Detailed Description
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used in the description of the invention herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
Referring to fig. 1, a composite electrode according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a metal layer 101, a metal oxide layer 102, and a graphene layer 103, which are sequentially stacked, wherein the metal layer 101 is transparent and has a micro-nano structure on a surface thereof.
The metal layer 101 is transparent, that is, when the composite electrode is used as a light emitting electrode, the metal layer 101 has a certain transparency and does not block the transmission of light.
The metal oxide layer 102 serves to adjust the work function of the surface of the metal layer 101, and the work function is generally linearly related to the thickness of the metal oxide.
The micro-nano structure refers to a functional structure which is artificially designed, has a characteristic dimension of micron or nanometer scale and is arranged according to a specific mode, such as a nano island. Since the metal layer 101 has a micro-nano structure on the surface thereof, plasma (also referred to as free electron gas) exists, and when light emitted from the electroluminescent device passes through the metal layer 101, surface plasmon resonance is likely to occur, thereby enhancing light emission.
After the metal oxide layer 102 and the graphene layer 103 are deposited on the surface of the metal layer 101, electron transfer may occur between the metal layer 101 and the graphene layer 103. Since the metal oxide layer 102 can adjust the work function of the surface of the metal layer 101, and the adjusting effect is related to the thickness of the metal oxide layer 102 (in a linear relationship), the metal oxide layer 102 can adjust the electron transfer between the metal layer 101 and the graphene layer 103.
The electron transfer between the metal layer 101 and the graphene layer 103 changes the free electron concentration on the surface of the metal layer 101, the free electron concentration affects the resonance frequency of the surface plasmon of the metal layer 101, and when the frequency range of the light emitted by the device includes the resonance frequency of the surface plasmon of the metal, the emergent light intensity of the device is enhanced at the resonance frequency point, and meanwhile, the light-emitting peak position of the light-emitting device can be finely adjusted. In general, the free electron concentration on the surface of the metal layer 101 increases, and the surface plasmon resonance peak position is blue shifted; the free electron concentration on the surface of the metal layer 101 is reduced, and the surface plasmon resonance peak position is red-shifted.
Specifically, the work function of graphene is determined to be about 4.0 eV. When the work function of the metal in the metal layer 101 is greater than that of graphene, electrons may be transferred from the graphene layer 103 to the metal layer 101, so that the electrons on the surface of the metal layer 101 increase, the work function of the metal decreases, and the surface plasmon resonance peak position is blue-shifted. On the contrary, when the work function of the metal in the metal layer 101 is smaller than that of the graphene, electrons may be transferred from the metal layer 101 to the graphene layer 103, so that the electrons on the surface of the metal layer 101 are reduced, the work function of the metal is increased, and the surface plasmon resonance peak position is red-shifted.
In addition, the metal oxide in the metal oxide layer 102 has a function of fine-tuning the work function of the metal, so that the work function of the metal surface is increased or decreased, and thus the charge transfer between the metal and the graphene is finally affected. Compared with a binary metal/graphene system, charge transfer between ternary metal/metal oxide/graphene is more dynamic, and the adjustment of the wavelength is more subtle and wider as a result.
Further, the effect of the metal oxide layer 102 in adjusting the work function of the surface of the metal layer 101 is linear with the thickness of the metal oxide layer 102. Specifically, when the work function of the surface of the metal layer 101 is reduced, the reduction of the work function of the surface of the metal layer 101 is more obvious as the thickness of the metal oxide layer 102 is increased; conversely, when the work function of the surface of the metal layer 101 is increased, the increase in the work function of the surface of the metal layer 101 becomes more significant as the thickness of the metal oxide layer 102 is increased. Of course, the metal oxide layer 102 has a limit to adjust the work function of the surface of the metal layer 101, the thickness of the metal oxide layer 102 has a significant adjusting effect on the work function of the surface of the metal layer 101 within a range of several nanometers, and the work function of the surface of the metal layer 101 tends to be unchanged after the thickness of the metal oxide layer 102 exceeds a critical value.
Preferably, the material of the metal layer 101 is at least one selected from Al, Ga, Ag, Cu and Au. That is, the material of the metal layer 101 may be any one of the metals or an alloy of any at least two of the metals.
Preferably, the material of the metal oxide layer 102 is selected from Al2O3、Ga2O3、Ag2At least one of O and CuO. That is, the material of the metal oxide layer 102 may be selected from any one of the above metal oxides or a mixture of any at least two of the metal oxides. These kinds of metal oxide layers 102 can adjust the work function of the surface of the metal layer 101.
The metal type in the metal oxide layer 102 may be the same as or different from that of the metal layer 101. When the metal species in the metal oxide layer 102 is the same as the metal species of the metal layer 101, the metal oxide layer 102 is produced by oxidizing the surface of the metal layer, and thus the production process is simple.
Preferably, the thickness of the metal layer 101 is 5nm to 20 nm. At this time, on the one hand, the metal layer 101 has sufficient light transmittance; on the other hand, the surface of the metal film with the thickness generally has a micro-nano structure regardless of the preparation process. Therefore, when the thickness of the metal layer 101 is 5nm to 20nm, the light transmittance can be ensured, and the surface plasmon resonance can be easily generated, which is advantageous for enhancing the emission of light.
