Here, we report a new strategy to carry out the efficient phase-transfer ligand exchange in large-sized QDs. Specifically, using lead acetate trihydrate (PbAc2·3H2O) as a precursor and methylammonium acetate (MAAc) as an additive in the ligand solution, we can facilitate the efficient phase-transfer ligand exchange and epitaxial growth of perovskite intermediate (MAPbI3–xAcx) on the (100) facets, resulting in a significant improvement in film quality suitable for device fabrication. The resulting photodiodes show a 2.5× enhancement in external quantum efficiency (EQE) compared to devices using QD inks obtained using the conventional method.

However, the major challenge for tandem OLEDs is the low light extraction efficiency, because about 50% of the light is trapped inside the device as waveguide modes.

Based on the results of our rigorous couple-wave analysis (RCWA) simulation, we found that the cavity effects can be partially recovered using a low index Teflon layer inserted between the ITO anode and the substrate due to the enhancement of the reflectance of the corrugated electrodes. To verify the simulation results, we fabricated corrugated OLEDs having a low-index Teflon interlayer with an EQE of 36%, which is 29% higher than an optimized planar OLED.

In this work, the role of ion migration is investigated by measuring the transient electroluminescence and current responses, with both the current and efficiency showing a slow response in a time scale of tens of milliseconds. The results of the charge injection dynamics show that the slow response of the current is attributed to the migration and accumulation of halide ions at the anode interface, facilitating hole injection and leading to a strong charge imbalance. Further, the results of the charge recombination dynamics show that the slow response of the efficiency is attributed to enhanced charge injection facilitated by ion migration, which leads to an increased carrier density favoring bimolecular radiative recombination.

Adding F atom stabilizes the HOMO level of FIrpic but keeps the LUMO level of FIrpic almost unchanged, which consequently broadens the HOMO-LUMO gap of FIrpic and finely tunes the emission to 465 nm of 4-F-FIrpic from 470 nm of FIrpic. In contrast, introducing of Cl and Br atoms simultaneously lowers the HOMO and LUMO levels of FIrpic, which brings about the squeeze of HOMO-LUMO gap in FIrpic and makes the emissions of 4-Cl-FIrpic and 4-Br-FIrpic red-shift to 475 and 479 nm, respectively.

The demonstrated double emissive layer structure effectively suppresses the direct recombination of electron–hole pairs on the hole-trapping orange phosphor and thus reduces the deteriorated effect of charge trapping on electroluminescence spectrum stability by controlling exciton recombination zone. It is shown that the white light emission is a cascade energy transfer process from host to blue phosphor and then to orange phosphor, which seems to be less affected by the driving conditions. Thus, the change in Commission Internationale de L’Eclairage coordinates (CIE) in the white OLEDs is less than (±0.010, ±0.007) as the voltage increases from 4 V to 9 V, which correspond to the luminance increasing from 200 cd m−2 to about 20,000 cd m−2. This is superior to that of co-doped single emissive layer devices, which show much larger CIEs variation of (±0.05, ±0.02) in the same driving voltage range.

In this article, an efficient sandwich-type EML structure with a mixed-host EML sandwiched between two single-host EMLs was designed to eliminate this accumulation, thus simultaneously achieving high efficiency, low efficiency roll-off and good operational stability in the resulting OLEDs. The devices show excellent electroluminescence performances, realizing a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 24.6% with a maximum power efficiency of 105.6 lm W(-1) and a maximum current efficiency of 93.5 cd A(-1). At the high brightness of 5,000 cd m(-2), they still remain as high as 23.3%, 71.1 lm W(-1), and 88.3 cd A(-1), respectively. And, the device lifetime is up to 2000 h at initial luminance of 1000 cd m(-2), which is significantly higher than that of compared devices with conventional EML structures. The improvement mechanism is systematically studied by the dependence of the exciton distribution in EML and the exciton quenching processes. It can be seen that the utilization of the efficient sandwich-type EML broadens the recombination zone width, thus greatly reducing the exciton quenching and increasing the probability of the exciton recombination.

In this approach, two functional groups were attached to tetrahedral points of adamantane to construct an "sp(3)" topological configuration. This design strategy endows the host material with a high triplet energy of 3.03 eV due to the disruption of intramolecular charge transfer. Although CzCN-Ad has a low molecular weight, the rigid nonconjugated adamantane bridge results in a glass transition temperature of 89 °C. These features make CzCN-Ad suitable for fabricating blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PhOLEDs).

