In some embodiments, two or more shells can be introduced, such as CdSe / CdS / ZnS and CdSe / ZnSe / ZnS core / shell / shell structures (J.Phys.Chem.B 2004, 108, p18826). By placing an intermediate shell (CdS or ZnSe) between the cadmium selenide core and the zinc sulfide shell, the stress inside the nanocrystal can be effectively reduced. Because the lattice parameters of CdS and ZnSe are between those of CdSe and ZnS, nearly defect-free nanocrystals can be obtained.
[0051] Controlled growth in a coordinating solvent and annealing of the semiconductor nanocrystals after nucleation can also lead to uniform surface derivatization and a uniform core structure. As the particle size distribution narrows, the temperature can be increased to maintain stable growth. The growth cycle can be shortened by adding more M or X donors. The M donor can be an inorganic compound, an organometallic compound, or a metallic element. M can be cadmium, zinc, magnesium, mercury, aluminum, gallium, indium, or thallium. The X donor is a compound that reacts with the M donor to form a material with the general formula MX. The X donor can be a chalcogen donor or a pnictide donor, such as a phosphine chalcogenide, dioxygen, an ammonium salt, or trisilane phosphide. Suitable X donors include dioxygen, bis(trimethylsilyl)selenide ((TMS)2Se), trialkyl phosphine selenides such as (tri-n-octylphosphine)selenide (TOPSe) or (tri-n-butylphosphine)selenide (TBPSe), trialkyl phosphine tellurides such as (tri-n-octylphosphine)telluride (TOPTe) or hexapropylphosphorustriamide telluride (HPPTTe), bis(trimethylsilyl)telluride ((TMS)2Te), bis(trimethylsilyl)sulfide ((TMS)2S), a trialkyl phosphine sulfide such as (tri-n-octylphosphine)sulfide (TOPS), an ammonium salt such as an ammonium halide ( halide) (such as NH4Cl), tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphide((TMS)3P), tris(trimethylsilyl)arsenide((TMS)3As), or tris(trimethylsilyl)antimonide((TMS)3Sb).
[0052] In a preferred embodiment, the M donor and the X donor can be contained in the same molecule.
[0053] A coordinating solvent can help control the growth of semiconductor nanocrystals. A coordinating solvent is a compound with a lone pair donor, for example, a lone pair of electrons that can coordinate to the surface of a growing semiconductor nanocrystal. This coordinating effect of the solvent can stabilize the growth of the semiconductor nanocrystal. Examples of coordinating solvents include alkyl phosphines, alkyl phosphine oxides, alkyl phosphonic acids, or alkyl phosphinic acids. However, other coordinating solvents, such as pyridines, furans, and amines may also be suitable for growing semiconductor nanocrystals. Examples of other suitable coordinating solvents include pyridine, tri-n-octyl phosphine (TOP), tri-n-octyl phosphine oxide (TOPO), and trishydroxylpropylphosphine (tHPP), tributylphosphine, tri(dodecyl)phosphine, dibutyl-phosphate, tributyl phosphate, trioctadecyl phosphate, trilauryl phosphate, tris(tridecyl)phosphate, triisodecyl phosphate, and tris(tridecyl)phosphate. phosphate), bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphate, tris(tridecyl)phosphate, hexadecylamine, 9-octadecylamine, octadecylamine, bis(2-ethylhexyl)amine, octylamine, dioctylamine, trioctylamine, dodecylamine, didodecylamine, tridodecylamine, hexadecylamine, dioctadecylamine,trioctadecylamine, phenylphosphonic acid, hexylphosphonic acid, tetradecylphosphonic acid, octylphosphonic acid, octadecylphosphonic acid, propylenediphosphonic acid, phenylphosphonic acid, aminohexylphosphonic acid, dioctyl ether, diphenyl ether, methyl myristate, octyl octanoate, and hexyl octanoate. In certain embodiments, industrial TOPO can be used.
