Organometallic compound derivates as a novel efficient electron injection layer for hybrid light-emitting diodes

Abstract

In this study we have presented the use of a organometallic compounds derivates (Keggin type polyoxometalates) for the production of powerful electron injection layer between the emissive polymer layer (PFO) and cathode layer (Al) . Electron transport studies in organometallic compounds layers showed efficient electron transport in very thin structures. High efficiency solution-processed organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) are achieved by organometallic compounds such as Keggin type polyoxometalates used as electron injection or transport layers with superb electron mobilities and hole blocking capacities. These results indicate the potential for organometallic compounds derivates as a variable, emerging new class of efficient electron injection/transport molecular materials for high performance air-stable HyLEDs. The Keggin type polyoxometalates show unique features such as superior ionization energy and low electron affinity which conversion them as efficient electron injection/hole blocking layers and, immensely high electron mobility
