混合薄膜及制备方法与QLED器件制备方法Mixed film and preparation method and QLED device preparation method 技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及发光二极管技术领域,尤其涉及一种混合薄膜及制备方法与QLED器件制备方法。The invention relates to the technical field of light-emitting diodes, in particular to a mixed film and a preparation method thereof and a method for preparing a QLED device.
背景技术Background technique
胶体(Colloid)量子点是基于液相分布的纳米材料体系。胶体量子点通过不同的制备工艺(旋涂、打印、转印或涂布等),制备量子点多层或单层薄膜。由于胶体量子点体系中,量子点分散在溶剂中,成膜后溶剂挥发,形成只有量子点堆积的固体薄膜。量子点之间以微弱的范德华力链接,在外界作用下(机械力,溶剂等),薄膜形态不能保持,因此胶体量子点的应用受到很大限制。例如,在量子点发光二极管(QLED)的制备过程中,由于量子点无法交联,可能被量子点层上的制备过程用的溶剂冲走,因此限制了QLED的制备工艺和材料选择,从而制约了QLED的性质和应用。Colloid quantum dots are nanomaterial systems based on liquid phase distribution. Colloidal quantum dots are prepared by different preparation processes (spin coating, printing, transfer or coating, etc.) to prepare quantum dot multilayer or single layer films. In the colloidal quantum dot system, the quantum dots are dispersed in a solvent, and the solvent evaporates after film formation, forming a solid film in which only quantum dots are deposited. Quantum dots are linked by weak Van der Waals forces. Under external action (mechanical force, solvent, etc.), the morphology of the film cannot be maintained, so the application of colloidal quantum dots is greatly limited. For example, in the preparation of quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs), since quantum dots cannot be cross-linked, they may be washed away by the solvent used in the preparation process on the quantum dot layer, thereby limiting the preparation process and material selection of QLEDs, thereby restricting The nature and application of QLED.
目前量子点交联的解决方案主要运用化学方法,即在量子点制备过程中添加化学交联基团,成膜后通过热处理或者光处理,使交联基团反应,从而交联量子点。此方法的问题是交联基团通常是化学活性很强的基团,比如:-CH=O和-OH等基团,这些交联基团会使量子点淬灭,从而影响量子点的发光效率和电子迁移率。其次在含量子点和载体的混合薄膜中,一般载体不和量子点交联,即只是载体交联,因为载体有交联基团。At present, the solution of quantum dot cross-linking mainly uses a chemical method, that is, adding a chemical crosslinking group in the process of preparing a quantum dot, and forming a film, and then crosslinking the quantum dot by heat treatment or light treatment to react the crosslinking group. The problem with this method is that the cross-linking groups are usually chemically active groups, such as: -CH=O and -OH groups, which crosslink the quantum dots and affect the luminescence of the quantum dots. Efficiency and electron mobility. Secondly, in the mixed film of the content sub-dots and the carrier, the general carrier is not crosslinked with the quantum dots, that is, only the carrier is crosslinked because the carrier has a crosslinking group.
因此,现有技术还有待于改进和发展。Therefore, the prior art has yet to be improved and developed.
发明内容Summary of the invention

本发明利用HHIC技术对包含量子点与载体的混合薄膜进行交联处理,使得混合薄膜中独立的量子点与载体交联在一起,得到交联的混合薄膜。另外,本发明HHIC交联方法不需要交联基团,可以大大减少交联基团对量子点的淬灭,从而提高量子点的发光效率。此外,由于HHIC交联过程中产生大量的自由基,自由基可以迁移到杂质上,钝化杂质对量子点的淬灭,从而进一步提高量子点的发光效率。The invention utilizes the HHIC technology to cross-link the mixed film containing the quantum dots and the carrier, so that the independent quantum dots in the mixed film are cross-linked with the carrier to obtain a crosslinked mixed film. In addition, the HHIC crosslinking method of the present invention does not require a crosslinking group, and the quenching of the quantum dots by the crosslinking group can be greatly reduced, thereby improving the luminous efficiency of the quantum dots. In addition, due to the large amount of free radicals generated during the HHIC cross-linking process, the free radicals can migrate to the impurities, and the quenching impurities quench the quantum dots, thereby further improving the luminous efficiency of the quantum dots.