[0054] The size distribution in the reaction process of the growth stage can be estimated by monitoring the width of the particle absorption or emission spectral line. The correction of the reaction temperature corresponding to the particle absorption spectrum change can allow a sharp particle size distribution to be arranged in the whole growth process. In the crystal growth process, reactant can be added to the nucleation solution and grow larger grains. For example, for cadmium selenide and cadmium telluride, by terminating growth when the average diameter of specific semiconductor nanocrystals, and selecting suitable semiconductor material to form, the emission spectrum of semiconductor nanocrystals can be continuously regulated in the scope of 300nm to 1500nm, and particularly preferably from 400nm to 800nm.
[0055] The size distribution of semiconductor nanocrystals can be further refined by selective precipitation using poor solvents, such as methanol / butanol as described in U.S. Patent No. 6,322,901 B1. For example, semiconductor nanocrystals can be dispersed in a solution of 10% butanol in n-hexane. Methanol can be added dropwise to this stirred solution until opalescence persists. The supernatant is separated by centrifugation and flocculation to produce a precipitate rich in large crystals. This process can be repeated until no further sharpening of the optical absorption spectrum is observed. Size selective precipitation can be performed in a variety of solvent / non-solvent pairs, including pyridine / n-hexane, chloroform / methanol, etc. The size-selective collection of semiconductor nanocrystals preferably has no more than 15% rms or less, more preferably 10% rms or less, and most preferably 5% rms or less.
[0056] For the purposes of the present invention, the semiconductor nanocrystals have ligands attached thereto.
[0057] In certain embodiments, the ligands can be derived from the coordinating solvent used during the growth process. Surface modification can be achieved by repeatedly exposing the nanocrystal to a coating containing an excess of competing coordinating groups. For example, a dispersion of encapsulated semiconductor nanocrystals can be treated with a coordinating organic compound, such as pyridine, resulting in grains that are readily dispersible in pyridine, methanol, and aromatic solvents, but no longer dispersible in aliphatic solvents. This surface exchange process can be performed with any compound that can coordinate or bind to the outer surface of the semiconductor nanocrystal. Examples of such compounds include phosphines, thiols, amines, and phosphates. The semiconductor nanocrystals can also be exposed to a short-chain polymer that has an affinity for the semiconductor nanocrystals at one end and a group at the other end that has an affinity for the liquid medium in which the semiconductor nanocrystals are dispersed. This affinity improves suspension stability and hinders flocculation of the semiconductor nanocrystals. In addition, in certain embodiments, the semiconductor nanocrystals can also be prepared using a non-coordinating solvent.
[0058] More specifically, according to the semiconductor nanocrystal of the present invention, its ligand has the structure of the following chemical formula (I):
[0059] wherein k is 2, 3, 4 or 5, and n is 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, such that kn is not less than zero; X is selected from O, OS, O-Se, ON, OP, O-As, S, S=O, SO2, Se, Se=O, N, N=O, P, P=O, O=C=As, or As=O; each Y and L is independent of each other and can be H, OH, an aryl group, a heteroaryl group, or a linear or branched hydrocarbon containing a C2 to C18 carbon chain; and at least one of Y and L comprises a structure of an organic compound H1.
[0060] In certain embodiments, the hydrocarbon may optionally contain at least one double bond, or at least one triple bond, or at least one double bond and triple bond; wherein the hydrocarbon chain may be optionally substituted with one or more of the following groups: C1-C4 alkyl and C2-C4 alkenyl and C2-C4 alkyne, C1-C4 alkoxy, hydroxy, halo, amino, nitro, cyano, C3-C5 cycloalkyl, 3-5 membered heterocycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, C1-C4 alkylcarbonyloxy, C1-C4 alkyloxycarbonyl, C1-C4 alkylcarbonyl, or formyl. The hydrocarbon chain may be optionally interrupted by -O-, -S-, -N(Ra)-, -N(Ra)-C(O)-O-, -OC(O)-N(Ra)-, -N(Ra)-C(O)-N(Rb)-, -OC(O)-O-, -P(Ra)-, or -P(O)(Ra)-, where each Ra and Rb, independently of one another, may be hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkoxy, hydroxyalkyl, hydroxyl, or haloalkyl. An aryl group is a substituted or unsubstituted cyclic aromatic group. Examples include benzene, naphthalene, toluene, anthracenyl, nitrobenzene, or halophenyl. A heteroaryl group is an aromatic group having one or more heteroatoms, such as a furan ring, pyridine, pyrrole, or phenanthrenyl.
