First, oleophilic carbon dots (CDs) with a fluorescence quantum yield (QY) of 41% were synthesized by a one-pot microwave-assisted carbonization method. Then, CD-based electroluminescent light emitting diodes (CD-LEDs) were prepared. The impact of CD aggregation on the brightness of CD-LEDs was studied. The results show that, to some extent, with the decrease of the aggregation of the CD film, the luminescence quenching of the CD-LEDs gradually decreased, and the luminance of the CD-LEDs gradually increased. Hence, in order to improve the dispersion of CDs and reduce the aggregation of CDs and the luminescence quenching of the devices, host-guest doping was adopted to effectively improve the brightness of CD-LEDs. In this work, the yellow emission of the doped devices is mainly derived from the direct carrier trapping on CDs. Moreover, white and yellow CD-LEDs were obtained from the same oleophilic CDs by tuning the structure of the devices. The white CD-LEDs exhibit a high color rendering index (CRI) of 83 with a luminance of 455.2 cd m-2. The yellow CD-LEDs show the maximum brightness of 339.5 cd m-2 and excellent color stability. The results show that the luminescence quenching of CD-LEDs was resisted and the brightness of CD-LEDs was improved by using host-guest doping.
首先,通过一锅微波辅助碳化法合成了具有 41%荧光量子产率(QY)的亲油性碳点(CDs)。然后,制备了基于 CD 的电致发光发光二极管(CD-LEDs)。研究了 CD 聚集对 CD-LEDs 亮度的影响。结果表明,在一定程度上,随着 CD 膜聚集程度的降低,CD-LEDs 的发光猝灭逐渐降低,CD-LEDs 的亮度逐渐增加。因此,为了提高 CDs 的分散性,降低 CDs 的聚集程度和器件的发光猝灭,采用主客体掺杂有效地提高了 CD-LEDs 的亮度。在这项工作中,掺杂器件的黄色发射主要源于 CDs 上的直接载流子俘获。此外,通过调整器件的结构,从相同的亲油性 CDs 获得了白色和黄色 CD-LEDs。白色 CD-LEDs 的显色指数(CRI)高达 83,亮度为 455.2 cd/m2。黄色 CD-LEDs 显示出 339.5 cd/m2 的最大亮度和出色的颜色稳定性。结果表明,通过主客体掺杂抑制了 CD-LEDs 的发光猝灭,提高了 CD-LEDs 的亮度。
