This remarkable quantum confinement effect makes quantum dots have many unique nano properties: the emission wavelength is continuously adjustable, and the emission wavelength is narrow. Wide absorption spectrum, high luminous intensity, long fluorescence lifetime and good biocompatibility. These characteristics make quantum dots have broad application prospects in the fields of biomarkers, flat panel displays, solid state lighting, and photovoltaic solar energy.

  • the excitons are transferred to the guest material by means of energy transfer, in which the excitons are combined to emit photons of corresponding wavelengths.
  • the guest organic molecule itself does not have the function of energy level binding, if a film is formed separately to form a light-emitting layer containing only the guest material, a very strong non-radiative energy transfer and concentration quenching will occur, so the subject-guest

Description

一种薄膜及其制备方法与QLED器件 技术领域
本发明涉及量子点技术领域,尤其涉及一种薄膜及其制备方法与QLED器件。
背景技术
量子点是一种在三个维度尺寸上均被限制在纳米数量级的特殊材料,这种显著的量子限域效应使得量子点具有了诸多独特的纳米性质:发射波长连续可调、发光波长窄、吸收光谱宽、发光强度高、荧光寿命长以及生物相容性好等。这些特点使得量子点在生物标记、平板显示、固态照明、光伏太阳能等领域均具有广泛的应用前景。
在典型的电致发光显示应用中,量子点通常是单独成膜从而形成一层仅包含量子点材料的发光层,这与有机发光二极管器件(OLED)中,发光材料(称为客体材料)通常是以一定比例的掺杂浓度混合在主体材料中然后成膜的情况是不相同的。在主体-客体混合材料发光层的情形中,空穴和电子首先通过各自传输层材料注入到主体材料的导带和价带能级上并形成激子,此时激子并不倾向于发生复合,而是通过能量传递的方式将激子转移到客体材料中,在客体材料中激子发生复合发射出相应波长的光子。由于在OLED中,客体有机分子本身并不具有能级束缚的功能,因此如果单独成膜形成仅含客体材料的发光层,会发生非常强烈的无辐射能量转移和浓度淬灭,因此主体-客体的混合体系对于OLED来说是一种更有效的获得高发光效率的方式。
但对于量子点发光二极管(QLED)来说,由于量子点自身具有核壳结构,因此一般来说,高质量的量子点自身就会具有非常良好的能级束缚及相应的激子束缚能力,所以直接采用纯的量子点材料作为发光层就能够实现很好的器件发光效率,同时器件结构更简单、激子损失途径减少。
但是有一些量子点由于核壳结构设计的局限性,导致在这类量子点中对于自身的能级和激子束缚能力很有限,这类量子点虽然能够在溶液状态下(即量子点粒子之间距离比较大)展现出较高的发光量子产率,但在固态薄膜中(即量子点粒子之间紧密堆积)会由于强烈的无辐射能量转移和浓度淬灭导致发光效率显著 降低。因此基于这类量子点的QLED器件效率就会很低。
因此对于这类自身能级和激子束缚能力有限的量子点,其相应QLED器件的设计和制备方案有待改进。
发明内容
一种薄膜,其中,所述薄膜包括高分子材料和分散在所述高分子材料中的量子点,其中所述高分子材料包括至少一种阻隔高分子材料,所述阻隔高分子材料的重均分子量高于10万。
一种薄膜的制备方法,其中,包括步骤:
将量子点和高分子材料混合在分散介质中;