一种混合薄膜,其中,所述混合薄膜采用本发明所述的制备方法制备而成。A mixed film in which the mixed film is prepared by the production method described in the present invention.

本发明提供一种混合薄膜及制备方法与QLED器件制备方法,为使本发明的目的、技术方案及效果更加清楚、明确,以下对本发明进一步详细说明。应当理解,此处所描述的具体实施例仅仅用以解释本发明,并不用于限定本发明。The present invention provides a mixed film, a preparation method and a method for preparing a QLED device. In order to make the objects, technical solutions and effects of the present invention more clear and clear, the present invention will be further described in detail below. It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
HHIC(Hyperthermal hydrogen induced cross-linking)技术是通过H 2作为起始反应剂,然后使H 2转变成H等离子,接着以适合能量的H等离子打开C-H,H-O,S-H,H-N等化学键。之后这些打开的化学键重新接合,从而把化学物质交联在一起。此方法耗时短,条件要求低(室温),对反应物没有特殊要求,而且不会产生新的物质。 The HHIC (Hyperthermal hydrogen induced cross-linking) technique uses H 2 as a starting reactant, then converts H 2 to H plasma, and then opens CH, HO, SH, HN and other chemical bonds with H plasma suitable for energy. These open chemical bonds are then rejoined to crosslink the chemicals together. This method is short in time, low in requirements (room temperature), no special requirements on the reactants, and no new substances are produced.
具体地,HHIC反应器中,通过电子回旋加速离子源,利用电子回旋共振使等离子体电离。微波被注入到一定体积的频率对应的电子回旋共振。该容积包含低压气体如氢气、氦气等。微波的交替电场设置为与气体自由电子的回转周期同步,并增加其垂直动能。随后,当带电的自由电子与体积中的气体碰撞时,如果它们的动能大于原子或分子的电离能,它们就会引起电离。电离后的粒子通过电场加速获得一定的动能,获得动能的粒子通过碰撞,把能量传递到不带电的粒子。 通过调节电场的大小,控制粒子的动能。已具有一定动能的粒子如H 2作为起始反应剂,交联目标薄膜。一般的,带有H键的键能如下表1。 Specifically, in the HHIC reactor, the ion source is accelerated by electron cyclotron, and the plasma is ionized by electron cyclotron resonance. The microwave is injected into the electron cyclotron resonance corresponding to a certain volume of frequency. This volume contains a low pressure gas such as hydrogen, helium or the like. The alternating electric field of the microwave is set to synchronize with the revolution period of the gas free electrons and increase its vertical kinetic energy. Subsequently, when the charged free electrons collide with the gas in the volume, if their kinetic energy is greater than the ionization energy of the atom or molecule, they cause ionization. The ionized particles are accelerated by the electric field to obtain a certain kinetic energy, and the kinetic energy particles are passed through the collision to transfer the energy to the uncharged particles. The kinetic energy of the particles is controlled by adjusting the magnitude of the electric field. A particle having a certain kinetic energy such as H 2 is used as a starting reactant to crosslink the target film. In general, the key with the H bond can be as shown in Table 1 below.

因此用一定能量的H 2,可以打开H键。形成氢元素和其他基团的自由基,涉及到的反应如下: Therefore, with a certain energy of H 2 , the H bond can be turned on. The free radicals that form hydrogen and other groups are involved in the following reactions:
-C-H→-C·+H··     (1);-C-H→-C·+H·· (1);
-N-H→-N·+H··     (2);-N-H→-N·+H·· (2);
-O-H→-O·+H··     (3);-O-H→-O·+H·· (3);
-Si-H→-Si·+H··     (4);-Si-H→-Si·+H·· (4);
-P-H→-P·+H··     (5);-P-H→-P·+H·· (5);
-S-H→-S·+H··     (6);-S-H→-S·+H·· (6);
=C-H→=C·+H··     (7)。=C-H→=C·+H·· (7).
