Detailed Description
The present invention is further described below with reference to specific embodiments, and it should be noted that, without conflict, any combination between the embodiments or technical features described below may form a new embodiment.
In some documents or documents, the first electron transport layer adjacent to the cathode is referred to as an electron injection layer, and is not distinguished in the present application and is referred to as an electron transport layer.
The invention provides a preparation method of a zinc oxide nanocrystalline electron transport layer, which comprises the steps of standing for a period of time in an environment with the humidity more than 0% after a zinc oxide nanocrystalline solution is coated, so as to prepare the electron transport layer.
In the prior art, when a zinc oxide nanocrystal electron transport layer is prepared, a zinc oxide nanocrystal solution is generally coated and then is subjected to annealing treatment at a higher temperature. In the invention, after the zinc oxide nanocrystalline solution is coated, an annealing step is not needed, but the zinc oxide nanocrystalline coating is kept still for a period of time in an environment with certain humidity, and the zinc oxide nanocrystalline film is slowly crystallized under the action of water vapor, so that the conductivity of the film layer is favorably improved, the electron injection is strengthened, and the starting voltage of related electronic devices is favorably reduced; the zinc oxide nanocrystalline film is slowly crystallized under the action of water vapor, and is favorable for enhancing the interface bonding force between the electron transmission layer and the adjacent functional layer, thereby being favorable for prolonging the service life of related electronic devices. It should be noted that the environment with a certain humidity may be provided in air, and may be provided in an inert gas atmosphere, but is not limited thereto.
The preparation of zinc oxide nanocrystal solutions is well known in the art and will not be described in detail herein.
The coating of the zinc oxide nanocrystal solution can be performed in a variety of ways. In some embodiments, the method of zinc oxide nanocrystal solution coating is selected from one of the following methods: spin coating, ink jet printing, spray coating, screen printing, blade coating, drop coating, brush coating, transfer coating, dip coating, roll coating.
In some embodiments, the surface of the zinc oxide nanocrystals is modified with a ligand selected from one or more of carboxylates, thiols, halide ions, alcohol amines, and silanes.
In some embodiments, the ligand modified on the surface of the zinc oxide nanocrystal is a thiol ligand and/or a silane ligand, and after the zinc oxide nanocrystal is coated, the zinc oxide nanocrystal is kept still for not less than 10min in an environment with the humidity of more than 0% and the humidity of not more than 100%. When the ligand modified on the surface of the zinc oxide nanocrystal is a mercaptan ligand and/or a silane ligand, the water resistance is good, the stability is high, and therefore high humidity is needed to enable water vapor to act on the zinc oxide nanocrystal film. It should be noted that the zinc oxide nanocrystals may be doped with other metal elements, or may be undoped zinc oxide nanocrystals.
In addition, considering the manufacturing efficiency and the influence of water vapor on other functional layers of the electronic device, the standing time of the zinc oxide nanocrystalline solution with the surface modified thiol ligand and/or silane ligand in the environment with the humidity of 0-100% is not more than 72 hours after the coating is finished.
In some embodiments, the zinc oxide nanocrystals are doped metal element zinc oxide nanocrystals, preferably, the doped metal element is selected from one or more of Mg, al, in, ga, and Li.
In some embodiments, after the Mg-doped zinc oxide nanocrystalline solution is coated, it is left standing for not less than 10min in an environment with a humidity of more than 0% and not more than 90%. After the zinc oxide nanocrystals are doped with Mg, the zinc oxide nanocrystals are more sensitive to water vapor, can produce better effect even under the condition of lower humidity, and can be damaged by overhigh humidity. And the surface of the Mg-doped zinc oxide nanocrystal is modified with a carboxylate ligand.
Considering the manufacturing efficiency and the influence of water vapor on other functional layers, the time for standing the Mg-doped zinc oxide nanocrystalline solution in the environment with the humidity of more than 0% and not more than 90% is not more than 24 hours after the coating is finished.
In some embodiments, the zinc oxide nanocrystalline solution doped with one or more of Al, in, ga, and Li is left standing for not less than 10min In an environment having a humidity of not less than 20% and not more than 90% after coating is completed. And the surface of the zinc oxide nanocrystal doped with one or more of Al, in, ga and Li is modified with a carboxylate ligand.
Considering the manufacturing efficiency and the influence of water vapor on other functional layers, the time for standing In an environment with the humidity of not less than 20% and not more than 90% is not more than 48h after the coating of the zinc oxide nanocrystalline solution doped with one or more of Al, in, ga and Li is completed.
The zinc oxide nanocrystalline electron transport layer prepared by the above method can be applied to electronic devices such as QLED positive devices, QLED inversion devices, dye-sensitized solar cells, perovskite solar cells, and the like, and is not limited to the above-listed electronic devices. The working principle of the electron transport layer in different electronic devices is the prior art, and the invention is not described in detail.