将混合后的溶液制成薄膜,得到所述薄膜;
其中所述高分子材料包括至少一种阻隔高分子材料,所述阻隔高分子材料的重均分子量高于10万。
一种QLED器件,所述QLED器件包括量子点发光层,其中,所述量子点发光层为本发明所述薄膜。
有益效果:薄膜中含有量子点与高分子材料,利用高分子材料有效隔离量子点并增大量子点之间的相互距离,从而减少量子点之间的相互作用并最大程度抑制量子点之间的无辐射能量转移和浓度淬灭,达到薄膜中量子点发光量子产率的提升。阻隔高分子材料的分子量若过小,无法起到足够的隔离效果,因此要求能够实现有效隔离量子点的阻隔高分子材料的重均分子量在10万以上;阻隔高分子材料的分子量越高,对于量子点相互之间的隔离效果就越好,因而在量子点薄膜中所能容纳的量子点的重量含量就越高。

具体实施方式
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,此处所描述的实施方式和具体实施例仅仅用以解释本发明,并不用于限定本发明。
现有某些量子点自身的核壳结构对于能级和激子束缚能力很有限,其虽然能够在溶液状态下(此时量子点粒子之间距离大)展现出较高的发光量子产率,但在固态薄膜中(此时量子点粒子之间紧密堆积)会由于强烈的无辐射能量转移和浓度淬灭导致发光效率显著降低。这是因为当量子点的核壳结构在能级上不能很好对电子云或者激子进行束缚时,电子云或者激子就会更容易扩散到量子点表面,此时如果量子点之间的距离很近相互作用很强(例如固态薄膜中的情形),那么量子点中扩散到表面的电子云或者激子就会发生强烈的相互作用,从而发生强烈的无辐射能量转移和浓度淬灭,使得在固态薄膜中的量子点发光量子产率显著降低。因而使得使用这种固态薄膜的QLED器件效率也会显著降低。
所以对于这种自身核壳结构不能提供足够的对于能级和激子束缚的量子点来说,现有技术中使用纯量子点材料作为QLED器件中量子点发光层薄膜的方案不能获得很好的效果。
对于这种自身核壳结构不能提供足够的对于能级和激子束缚的量子点,为了能够增大量子点之间距离从而减少量子点之间的相互作用,以便最大程度抑制量子点之间的无辐射能量转移和浓度淬灭,需要将量子点与高分子材料混合制备薄膜,利用高分子材料有效隔离量子点并增大量子点之间的相互距离,从而减少量子点之间的相互作用并最大程度抑制量子点之间的无辐射能量转移和浓度淬灭,达到量子点薄膜发光量子产率的提升。利用这种具有高发光量子产率的量子点薄膜到QLED器件中,就能实现高效率的QLED器件。因此,本发明主要改进见下文:
本发明的实施方式提供一种薄膜,其中,所述薄膜包括高分子材料和分散在所述高分子材料中的量子点,其中所述高分子材料包括至少一种阻隔高分子材 料,所述阻隔高分子材料的重均分子量高于10万。
本发明的实施方式薄膜中含有量子点与高分子材料,利用高分子材料有效隔离量子点并增大量子点之间的相互距离,从而减少量子点之间的相互作用并最大程度抑制量子点之间的无辐射能量转移和浓度淬灭,达到薄膜中量子点发光量子产率的提升。阻隔高分子材料的分子量若过小,无法起到足够的隔离效果,因此要求能够实现有效隔离量子点的阻隔高分子材料的重均分子量在10万以上;阻隔高分子材料的分子量越高,对于量子点相互之间的隔离效果就越好,因而在量子点薄膜中所能容纳的量子点的重量含量就越高。利用这种具有高发光量子产率的薄膜到QLED器件中,就能实现高效率的QLED器件。
本发明的实施方式薄膜含有量子点与一种或一种以上阻隔高分子材料,阻隔高分子材料的重均分子量高于10万,这是因为所述阻隔高分子材料的重均分子量若过小,无法起到有效的隔离效果。所述阻隔高分子材料的重均分子量越高,对于量子点相互之间的隔离效果就越好,在薄膜中所能容纳的量子点的重量含量就越高。
在一些实施方式中,所述量子点为油溶性量子点或水溶性量子点。
在一些具体的实施方式中,所述量子点为油溶性量子点,所述油溶性量子点的表面配体为硫醇或羧酸。
在一些具体的实施方式中,所述量子点选自II-VI族量子点、III-V族量子点和IV-VI族量子点中的一种或多种。在一些具体的实施方式中,所述量子点选自II-VI族、III-V族、IV-VI族的单一量子点及II-VI族、III-V族、IV-VI族的核壳型量子点或混合型量子点中的一种或多种。在一些具体的实施方式中,II-VI族单一量子点选自CdSe、CdS、ZnSe、ZnS、CdTe、ZnTe、CdZnS、CdZnSe、CdZnTe、ZnSeS、ZnSeTe、ZnTeS、CdSeS、CdSeTe、CdTeS、CdZnSeS、CdZnSeTe、CdZnSTe、CdSeSTe、ZnSeSTe和CdZnSeSTe等中的一种;III-V族单一量子点选自InP、GaP、GaAs、InAs、InAsP、GaAsP、InGaP、InGaAs和InGaAsP等中的一种;IV-VI族单一量子点选自PbS、PbSe、PbTe、PbSeS、PbSeTe和PbSTe等中的一种;所述核壳型量子点选自CdZnSe/ZnS、CdZnSeS/ZnS、CdTe/ZnS、CdZnSe/ZnS、CdZnSeS/ZnS、CdTe/ZnS、CdTe/CdSe、CdTe/ZnTe、CdSe/CdS和CdSe/ZnS等中的一种;所述混合型量子点选自CdTe/CdS/ZnS等。