Preferably, the thickness of the metal oxide layer 102 is 0.5nm to 5 nm. At this time, the thickness of the metal oxide layer 102 is moderate, and electron transfer between the barrier metal layer 101 and the graphene layer 103 can be avoided.
Preferably, the thickness of the graphene layer 103 is 0.1nm to 10 nm. In this case, both the electrical performance and the optical performance can be achieved.
The composite electrode according to the present invention may not include the metal oxide layer. At this time, the composite electrode includes a metal layer and a graphene layer which are laminated, the metal layer is transparent, and the surface of the metal layer has a micro-nano structure.
According to the composite electrode adopting the technical scheme, the micro-nano structure is arranged on the surface of the metal layer, so that plasma exists, when light emitted by the electroluminescent device passes through the metal layer, surface plasma resonance is easy to occur, and the emergent light is enhanced. And electron transfer can take place between metal level and the graphite alkene layer, can change the free electron concentration on metal surface, and this free electron concentration can influence the resonant frequency of surface plasma, and when the frequency range of the light that the device emitted contains the resonant frequency of metal surface plasma, at resonant frequency point, the emergent light intensity of device can be strengthened, and meanwhile, the luminous peak position of luminescent device can obtain the fine setting. In general, the free electron concentration of the metal surface is increased, and the resonance peak position of surface plasma is blue-shifted; the free electron concentration of the metal surface is reduced, and the resonance peak position of the surface plasma is red-shifted.

And (3) testing:
the electroluminescent peak positions and the maximum external quantum efficiencies of the electroluminescent devices of examples 1 to 6 and comparative examples 1 to 3 were examined to obtain the data of table 1:
TABLE 1
Examples Peak position of electroluminescence Maximum external quantum efficiency (%)
Example 1 467 13.5
Example 2 471 13.2
Example 3 475 13.7
Example 4 478 13.5
Example 5 450 12.8
Examples6 625 16.2
Comparative example 1 475 13.8
Comparative example 2 460 12.5
Comparative example 3 630 16.7
As can be seen from the data in table 1:
(1) compared with the example 1 and the comparative example 1, the differences of the examples 2 to 4 are that: different from the cathodes, the composite cathodes of examples 2 to 4 were made of Al (work function of 4.3eV)/Al2O3(Fermi level of 2.5 eV)/graphene (work function of 4.0eV), and Al in the composite cathodes of examples 2 to 42O3Gradually increases in thickness. The test result shows that: the external quantum efficiency was not substantially affected, but the emission peak positions of examples 2 to 4 were changed from those of example 1 and comparative example 1.
Specifically, the electroluminescence peak position of the electroluminescent device of example 1 was reduced compared to that of comparative example 1, which is presumed to be because electrons would be transferred from the graphene layer to the Al surface due to the work function of Al being larger than that of graphene, resulting in an increase in electrons at the Al surface and a reduction in the work function of Al, thereby blue-shifting the surface plasmon resonance peak position.
The electroluminescent peak positions of the electroluminescent devices of examples 2 to 4 are gradually increased compared to example 1. This is presumably because Al is attached to the Al surface2O3The work function of Al is gradually reduced due to the increase of the thickness, so that the charge between Al and graphene is transferredThe shift changes from graphene to Al gradually, and the electron concentration on the Al surface gradually changes from high to low, so that the emission peak positions of the electroluminescent devices of examples 2 to 4 are gradually red-shifted relative to the emission peak position of the electroluminescent device of example 1.
(2) Example 5 differs from comparative example 2 in that: the cathode of example 5 was different from the cathode in Ag (work function 4.3eV)/Ag2O (work function greater than Ag)/graphene (work function of 4.0 eV). The test result shows that: the external quantum efficiency has substantially no effect, but the surface plasmon resonance peak position is reduced (blue-shifted). This indicates that the use of the composite electrode of example 5 allows fine adjustment of the emission peak position; this is presumably due to Ag2The presence of O further increases the work function of Ag, so that more electrons are transferred from the graphene layer to the Ag surface, the electrons on the Ag surface are increased, the work function of Ag is reduced, and the resonance peak position of surface plasma is blue shifted.
(3) Example 6 differs from comparative example 3 in that: the anode of example 6 was different from the other, and was Au (work function: 5.1eV)/Al2O3(Fermi level of 2.5 eV)/graphene (work function of 4.0 eV). The test result shows that: the external quantum efficiency has substantially no effect, but the surface plasmon resonance peak position is reduced (blue-shifted). This indicates that the use of the composite electrode of example 6 allows fine adjustment of the emission peak position. This is presumed to be because the work function of Au is larger than that of graphene, and electrons are transferred from the graphene layer to the Au surface, so that the number of electrons on the Au surface increases, the work function of Au decreases, and the surface plasmon resonance peak position is blue-shifted.
The above whole shows that the composite electrode of the present invention has no influence on the external quantum efficiency of the electroluminescent device, but can be used for micro-adjusting the luminescence peak position, and the adjusting effect is irrelevant to the composite electrode as an anode or a cathode.
The technical features of the embodiments described above may be arbitrarily combined, and for the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments described above are not described, but should be considered as being within the scope of the present specification as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.