This established the basis of rational investigation on T1 location effect without interference from other optoelectronic factors.}, number={49}, journal={CHEMISTRY-A EUROPEAN JOURNAL}, author={Han, Chunmiao and Zhu, Liping and Li, Jing and Zhao, Fangchao and Xu, Hui and Ma, Dongge and Yan, Pengfei}, pages={{16350–16359}} } @article{sun_chen_zhu_guo_yang_chen_ma, title={Realization of Optimal Interconnector for Tandem Organic Light-Emitting Diodes with Record Efficiency}, volume={1}, DOI={{10.1002/aelm.201500176}}, number={11}, journal={ADVANCED ELECTRONIC MATERIALS}, author={Sun, Hengda and Chen, Yonghua and Zhu, Liping and Guo, Qingxun and Yang, Dezhi and Chen, Jiangshan and Ma, Dongge} } @article{li_li_liu_zhu_zhang_fang, title={Realizing High Performance Inverted Organic Solar Cells via a Nonconjugated Electrolyte Cathode Interlayer}, volume={120}, DOI={{10.1021/acs.jpcc.6b10558}}, number={46}, journal={JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C}, author={Li, Yaru and Li, Xiaodong and Liu, Xiaohui and Zhu, Liping and Zhang, Wenjun and Fang, Junfeng}, pages={{26244–26248}} } @article{zhu_wu_chen_ma, title={Reduced efficiency roll-off in all-phosphorescent white organic light-emitting diodes with an external quantum efficiency of over 20%}, volume={3}, DOI={{10.1039/c5tc00205b}}, number={14}, journal={JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY C}, author={Zhu, Liping and Wu, Zhongbin and Chen, Jiangshan and Ma, Dongge}, pages={{3304–3310}} } @article{han_zhu_zhao_zhang_wang_deng_xu_li_ma_yan, title={Suppressing triplet state extension for highly efficient ambipolar phosphine oxide host materials in blue PHOLEDs}, volume={50}, DOI={{10.1039/c3cc49020c}}, abstractNote={A series of phosphine oxide hosts were constructed to investigate the influence of the triplet state extension in hosts on electrophosphorescence, in which DPESPOPhCz with the carbazolyl-localized triplet state endowed its blue-emitting PHOLEDs with favourable performance, including an external quantum efficiency more than 13%.}, number={20}, journal={CHEMICAL COMMUNICATIONS}, author={Han, Chunmiao and Zhu, Liping and Zhao, Fangchao and Zhang, Zhen and Wang, Jianzhe and Deng, Zhaopeng and Xu, Hui and Li, Jing and Ma, Dongge and Yan, Pengfei}, pages={{2670–2672}} } @article{sun_zhu_kan_wei_ma_fan_huang_xu, title={Ternary donor-acceptor phosphine oxide hosts with peculiar high energy gap for efficient blue electroluminescence}, volume={3}, DOI={{10.1039/c5tc02029h}}, number={36}, journal={JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY C}, author={Sun, Mingzhi and Zhu, Liping and Kan, Wenjing and Wei, Ying and Ma, Dongge and Fan, Xuefeng and Huang, Wei and Xu, Hui}, pages={{9469–9478}} } @article{sun_zhu_kan_wei_ma_fan_huang_xu, title={Ternary donor-acceptor phosphine oxide hosts with peculiar high energy gap for efficient blue electroluminescence (vol 3, pg 9469, 2015)}, volume={3}, DOI={{10.1039/c5tc90156a}}, number={36}, journal={JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY C}, author={Sun, Mingzhi and Zhu, Liping and Kan, Wenjing and Wei, Ying and Ma, Dongge and Fan, Xuefeng and Huang, Wei and Xu, Hui}, pages={{9479}} } @article{jia_zhu_wei_wu_xu_ding_chen_ma_huang, title={Triazine-phosphine oxide electron transporter for ultralow-voltage-driven sky blue PHOLEDs}, volume={3}, DOI={{10.1039/c4tc02993c}}, number={19}, journal={JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY C}, author={Jia, Jilin and Zhu, Liping and Wei, Ying and Wu, Zhongbin and Xu, Hui and Ding, Dongxue and Chen, Runfeng and Ma, Dongge and Huang, Wei}, pages={{4890–4902}} } @article{fan_zhu_liu_jiang_ma_qin_yang, title={Using an Organic Molecule with Low Triplet Energy as a Host in a Highly Efficient Blue Electrophosphorescent Device}, volume={53}, DOI={{10.1002/anie.201308046}}, abstractNote={To achieve high efficiencies in blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PhOLEDs), the triplet energies (T1) of host materials are generally supposed to be higher than the blue phosphors.
