A new carbazole-based host material for red emitters, BBTC, was designed, synthesized and characterized with the phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PHOLEDs). With the molecular design strategy of maintaining the large triplet energy and a good hole transporting ability of carbazole while increasing the morphological and electrochemical stability, the C3 and C6 positions of carbazole are blocked with biphenyl groups and the C9 position is terminated with a terphenyl group. Red PHOLEDs employing a conventional dopant material, bis(1-phenylisoquinoline)(acetylacetonate)iridium(III) ((piq)2Ir(acac)), in the emissive layer showed nearly 100% internal quantum efficiency (corresponding to the external quantum efficiency of 19.3%) with reduced efficiency roll-off. We attribute these results to the good electron–hole balance resulting from the good hole mobility of BBTC and low hole injection barrier from the hole transport layer to BBTC host in the emission layer. In addition, owing to its good hole transporting property, it can be utilized as a hole transport layer in organic light-emitting devices enabling low voltage operation of the devices.
设计、合成了一种用于红色发射体的新型咔唑基主体材料 BBTC,并用磷光有机发光二极管 (PHOLED) 进行了表征。分子设计策略是保持咔唑大的三重态能量和良好的空穴传输能力,同时提高形态和电化学稳定性,咔唑的C3和C6位被联苯基封闭,C9位被三联苯基封端。红色 PHOLED 在发射层中采用传统掺杂材料双(1-苯基异喹啉)(乙酰丙酮)铱(III) ((piq)2Ir(acac)),显示出接近 100% 的内量子效率(对应于19.3%),效率滚降降低。我们将这些结果归因于 BBTC 良好的空穴迁移率以及从空穴传输层到发射层中的 BBTC 主体的低空穴注入势垒所带来的良好电子空穴平衡。此外,由于其良好的空穴传输性能,其可以用作有机发光器件中的空穴传输层,从而实现器件的低电压操作。