在一些具体的实施方式中,所述量子点选自II-VI族量子点。
在一些具体的实施方式中,所述量子点选自含Te的II-VI族量子点。含Te的II-VI族量子点相比于含Se的II-VI族量子点具有更窄的能带隙,因此在制备可见光波段(绿色或红色)的发光量子点时,不能生长较厚的壳层,以避免发光波长过分红移,因此所述的量子点之间的距离会非常接近,在固态膜中的相互作用强的现象会在含Te的II-VI族量子点中更为突出,在固态薄膜中强烈的无辐射能量转移和浓度淬灭会导致含Te的II-VI族量子点发光效率显著降低。因此对于含Te的II-VI族量子点的QLED器件来说,对量子点发光层薄膜中量子点间发光效率淬灭的有效避免变得尤其重要。在一些具体的实施方式中,所述量子点选自含Cd和Te的II-VI族量子点。在一些具体的实施方式中,所述量子点选自CdTe、CdTeS及以CdTe或CdTeS为核的核壳量子点中的一种。由于CdTe、CdTeS等含Cd、Te的量子点相对其他含Te的II-VI族量子点的导带能级更深,对于电子的束缚效果更好,因此同样的避免发光效率淬灭的办法会对CdTe、CdTeS等产生更佳的效果。
在一些实施方式中,所述阻隔高分子材料的载流子迁移率在10 -8cm 2V -1s -1以上。由于含有阻隔高分子材料和量子点的薄膜在QLED器件应用中作为发光层,需考虑到电荷注入到薄膜后在阻隔高分子材料中的电荷传输,所以阻隔高分子材料的载流子迁移率需满足一定的要求(在10 -8cm 2V -1s -1以上)。
在一些具体的实施方式中,所述阻隔高分子材料的重均分子量高于20万。阻隔高分子材料的重均分子量越高,对于量子点相互之间的隔离效果就越好。选择重均分子量高于20万的阻隔高分子材料,可以进一步提高对量子点相互之间的隔离效果,从而进一步提升薄膜中量子点发光量子产率。
在一些具体的实施方式中,所述阻隔高分子材料的重均分子量高于30万。
在一些具体的实施方式中,所述阻隔高分子材料的重均分子量高于50万。
在一些实施方式中,所述阻隔高分子材料选自重均分子量高于50万的PVK(聚(9-乙烯基咔唑))及其衍生物、重均分子量高于50万的TFB及其衍生物、重均分子量高于50万的poly-TPD及其衍生物、重均分子量高于50万的MEH-PPV(聚(2-甲氧基-5-(2'-乙基己氧基)-1,4-对苯乙炔))及其衍生物的一种。其中,所述PVK的结构式见图1,所述TFB的结构式见图2,所述poly-TPD的结构式见图3,所述MEH-PPV的结构式见图4。在一些具体的实施方式中,所述TFB的衍生物可以选自图5-图7中任一种结构分子。选择上述阻隔高分子 材料,可以最大化提高对量子点相互之间的隔离效果,从而最大化提升薄膜中量子点发光量子产率。
在一些实施方式中,所述薄膜由量子点和一种阻隔高分子材料组成,所述量子点占薄膜的质量分数为0.5-90%。换句话说,本实施方式中所述薄膜中仅含一种特定的高分子材料,所述阻隔高分子材料的重均分子量高于10万,所述阻隔高分子材料的重均分子量越高,对于量子点相互之间的隔离效果就越好,在薄膜中所能容纳的量子点的重量含量就越高。
在一些具体的实施方式中,所述阻隔高分子材料的重均分子量在10万-30万之间,所述量子点占薄膜的质量分数为0.5-30%。
在一些具体的实施方式中,所述阻隔高分子材料的重均分子量在30万-50万之间,所述量子点占薄膜的质量分数为0.5-66%。
在一些具体的实施方式中,所述阻隔高分子材料的重均分子量在50万-150万之间,所述量子点占薄膜的质量分数为0.5-90%。
阻隔高分子材料的分子量越高,对于量子点相互之间的隔离效果就越好,因而在量子点薄膜中所能容纳的量子点的重量含量就越高。
在一些具体的实施方式中,所述量子点占薄膜的质量分数为0.5-20%。
在一些具体的实施方式中,所述量子点占薄膜的质量分数为2-10%。

由于电荷传输调节高分子材料的加入主要是改善薄膜应用在QLED器件中的电荷传输,对薄膜本身的发光量子产率影响不大,因此其对于薄膜发光量子产率的提升效果与实施例4类似。
