Description

Quantum dot film and quantum dot light-emitting diode
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of quantum dot light-emitting devices, in particular to a quantum dot film and a quantum dot light-emitting diode.
Background
The quantum dot is a special material which is limited to the nanometer order of magnitude in three dimensions, and the remarkable quantum confinement effect enables the quantum dot to have a plurality of unique nanometer properties: the emission wavelength is continuously adjustable, the light-emitting wavelength is narrow, the absorption spectrum is wide, the light-emitting intensity is high, the fluorescence lifetime is long, the biocompatibility is good, and the like. The characteristics enable the quantum dots to have wide application prospects in the fields of biomarkers, flat panel display, solid-state lighting, photovoltaic solar energy and the like.
In a semiconductor quantum dot material system in the photoelectric field, the cadmium-free quantum dot has the characteristics of environmental protection and green due to the excellent luminescence property of the quantum dot and the fact that the cadmium-free quantum dot does not contain heavy metal cadmium (Cd). However, in the comparison of very important indexes in photoelectric applications such as luminous efficiency and luminous purity (i.e. luminous peak width), the performance of the cadmium-free quantum dots will still significantly lag behind that of the classical cadmium-containing quantum dot system (such as CdSe). The preparation of the cadmium-free quantum dot generally adopts a metallorganic thermal decomposition thermal injection method similar to the cadmium-containing quantum dot, and also adopts a core-shell structure to improve the luminous efficiency and the material stability of the cadmium-free quantum dot on the structural design of the quantum dot.
In the currently widely adopted cadmium-free quantum dot core-shell structure, ZnS, ZnSe or an alloyed structure ZnSeS of ZnSeS and ZnSeS are mainly adopted as a shell structure, but because the shell structure of the components has obvious lattice mismatch with a cadmium-free quantum dot core (such as InP), and because the lattice mismatch cannot be reduced by a method of alloying the core shell due to the inconsistency of the crystal structures, the thickness of the shell layer for realizing better quantum dot performance is smaller than that of a cadmium-containing quantum dot, the particle size of the whole cadmium-free quantum dot core-shell structure is generally about 4-5 nanometers, and the particle size of the cadmium-containing quantum dot used in the quantum dot display technology at present is generally more than 8 nanometers.
The thin shell layer of the cadmium-free quantum dot core-shell structure and the characteristic of small particle size can cause the quantum dots to form a solid film, and then the fluorescence Energy resonance Transfer (FRET) is caused by the interaction between the strong quantum dots, so that the luminous efficiency of the film is remarkably reduced, and as mentioned above, the luminous efficiency of the quantum dots is greatly reduced by increasing the thickness of the shell layer and further increasing the whole particle size. The low luminous efficiency of such a thin film of cadmium-free quantum dots thus also contributes to the low efficiency of the corresponding QLED device.
Therefore, the existing cadmium-free quantum dot thin film and the corresponding structure of the QLED device have disadvantages and problems, and further improvement is needed.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a quantum dot thin film and a quantum dot light emitting diode, which aims to solve the problems that the light emitting efficiency of the existing cadmium-free quantum dot thin film is greatly reduced due to the severe FRET effect caused by the strong interaction, and the light emitting efficiency of the corresponding quantum dot light emitting diode is also greatly reduced.
The technical scheme of the invention is as follows:
a quantum dot film comprising cadmium-free quantum dots and spacer quantum dots dispersed between the cadmium-free quantum dots;
the cadmium-free quantum dots are of a core-shell structure;
the metal elements forming the interval quantum dot material and the metal elements forming the shell layer material of the cadmium-free quantum dot are in the same group; the non-metallic elements forming the material of the spaced quantum dots and the non-metallic elements forming the material of the shell layer of the cadmium-free quantum dots are in the same group.
The quantum dot light-emitting diode comprises a quantum dot light-emitting layer, wherein the quantum dot light-emitting layer is the quantum dot film.
Has the advantages that: by adding the interval quantum dots, the distance between the cadmium-free quantum dots can be effectively increased, so that the interaction between the cadmium-free quantum dots and the FRET effect generated by the cadmium-free quantum dots are effectively weakened, and the luminous efficiency of the quantum dot film is improved; the mode that the distance between the cadmium-free quantum dots is increased by adding other spacing materials is obviously different from the mode that the distance between the cadmium-free quantum dots is increased by adding other spacing materials, the spacing quantum dots adopt a structure which is the same as or similar to the cadmium-free quantum dot shell layer, the consistency and the continuity of the whole quantum dot film on the energy level can be ensured, namely the spacing quantum dots can still provide effective energy level constraint on the cadmium-free quantum dots, the energy level constraint effect of the original shell layer of the cadmium-free quantum dots is extended, and extra lattice mismatch is not introduced; the interval quantum dots with wide energy band gaps can realize energy transfer to the cadmium-free luminescent quantum dots, and fully utilize charges injected into the quantum dot layer and generated excitons; in addition, the spacer quantum dots with wide band gaps, i.e., high-energy photons, can realize energy transfer to the cadmium-free quantum dots, and make full use of the charges injected into the quantum dot layer and the generated excitons; and finally, the interval quantum dots can effectively fill gaps formed when the film is formed, so that the quantum dot film with flatness and good compactness is realized.

In conclusion, the distance between the cadmium-free quantum dots can be effectively increased by adding the spacing quantum dots, so that the interaction between the cadmium-free quantum dots and the FRET effect generated by the interaction are effectively weakened, and the luminous efficiency of the cadmium-free quantum dot film is improved; the mode that the distance between the cadmium-free quantum dots is increased by adding other spacing materials is obviously different from the mode that the distance between the cadmium-free quantum dots is increased by adding other spacing materials, the spacing quantum dots adopt a structure which is the same as or similar to the cadmium-free quantum dot shell layer, the consistency and the continuity of the whole quantum dot film on the energy level can be ensured, namely the spacing quantum dots can still provide effective energy level constraint on the cadmium-free quantum dots, the energy level constraint effect of the original shell layer of the cadmium-free quantum dots is extended, and extra lattice mismatch is not introduced; in addition, the spacer quantum dots with wide band gaps, i.e., high-energy photons, can realize energy transfer to the cadmium-free quantum dots, and make full use of the charges injected into the quantum dot layer and the generated excitons; and finally, the interval quantum dots can effectively fill gaps formed when the film is formed, so that the quantum dot film with flatness and good compactness is realized.
It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the examples described above, but that modifications and variations may be effected thereto by those of ordinary skill in the art in light of the foregoing description, and that all such modifications and variations are intended to be within the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