上述自由基可以相互结合,从而使物质交联到一起。在有机物中,-C-H键是大量存在的,并且-C-H的键能和H-H键的键能很接近,因此,-C-H是最可能发生交联反应的。而通过调节电场可以控制反应能量,从而有针对性的打开不同的化学键。使用H 2作为反应物,不会产生新的副产物。而生成的H 2,返回通过气流带走。 The above radicals may be combined with each other to crosslink the substances together. In the organic matter, the -CH bond is abundantly present, and the bond energy of -CH is very close to the bond energy of the HH bond, and therefore -CH is most likely to undergo a cross-linking reaction. By adjusting the electric field, the reaction energy can be controlled to open different chemical bonds in a targeted manner. The use of H 2 as a reactant does not produce new by-products. The generated H 2 is returned by the airflow.
当自由基形成后,可以在薄膜中扩散:When free radicals are formed, they can diffuse in the film:
·C-C-C-……-C-C-C-H→H-C-C-C-……-C-C-C·  (8)·C-C-C-......-C-C-C-H→H-C-C-C-......-C-C-C· (8)
一开始自由基在薄膜的表面浓度很大,通过扩散,自由基可以向薄膜内部迁移,这样交联反应在薄膜内部发生,从而使整个薄膜交联。At the beginning, the radical has a large concentration on the surface of the film. By diffusion, the radical can migrate into the interior of the film, so that the crosslinking reaction takes place inside the film, thereby crosslinking the entire film.
以此同时,自由基是非常活跃的,不同的自由基之间可以相互反应,自由基与非自由基可以发生质子交换,例如下式(9):At the same time, free radicals are very active, and different free radicals can react with each other. Free radicals and non-free radicals can undergo proton exchange, such as the following formula (9):
-X·+H-R-→-X-H+·R  (9);其中H-R-是烷烃基团,X是其他因素,因此这种质子交换的反应,可以扩大交联的物质范围。-X·+H-R-→-X-H+·R (9); wherein H-R- is an alkane group and X is another factor, so this proton exchange reaction can broaden the range of crosslinked substances.

现有技术中,多组分的交联需要不同的交联剂或交联官能团,对量子点产生影响,如交联基团-CH=O、-OH的存在,使量子点淬灭,严重影响量子点的发光效率。本发明对现有技术进行了改进,改进的核心之处在于:利用HHIC技术对包含量子点与载体的混合薄膜进行交联处理,使得混合薄膜中独立的量子点与载体交联在一起,形成交联的混合薄膜。本发明利用HHIC技术不需要交联剂或交联官能团,有利于多组分混合保持基团性能。另外,量子点与载体的混合薄膜中,一般载体难以和量子点交联,即只是载体之间交联,因为载体有交联基团。本发明利用HHIC技术可以交联量子点和载体,具体是通过HHIC技术使量子点表面的有机配体和其他有机/无机基团交联。此外,本发明利用HHIC技术,不需要交联剂或交联官能团,可以大大减少量子点淬灭,从而提高量子点的发光效率。且由于HHIC交联过程中产生大量的自由基,自由基可以迁移到杂质上,钝化杂质对量子点的淬灭,从而进一步提高量子点的发光效率。In the prior art, cross-linking of multiple components requires different cross-linking agents or cross-linking functional groups, which have an effect on quantum dots, such as the presence of cross-linking groups -CH=O, -OH, quenching quantum dots, serious Affect the luminous efficiency of quantum dots. The invention improves the prior art, and the core of the improvement is that the hybrid film containing the quantum dots and the carrier is cross-linked by the HHIC technology, so that the independent quantum dots and the carrier are cross-linked together in the mixed film to form Crosslinked mixed film. The present invention utilizes HHIC technology without the need for a crosslinking agent or a crosslinking functional group, which facilitates multi-component mixing to maintain group properties. In addition, in a mixed film of a quantum dot and a carrier, it is generally difficult for the carrier to crosslink with the quantum dot, that is, only the carrier is crosslinked because the carrier has a crosslinking group. The invention utilizes HHIC technology to crosslink quantum dots and carriers, in particular to crosslink organic ligands on the surface of quantum dots with other organic/inorganic groups by HHIC technology. In addition, the present invention utilizes the HHIC technology, does not require a crosslinking agent or a cross-linking functional group, and can greatly reduce quenching of quantum dots, thereby improving the luminous efficiency of quantum dots. Moreover, due to the large amount of free radicals generated during the HHIC cross-linking process, the free radicals can migrate to the impurities, and the quenching impurities quench the quantum dots, thereby further improving the luminous efficiency of the quantum dots.