[0061] A suitable coordinating ligand can be purchased commercially or prepared by conventional organic synthesis techniques, for example, as described by J. March in Advanced Organic Chemistry, the entire reference of which is incorporated herein by reference. Other ligands are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 7,160,613, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
[0062] The luminescence spectrum of semiconductor nanocrystals or quantum dots can be narrow Gaussian. By adjusting the size of the semiconductor nanocrystals, the composition of the semiconductor nanocrystals, or both, the luminescence spectrum of the semiconductor nanocrystals or quantum dots can be continuously tuned across the entire wavelength range of the ultraviolet, visible, or infrared spectra. For example, a quantum dot containing CdSe can be tuned within the visible region, and a semiconductor nanocrystal or quantum dot containing indium arsenide can be tuned within the infrared region. The narrow particle size distribution of a luminescent semiconductor nanocrystal or quantum dot results in a narrow luminescence spectrum. The collection of grains can be monodisperse, preferably with a diameter deviation of less than 15% rms, more preferably less than 10% rms, and most preferably less than 5% rms. For semiconductor nanocrystals or quantum dots that emit visible light, the luminescence spectrum is within a narrow range, generally no greater than 75 nm, preferably no greater than 60 nm, more preferably no greater than 40 nm, and most preferably no greater than 30 nm in full width at half maximum (FWHM). For infrared-emitting semiconductor nanocrystals or quantum dots, the luminescence spectrum may have a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of no more than 150 nm, or a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of no more than 100 nm. The luminescence spectrum narrows as the width of the quantum dot size distribution narrows.
[0063] Semiconductor nanocrystal or quantum dot can have for example greater than 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% quantum efficiency of luminescence.In a preferred embodiment, the quantum efficiency of luminescence of semiconductor nanocrystal or quantum dot is greater than 70%, better is greater than 80%, preferably greater than 90%.
[0064] The small half-width at half maximum of quantum dots results in luminescence with saturated colors. Using a single material, luminescence with widely adjustable, saturated colors can be achieved across the entire visible light range, a feat unmatched by any other organic chromophore (see, for example, Dabbousi et al., J. Phys. Chem. 1997, 101, p9463). Quantum dots emit light over a narrow wavelength range. A pattern comprising more than one quantum dot can emit light within more than one narrow luminescence range. The color of light perceived by humans can be controlled by selecting the appropriate combination of quantum dot size and material. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can provide information on the size, shape, and grain distribution of quantum dots. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns can provide the most complete information on grain type and quality. Grain size can also be estimated using the X-ray coherence length, where the particle diameter is inversely proportional to the peak width. For example, the diameter of a quantum dot can be measured directly from a transmission electron microscope or estimated from X-ray diffraction data using, for example, the Scherrer equation. It can also be estimated from UV / visible absorption spectra.
