Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If organic luminescent materials with unipolar transport properties are used, then the device structure is simple, but the luminous efficiency is greatly reduced due to imbalance in electron and hole injection and transmission rates
Solution Approach 1:
The device is segmented into multiple functional layers including hole injection layer, hole transport layer, electron blocking layer, perovskite luminous layer, electron transport layer, and electron injection layer. This segmentation allows independent optimization of electron and hole transport in different regions, resolving the contradiction between structural simplicity and luminous efficiency by creating a complex but optimized multi-layer structure.
Solution Approach 2:
Different layers are assigned specific transport properties tailored to their functions: hole transport layers have high hole mobility, electron transport layers have high electron mobility, and electron blocking layers have low electron mobility. This local quality differentiation ensures balanced carrier injection and transmission rates at each interface, improving luminous efficiency while maintaining clear functional division.
2Loss of energy
If additional transport layers are added to balance carrier transport, then luminous efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The perovskite luminous layer serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as the light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron blocking layer for the hole transport layer below. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated layers, improving luminous efficiency through balanced carrier transport while limiting the increase in overall device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The perovskite luminous layer acts as an intermediary between the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer, facilitating balanced carrier injection and transport. It mediates the interaction between electrons and holes, enabling efficient recombination and light emission while maintaining balanced carrier rates, thus improving luminous efficiency without requiring excessive additional layers.