现有技术中,通过真空物理沉积、PECVD等方法,可以确保无机物很好的包裹量子点,但是这些方法受到真空工艺的限制,无法应用到溶液法中。本发明对现有技术进行了改进,改进的核心之处在于:通过溶液法将含无机物前驱体和 量子点的混合液制成含无机物前驱体和量子点的混合薄膜,然后利用HHIC技术对含无机物前驱体和量子点的混合薄膜进行交联处理,使得混合薄膜中形成的无机物和量子点交联在一起,得到无机物包裹量子点的混合薄膜。本发明利用HHIC技术,实现了通过溶液法将无机物前驱体和量子点的混合液制成无机物和量子点交联的混合薄膜,形成无机物包裹量子点的结构。In the prior art, inorganic physical materials can be well wrapped by quantum physical deposition, PECVD, etc., but these methods are limited by the vacuum process and cannot be applied to the solution method. The invention improves the prior art, and the core of the improvement is that a mixed liquid containing an inorganic precursor and a quantum dot is prepared into a mixed film containing an inorganic precursor and a quantum dot by a solution method, and then HHIC technology is utilized. The mixed film containing the inorganic precursor and the quantum dots is cross-linked to crosslink the inorganic substances and quantum dots formed in the mixed film to obtain a mixed film of inorganic-encapsulated quantum dots. The invention utilizes the HHIC technology to realize a mixed film of an inorganic precursor and a quantum dot by a solution method to form a mixed film of an inorganic substance and a quantum dot cross-linking, thereby forming a structure in which an inorganic substance encapsulates a quantum dot.
更进一步地,本发明还可在无机物前驱体和量子点的体系中加入有机物,然后通过溶液法制成含无机物前驱体、有机物和量子点的混合薄膜,最后通过HHIC技术,使得无机物前驱体、有机物和量子点之间发生交联,形成无机物和有机物包裹量子点的结构。具体无机物、有机物和量子点交联的步骤如下:Furthermore, the present invention can also add an organic substance to a system of an inorganic precursor and a quantum dot, and then form a mixed film containing an inorganic precursor, an organic substance and a quantum dot by a solution method, and finally make an inorganic precursor by HHIC technology.

所述步骤S13具体包括:将含无机物、有机物和量子点的混合薄膜置于HHIC反应器中,通入H 2,并使H 2转变成H等离子,通过H等离子对含无机物前驱体、有机物和量子点的混合薄膜进行交联处理,使得无机物、有机物和量子点之间发生交联,得到无机物、有机物包裹量子点的混合薄膜。 The step S13 specifically includes: placing a mixed film containing inorganic substances, organic matters, and quantum dots in an HHIC reactor, introducing H 2 , and converting H 2 into H plasma, and passing the inorganic precursor by H plasma, The mixed film of the organic substance and the quantum dot is cross-linked to crosslink the inorganic substance, the organic substance and the quantum dot to obtain a mixed film of the inorganic substance and the organic substance-encapsulated quantum dot.