实施例14
本实施例量子点发光二极管,如图9所示,自下而上依次包括:ITO衬底11、底电极12、PEDOT:PSS空穴注入层13、poly-TPD空穴传输层14、量子点发光层15、ZnO电子传输层16及Al顶电极17。
其中,量子点发光层15的制备方法为:配制CdTe/CdZnS量子点(溶液的发光峰为631nm,半峰宽为30nm,发光量子产率为56%)重量浓度为1mg/mL、PVK重量浓度为20mg/mL的甲苯溶液,以3000rpm的转速旋涂成膜60秒,在惰性气氛中110℃下退火15分钟。
实施例15
上述薄膜对于量子点发光二极管器件的效率提升
实施例14中采用含阻隔高分子材料PVK的薄膜作为量子点发光层的QLED器件,其外量子效率结果为3.1%,电致发光峰波长为633nm。
作为对比,采用纯量子点材料作为量子点发光层的QLED器件,其外量子 点效率结果为0.5%,电致发光峰波长为642nm。
可以看到,采用含有PVK的量子点薄膜作为量子点发光层的QLED器件效率相比于没有添加PVK的纯量子点作为发光层的器件要显著提高;同时发光峰波长相对于溶液中波长的红移程度也大大减少,进一步说明PVK对于量子点间的相互作用起到了有效的减弱效果。
实施例16
电荷传输调节高分子对于量子点发光二极管器件的效率提升1
采用实施例14中类似的器件结构和制备,其中,量子点发光层的制备方法为:配制CdTe/CdZnS量子点(溶液的发光峰为631nm,半峰宽为30nm,发光量子产率为56%)重量浓度为1mg/mL、PVK重量浓度为20mg/mL、聚噻吩重量浓度为0.8mg/mL的氯苯溶液,以3000rpm的转速旋涂成膜60秒,在惰性气氛中110℃下退火15分钟。
采用含有PVK和聚噻吩的薄膜作为量子点发光层的QLED器件,其外量子效率结果为5.1%,电致发光峰波长为633nm。
而实施例14中采用只含阻隔高分子材料PVK的薄膜作为量子点发光层的QLED器件,其外量子效率结果为3.1%,电致发光峰波长为633nm。。
可以看到,虽然在含有PVK的量子点薄膜中加入适量的聚噻吩对于量子点膜的量子产率没有影响(实施例10),但聚噻吩较高的电荷迁移率可以用以调节量子点发光层中的电荷传输以及相应的电荷平衡,因而可以进一步提升量子点QLED器件的发光效率。
实施例17
电荷传输调节高分子对于量子点发光二极管器件的效率提升2
采用实施例14中类似的器件结构和制备,其中,量子点发光层的制备方法为:配制CdTe/CdZnS量子点(溶液的发光峰为628nm,半峰宽为32nm,发光量子产率为54%)重量浓度为1mg/mL、TFB重量浓度为30mg/mL、PMMA重量浓度为2.5mg/mL的氯苯溶液,以3000rpm的转速旋涂成膜60秒,在惰性气氛中110℃下退火15分钟。同时,配制不含PMMA的量子点溶液作为对比并采用相同方法成膜。
采用含有TFB和PMMA的薄膜作为量子点发光层的QLED器件,其外量子 效率结果为4.3%,电致发光峰波长为631nm。
而采用只含阻隔高分子材料TFB的薄膜作为量子点发光层的QLED器件,其外量子效率结果为2.7%,电致发光峰波长为634nm。。
可以看到,虽然在含有TFB的量子点薄膜中加入适量的PMMA对于量子点膜的量子产率没有影响(实施例9),但PMMA较低的电荷迁移率可以用以调节量子点发光层中的电荷传输以及相应的电荷平衡,因而可以进一步提升量子点QLED器件的发光效率。
采用阻隔高分子材料对量子点之间的相互作用进行有效抑制后,提升了薄膜的发光效率,因此也提升相应QLED器件的发光效率;同时更小的电致发光峰红移也进一步说明了阻隔高分子材料对于量子点间相互作用的有效抑制。
综上所述,本发明的实施方式提供的一种薄膜及其制备方法与QLED器件,薄膜中含有量子点与高分子材料,利用高分子材料有效隔离量子点并增大量子点之间的相互距离,从而减少量子点之间的相互作用并最大程度抑制量子点之间的无辐射能量转移和浓度淬灭,达到薄膜中量子点发光量子产率的提升。阻隔高分子材料的分子量若过小,无法起到足够的隔离效果,因此要求能够实现有效隔离量子点的阻隔高分子材料的重均分子量在10万以上;阻隔高分子材料的分子量越高,对于量子点相互之间的隔离效果就越好,因而在量子点薄膜中所能容纳的量子点的重量含量就越高。利用这种具有高发光量子产率的薄膜到QLED器件中,能够实现高效率的QLED器件。
应当理解的是,本发明的应用不限于上述的举例,对本领域普通技术人员来说,可以根据上述说明加以改进或变换,所有这些改进和变换都应属于本发明所附权利要求的保护范围。
