Metal sulfides (MeS2) such as MoS2 and WS2 were used as charge transport layers in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells in order to enhance the stability in air comparing to poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (
PSS). MeS2 layers with a polycrystalline structure were synthesized by a chemical deposition method using uniformly spin-coated (NH4)MoS4 and (NH4)WS4 precursor solutions. The ultraviolet-ozone (UV-O3) treatment on MeS2 leads to the removal of the surface contaminants produced by the transfer process, resulting in a uniform surface and an increase of the work function. The maximum luminance efficiencies of the OLEDs with UV-O3-treated MoS2 and WS2 were 9.44 and 10.82 cd/A, respectively. The power conversion efficiencies of OPV cells based on UV-O3-treated MoS2 and WS2 were 2.96 and 3.08%, respectively. These values correspond to over 95% of those obtained with (
PSS) based devices. Furthermore, OLEDs and OPV cells based on MeS2 showed two to six times longer stability in air compared with
PSS based devices. These results suggest that UV-O3-surface-treated MeS2 could be a promising candidate for a charge transport layer in optoelectronic devices.
金属硫化物(MeS2),如 MoS2 和 WS2,被用作有机发光二极管(OLED)和有机光伏(OPV)电池的电荷传输层,以提高在空气中的稳定性,与聚(3,4-亚乙基二氧噻吩):聚(苯乙烯磺酸盐)(PEDOT:PSS)相比。使用均匀旋涂的(NH4)MoS4 和(NH4)WS4 前体溶液,通过化学沉积方法合成具有多晶结构的 MeS2 层。MeS2 上的紫外-臭氧(UV-O3)处理导致转移过程中产生的表面污染物被去除,从而得到均匀的表面和功函数的增加。经过 UV-O3 处理的 MoS2 和 WS2 的 OLED 的最大亮度效率分别为 9.44 和 10.82 cd/A。基于 UV-O3 处理的 MoS2 和 WS2 的 OPV 电池的功率转换效率分别为 2.96%和 3.08%。这些值对应于基于(PEDOT:PSS)的器件的 95%以上。此外,与基于(PEDOT:PSS)的器件相比,基于 MeS2 的 OLED 和 OPV 电池在空气中的稳定性提高了两到六倍。这些结果表明,UV-O3 表面处理的 MeS2 可能是光电设备中电荷传输层的有前途的候选材料。