通过真空方法,无机物前驱体和有机物更难以较好的包裹量子点,因为一般的真空物理沉积、PECVD等方法,由于能量太高无法沉积有机物。可以沉积有机物的蒸镀法,由于无机物前驱体的气化温度过高,不能很好的沉积无机物前驱体。本发明对现有技术进行了改进,改进的核心之处在于:利用HHIC技术对含无机物前驱体、有机物和量子点的混合薄膜进行交联处理,使得混合薄膜中独立的无机物、有机物和量子点交联在一起,形成无机物、有机物包裹量子点的混合薄膜。本发明通过HHIC技术,使得量子点与无机物、有机物交联在一起,确保无机物和有机物较好的包裹量子点。By the vacuum method, the inorganic precursor and the organic matter are more difficult to better encapsulate the quantum dots, because the general vacuum physical deposition, PECVD and the like cannot deposit organic matter because the energy is too high. The vapor deposition method in which an organic substance can be deposited, because the vaporization temperature of the inorganic precursor is too high, the inorganic precursor cannot be well deposited. The invention improves the prior art, and the core of the improvement is that the hybrid film containing the inorganic precursor, the organic substance and the quantum dot is cross-linked by the HHIC technology, so that the inorganic and organic substances in the mixed film are independent. The quantum dots are cross-linked to form a mixed film of inorganic and organic-encapsulated quantum dots.

图2为本发明一种量子点发光二极管器件的制备方法较佳实施例的流程图,如图所示,包括步骤:2 is a flow chart of a preferred embodiment of a method for fabricating a quantum dot light emitting diode device according to the present invention, as shown in the figure, including the steps:
S21、在底电极基板表面沉积第一功能层;S21, depositing a first functional layer on a surface of the bottom electrode substrate;
S22、将所述第一功能层放入HHIC反应器中并通入H 2,所述H 2电离后形成H等离子,通过所述H等离子使所述第一功能层中的溶质成分交联; S22, the first functional layer is placed in the HHIC reactor and H 2 is introduced , and the H 2 is ionized to form a H plasma, and the solute component in the first functional layer is cross-linked by the H plasma;
S23、在交联后的第一功能层表面沉积量子点发光层,并通过H等离子使所述量子点发光层中的量子点交联;S23, depositing a quantum dot luminescent layer on the surface of the first functional layer after crosslinking, and crosslinking the quantum dots in the quantum dot luminescent layer by H plasma;
S24、在交联后的量子点发光层表面沉积第二功能层,并通过H等离子使所述第二功能层中的溶质成分交联;S24, depositing a second functional layer on the surface of the cross-linked quantum dot emitting layer, and crosslinking the solute component in the second functional layer by H plasma;
S25、在交联后的第二功能层上沉积阴极层,制得量子点发光二极管。S25, depositing a cathode layer on the second functional layer after crosslinking to obtain a quantum dot light emitting diode.
具体来说,采用现有技术制备QLED器件过程中存在一个巨大屏障,其要求不同层之间要满足溶液的正交性,即相邻层的溶剂、溶质不能够相容,这极大地限制了器件对量子点和功能层的选材范围,并阻碍了QLED工艺的发展;Specifically, there is a huge barrier in the process of preparing a QLED device by using the prior art, which requires that the orthogonality of the solution be satisfied between different layers, that is, the solvent and solute of the adjacent layer are not compatible, which greatly limits the limitation. The selection of quantum dots and functional layers for the device and hinders the development of the QLED process;
为解决上述问题,本发明通过H等离子对沉积在底电极基板上的第一功能层进行处理,使所述第一功能层中的溶质成分发生交联;之后在交联后的第一功能层中依次沉积量子点发光层、第二功能层和顶电极层,并分别对所述量子点发光层和第二功能层进行交联处理,从而制备出量子点发光二极管;通过本发明提供的方法,由于功能层和量子点发光层均进行了交联处理,因此在制备QLED器件的过程中则不需要考虑功能层和量子点发光层之间溶剂的正交性问题,这极大地扩展了QLED等光电器件的材料选择和工艺过程;并且本发明方法不会改变交联基团的性质,也不会产生副产物,极大地提高了QLED器件的稳定性和使用寿命以及发光效率。In order to solve the above problems, the present invention processes the first functional layer deposited on the bottom electrode substrate by H plasma to crosslink the solute components in the first functional layer; then the first functional layer after crosslinking Depositing a quantum dot luminescent layer, a second functional layer and a top electrode layer in sequence, and respectively performing cross-linking treatment on the quantum dot luminescent layer and the second functional layer, thereby preparing a quantum dot light emitting diode; the method provided by the present invention Since the functional layer and the quantum dot luminescent layer are cross-linked, there is no need to consider the orthogonality of the solvent between the functional layer and the quantum dot luminescent layer in the process of preparing the QLED device, which greatly expands the QLED. The material selection and process of the optoelectronic device; and the method of the invention does not change the properties of the crosslinking group, nor does it produce by-products, which greatly improves the stability and service life of the QLED device and the luminous efficiency.
