The electropolymerization behaviors of an electroactive and luminescent compound TCPC as precursor are studied. The resultant electrochemical deposition (ED) films are characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV), UV-vis, fluorescence spectra, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Under the CV mode with potential range of -0.5 to 0.85 V vs Ag/Ag(+), the coupling reactions between the carbazole units of TCPC are very efficient, while the fluorescent trifluorene segment in TCPC is chemically inert in this potential range, which results in a highly fluorescent film formation on indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode. The deposition parameters for preparing the TCPC-based ED films are optimized, and the best ED film gives the fluorescence efficiency of 45.5% with surface roughness of 2.8 nm and morphologic stability as heating to 180 degrees C. The light-emitting devices (LEDs) using this ED film as light emitting layer with structure ITO/ED film (approximately 100 nm)/Ba/Al achieve maximum luminescence and external quantum efficiency of 4224 cd/m(2) at 17 V and 0.72% at 11.5 V, respectively, which are better than the device using TCPC spin-coating films as emitting layer. The technique provides a facile route toward a patternable luminescent film and device because such luminescent ED films can be manipulatively deposited on the electrified electrode.
研究了一种具有电活性和发光性的化合物TCPC作为前驱体的电聚合行为。通过循环伏安法(CV)、紫外-可见光谱、荧光光谱、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和原子力显微镜(AFM)对所得的电化学沉积(ED)膜进行了表征。在相对于Ag/Ag(+)的电位范围为-0.5至0.85 V的CV模式下,TCPC咔唑单元之间的偶联反应非常有效,而TCPC中的荧光三芴片段在此电位范围内化学惰性,这导致在氧化铟锡(ITO)电极上形成高度荧光的膜。优化了制备基于TCPC的ED膜的沉积参数,最佳的ED膜在加热至180℃时荧光效率为45.5%,表面粗糙度为2.8 nm且形态稳定。以这种ED膜作为发光层、结构为ITO/ED膜(约100 nm)/Ba/Al的发光器件(LED)在17 V时的最大发光强度为4224 cd/m²,在11.5 V时的外量子效率为0.72%,分别优于以TCPC旋涂膜作为发光层的器件。该技术为制备可图案化的发光膜和器件提供了一条简便途径,因为这种发光ED膜可以可控地沉积在带电电极上。
