The particle size of the zinc oxide solution and the device performance test data are shown in table 1.
TABLE 1 particle size of Zinc oxide solution and QLED device Performance test data
From example 1, it can be seen that the cyclooctane carbon number is less than or equal to eight carbons and is even, so that zinc oxide nanocrystals can be preserved for a long time, the original particle size is still maintained, the stability is higher, and the zinc oxide crystals can still be dissolved back into the solution after being completely dried, and finally the consistency of zinc oxide can be controlled when the zinc oxide crystals are matched with the state of depositing on an optoelectronic device, the film forming quality of zinc oxide is improved, and the performance of the device is improved.
As can be seen from example 1 and comparative example 1, if the alkane carbon chain is uneven, the surface hydrophilicity is changed, and ZnO surface coordination cannot be successfully achieved, so that the dispersion is impossible.
As can be seen from comparative example 2, an excessive number of carbon atoms causes the particle size of the sample itself to become large, and although the stability and consistency can be maintained, the requirement of the present case for small zinc oxide particle nanocrystals cannot be satisfied.
As can be seen from comparative example 3, if the reaction temperature is not increased, the generated zinc oxide clusters do not grow in an accelerated manner, and a large amount of unreacted and occupied alkali still exists in a 'nucleus', so that unreacted alkali impurities in the product are too high, and the device performance is affected.
As can be seen from comparative example 4, if ice bath cooling is not performed, the core-shell structure is formed to stabilize the storage, but the particle size is not controlled from the initial stage, and the particle size is too large, resulting in degradation of the device performance.
However, as can be seen from comparative examples 5 and 6, the conventional solution-colloid synthesis method can result in too few hydroxyl groups on the surface, and the operation of re-preservation after drying cannot be performed, but if the particles are directly preserved in a solution dispersing agent, the particles are continuously agglomerated, and finally the film forming quality of zinc oxide is affected, so that the electric performance is attenuated.