进一步,对于量子点来说,量子点在溶剂中的溶解性由其配体所决定的,如 果配体是亲水性的,那么量子点可以溶解到极性溶剂中,如水、乙醇等;如果配体是憎水性的,那么量子点可以溶解到非极性溶剂中,如氯苯、烷烃;Further, for quantum dots, the solubility of a quantum dot in a solvent is determined by its ligand. If the ligand is hydrophilic, the quantum dot can be dissolved into a polar solvent such as water, ethanol, etc.; The ligand is hydrophobic, then the quantum dots can be dissolved in a non-polar solvent such as chlorobenzene or alkanes;
由于不同的配体和溶剂类型会影响到量子点的发光、电学以及成膜性能,因此,为保证一些QLED器件结构的特定性能,只能用同一种溶剂来溶解量子点材料和功能层材料,从而制备出溶剂相同的量子点发光层和功能层;然而,当采用同一种溶剂来制备量子点发光层和功能层的过程中,由于相邻层的溶质与溶剂会发生互溶,即量子点发光层上的量子点容易被功能层制备过程中所使用的溶剂给冲走,或者功能层上的溶质容易被量子点发光层制备过程中所使用的溶剂冲走,从而QLED器件制备失败。Since different ligands and solvent types affect the luminescence, electrical and film-forming properties of quantum dots, in order to ensure the specific properties of some QLED device structures, only the same solvent can be used to dissolve the quantum dot material and the functional layer material. Thus, a quantum dot luminescent layer and a functional layer having the same solvent are prepared; however, when the same solvent is used to prepare the quantum dot luminescent layer and the functional layer, the solute and solvent of the adjacent layer are mutually soluble, that is, quantum dot luminescence The quantum dots on the layer are easily washed away by the solvent used in the preparation of the functional layer, or the solute on the functional layer is easily washed away by the solvent used in the preparation of the quantum dot light-emitting layer, so that the QLED device fails to be prepared.
为解决该问题,可通过交联作用使所述量子点发光层和功能层各自发生交联,从而保证各功能层和量子点发光层上的溶剂与溶质不会发生互溶;In order to solve the problem, the quantum dot light-emitting layer and the functional layer may be cross-linked by cross-linking, thereby ensuring that the solvent and the solute on the functional layer and the quantum dot light-emitting layer are not mutually soluble;
以量子点交联为例,现有的量子点交联过程通常是通过化学方法实现的,即在量子点制备过程中添加化学交联基团,成膜后通过热处理或者光处理,使交联基团反应,从而交联所述量子点;然而该方法存在的问题是:交联基团通常是化学活性很强的基团,其存在会影响量子点的发光效率以及电子迁移率等;其次,在交联过程中容易产生副产物,这些副产物作为杂质很难从量子点发光层中去除,因此,化学交联并不是一种很实用的交联方案;Taking quantum dot cross-linking as an example, the existing quantum dot cross-linking process is usually achieved by chemical methods, that is, adding chemical crosslinking groups during the preparation of quantum dots, and forming a film by heat treatment or light treatment to crosslink. The group reacts to crosslink the quantum dots; however, the method has problems in that the crosslinking group is usually a chemically active group, and its presence affects the luminous efficiency and electron mobility of the quantum dots; In the cross-linking process, by-products are easily generated, and these by-products are difficult to remove as quantum impurities from the quantum dot light-emitting layer. Therefore, chemical cross-linking is not a practical cross-linking scheme;
另一种能够实现量子点交联的方法是加热交联,该方法存在的问题则是:加热容易破坏交联物质的性质,特别是一些官能团在高温下容易发生化学反应;并且液相前驱体还可能存在分相问题,特别是量子点和有机物,由于表面能不同,加热后薄膜的空间物理分布容易不均匀。Another method capable of realizing cross-linking of quantum dots is heating cross-linking. The problem of the method is that heating easily breaks down the properties of the cross-linking substance, in particular, some functional groups are prone to chemical reactions at high temperatures; and liquid phase precursors There may also be phase separation problems, especially quantum dots and organic matter. Due to the difference in surface energy, the spatial physical distribution of the film after heating is easily uneven.
