For the first time, large-area CVD-grown graphene films transferred onto flexible PET substrates were used as transparent conductive electrodes in alternating current electroluminescence (ACEL) devices. The flexible ACEL device based on a single-layer graphene electrode has a turn-on voltage of 80 V; at 480 V (16 kHz), the luminance and luminous efficiency are 1140 cd/m(2) and 5.0 lm/W, respectively. The turn-on voltage increases and the luminance decreases with increasing stacked layers of graphene, which means the single-layer graphene is the best optimal choice as the transparent conductive electrode. Furthermore, it demonstrates that the graphene-based ACEL device is highly flexible and can work very well even under a very large strain of 5.4%, suggesting great potential applications in flexible optoelectronics.
首次将大面积化学气相沉积(CVD)生长的石墨烯薄膜转移到柔性聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)衬底上,用作交流电致发光(ACEL)器件中的透明导电电极。基于单层石墨烯电极的柔性 ACEL 器件的开启电压为 80 V;在 480 V(16 kHz)时,亮度和发光效率分别为 1140 cd/m²和 5.0 lm/W。随着石墨烯堆叠层数的增加,开启电压增加,亮度降低,这意味着作为透明导电电极,单层石墨烯是最佳的选择。此外,该研究表明基于石墨烯的 ACEL 器件具有高柔韧性,即使在 5.4%的大应变下也能很好地工作,这表明其在柔性光电子学中有很大的应用潜力。