[0065] Other materials, techniques, methods, applications and information that may be useful for the present invention are described in the following patent documents: WO2007 / 117698, WO2008 / 13366, WO2007 / 143197, US6207229, US6426513, US6576291, US7138098, US7470379, WO2006134599A1, and the entire contents of the above-listed patent documents are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
[0066] In another preferred embodiment, the semiconductor light-emitting nanocrystal is a nanorod. The characteristics of the nanorod are different from those of the spherical nanocrystal. For example, the luminescence of the nanorod is polarized along the long rod axis, while the luminescence of the spherical crystal is non-polarized (see Woggon et al., Nano Lett., 2003, 3, p509). Nanorods have excellent optical gain characteristics, making them possible to be used as laser gain materials (see Banin et al., Adv. Mater. 2002, 14, p317). In addition, the luminescence of the nanorod can be reversibly turned on and off under the control of an external electric field (see Banin et al., Nano Lett. 2005, 5, p1581). These characteristics of nanorods can be preferentially incorporated into the device of the present invention under certain circumstances. Examples of preparing semiconductor nanorods include WO03097904A1, US2008188063A1, US2009053522A1, and KR20050121443A, and the entire contents of the above-listed patent documents are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

[0071] In a more preferred embodiment, the above-mentioned L1 is selected from -OH, -SH, -NH2, -COOH, -P(O)(OH)2, -P(O)OH or -SO3H.
[0072] For the purpose of the present invention, if the ligand represented by chemical formula (II) is replaced with n hydrogen atoms, i.e., organic compound H1, -[L0-L1]n, organic compound H1 is obtained. For example, if the ligand of the following formula contains a structure of benzene, the corresponding organic compound H1 is benzene; this also means that the ligand described in the present invention contains the structure of organic compound H1.
[0073] According to the inorganic nanoluminescent material of the present invention, the organic compound H1 has a relatively high extinction coefficient. The extinction coefficient is also called the molar extinction coefficient, which refers to the absorption coefficient when the concentration is 1 mol / L, and is represented by the symbol ε, and the unit is Lmol. -1 cm -1 , the preferred extinction coefficient: ε≥1*10 3 ; More preferably: ε≥1*10 4 ; Particularly preferred: ε≥3*10 4 ; Most preferred: ε≥5*10 4 Preferably, the extinction coefficient refers to the extinction coefficient at the wavelength corresponding to the absorption peak.

[0081] In a preferred embodiment, the organic compound H1 is a non-DA structure.
[0082] In the present invention, the energy level structure of organic materials, including the triplet energy level (T1) and singlet energy level (S1), HOMO, LUMO, and the resonance factor intensity f, have a significant impact on their optoelectronic properties and stability. The following describes how to determine these parameters.
[0083] HOMO and LUMO energy levels can be measured by photoelectric effects, such as XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) and UPS (ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy), or by cyclic voltammetry (CV). Recently, quantum chemical methods, such as density functional theory (DFT), have also become effective methods for calculating molecular orbital energy levels.
[0084] The triplet energy level T1 of the organic material can be measured by low-temperature time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy, or obtained by quantum simulation calculation (such as by Time-dependent DFT), such as by the commercial software Gaussian 09W (Gaussian Inc.), and the specific simulation method is described below.
[0085] The singlet energy level S1 of an organic material can be determined by absorption or emission spectroscopy, or obtained by quantum simulation calculations (such as Time-dependent DFT); the resonance factor intensity f can also be obtained by quantum simulation calculations (such as Time-dependent DFT).
[0086] It should be noted that the absolute values of HOMO, LUMO, T1, and S1 depend on the measurement or calculation method used. Even for the same method, different evaluation methods, such as the starting point and peak point on the CV curve, can give different HOMO / LUMO values. Therefore, reasonable and meaningful comparisons should be made using the same measurement and evaluation methods. In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the values of HOMO, LUMO, T1, and S1 are based on time-dependent DFT simulations, but this does not affect the application of other measurement or calculation methods.
[0087] For the purposes of this invention, (HOMO-1) is defined as the second-highest occupied molecular orbital energy level, (HOMO-2) is the third-highest occupied molecular orbital energy level, and so on. (LUMO+1) is defined as the second-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level, (LUMO+2) is the third-lowest occupied molecular orbital energy level, and so on; these energy levels can be determined by the simulation method described below.