为解决上述交联过程所存在的问题,本发明采用HHIC(Hyperthermal hydrogen induced cross-linking)技术来实现量子点的交联;所述HHIC技术是通过H 2作为起始反应剂,然后使H 2转变成H等离子,接着以适合能量的H等离子打开C-H,H-O,S-H,H-N等化学键;之后这些打开的化学键重新接合,从而把化学物质交联在一起。优选地,在量子点薄膜的制备过程中,控制所述H等离子的能量为1~100eV,更优选的H等离子的能量为5~70eV,在这个范围内可以制备合适交联度的混合薄膜,薄膜均匀性好。优选地,控制所述交联处理的时间为1~30min,更优选的交联处理的时间为1~10min。 In order to solve the problems in the above cross-linking process, the present invention uses HHIC (Hyperthermal hydrogen induced cross-linking) technology to achieve cross-linking of quantum dots; the HHIC technology uses H 2 as a starting reactant, and then makes H 2 It is converted into H plasma, and then CH, CH, HO, SH, HN and other chemical bonds are opened with H plasma suitable for energy; these open chemical bonds are then rejoined to crosslink the chemicals together. Preferably, in the preparation of the quantum dot film, the energy of the H plasma is controlled to be 1 to 100 eV, and the energy of the H plasma is more preferably 5 to 70 eV. In this range, a mixed film of a suitable degree of crosslinking can be prepared. The film has good uniformity. Preferably, the time for controlling the crosslinking treatment is from 1 to 30 min, and the more preferred crosslinking treatment time is from 1 to 10 min.
所述HHIC方法耗时短,条件要求低(室温),对反应物没有特殊要求,而且不会产生新的物质;并且所述HHIC交联方法同样适用于有机分子和聚合物。The HHIC method is short in time, low in requirements (room temperature), has no special requirements on the reactants, and does not produce new substances; and the HHIC crosslinking method is equally applicable to organic molecules and polymers.
在量子点的表面含有各种有机配体,本发明通过HHIC方法可以使量子点表面上的配体发生交联,HHIC方法不会改变非交联基团的性质,也不会产生副产物;通过HHIC方法,可以极大的扩张QLED等光电器件的材料选择和工艺过程。The surface of the quantum dot contains various organic ligands. The HHIC method can crosslink the ligands on the surface of the quantum dots by the HHIC method, and the HHIC method does not change the properties of the non-crosslinking groups, and does not produce by-products; Through the HHIC method, the material selection and process of photoelectric devices such as QLEDs can be greatly expanded.
HHIC方法是一种对于量子点、有机分子以及聚合物没有选择性的交联方式(适用于不同溶剂的量子点、有机分子以及聚合物,不同表面配体的量子点等等),HHIC方法将扩大QLED器件制备的选材范围,减小对工艺的要求;HHIC方法相比于其他方法不会影响量子点的性质(发光,导电等等),经过HHIC方法交联的量子点发光层在稳定性上优于传统加热交联的量子点发光层,并且其发光效率将得到提高。The HHIC method is a non-selective cross-linking method for quantum dots, organic molecules, and polymers (quantum dots, organic molecules and polymers for different solvents, quantum dots of different surface ligands, etc.), and the HHIC method will Expand the selection range of QLED device preparation and reduce the requirements of the process; HHIC method does not affect the properties of quantum dots (luminescence, conduction, etc.) compared with other methods, and the quantum dot luminescent layer crosslinked by HHIC method is stable. It is superior to the conventionally heated crosslinked quantum dot light-emitting layer, and its luminous efficiency will be improved.

将实施例4HHIC方法和对照例5传统化学交联方法制备的QD与PVC交联的混合薄膜分别做发光光谱测试,测试结果见图6,HHIC方法制备的QD与PVC交联的混合薄膜的发光强度远大于化学交联方法制备的QD与PVC交联的混合薄膜发光强度。这是由于传统的化学交联方法需要添加三唑二巯基胺盐(FSH)交联剂,交联机理为胺与巯基结合进攻碳氯极性键实行取代反应。这个反应中的氨基影响量子点的发光特性,未反应的三唑二巯基胺盐是淬灭量子点发光的主要原因。综上所述,本发明提供的一种量子点与载体交联的混合薄膜及制备方法与QLED器件。本发明利用HHIC技术对包含量子点与载体的混合薄膜进行交联处理,使得混合薄膜中独立的量子点与载体交联在一起,得到量子点与载体交联的混合薄膜。量子点与载体的混合薄膜中,一般载体难以和量子点交联,即只是载体之间交联,因为载体有交联基团。本发明利用HHIC技术可以交联量子点和载体,具体是通过HHIC技术使量子点表面的有机配体和其他有机/无机基团交联。此外,本发明利用HHIC技术,不需要交联剂或交联官能团,可以大大减少量子 点淬灭,从而提高量子点的发光效率。且由于HHIC交联过程中产生大量的自由基,自由基可以迁移到杂质上,钝化杂质对量子点的淬灭,从而进一步提高量子点的发光效率。经过HHIC方法交联的薄膜在稳定性上优于传统加热交联的薄膜,并且其电学性质没有变化。HHIC能够扩大溶液法的应用和选材范围。The mixed film of QD and PVC cross-linked by the conventional chemical crosslinking method of Example 4HHIC method and Comparative Example 5 was respectively subjected to luminescence spectroscopy test. The test results are shown in Fig. 6. The luminescence of the mixed film of QD and PVC crosslinked by HHIC method was carried out. The strength is much greater than the mixed film luminescence intensity of QD and PVC crosslinked by the chemical crosslinking method. This is because the traditional chemical crosslinking method requires the addition of a triazole dimercaptoamine salt (FSH) cross-linking agent, and the crosslinking mechanism is a combination of an amine and a sulfhydryl group to attack the carbon-chloride polar bond. The amino group in this reaction affects the luminescent properties of the quantum dots, and the unreacted triazole dimercaptoamine salt is the main cause of quenching quantum dot luminescence. In summary, the present invention provides a hybrid film and a method for preparing a quantum dot and a carrier crosslinked with a QLED device. The invention utilizes the HHIC technology to cross-link the mixed film containing the quantum dots and the carrier, so that the independent quantum dots in the mixed film are cross-linked with the carrier to obtain a mixed film in which the quantum dots and the carrier are crosslinked. In a mixed film of quantum dots and a carrier, it is generally difficult for the carrier to crosslink with the quantum dots, that is, only the carriers are crosslinked because the carrier has a crosslinking group. The invention utilizes HHIC technology to crosslink quantum dots and carriers, in particular to crosslink organic ligands on the surface of quantum dots with other organic/inorganic groups by HHIC technology. In addition, the present invention utilizes the HHIC technology, does not require a crosslinking agent or a crosslinking functional group, and can greatly reduce quenching of quantum dots, thereby improving the luminous efficiency of quantum dots. Moreover, due to the large amount of free radicals generated during the HHIC cross-linking process, the free radicals can migrate to the impurities, and the quenching impurities quench the quantum dots, thereby further improving the luminous efficiency of the quantum dots. The film crosslinked by the HHIC method is superior in stability to the conventional heat-crosslinked film, and its electrical properties are not changed. HHIC can expand the application of the solution method and the range of materials selected.
