Abstract
This paper proposes a new paradigm in polymer light-emitting diode (PLED) fabrication by using a uniform electrosprayed microparticle film as the active layer. Among the seven electrospraying parameters analyzed, three crucial parameters are statistically identified and optimized to obtain thin electrosprayed microparticle layers. Using optimized electrospraying conditions, single-color red-emitting PLED (MEH-PPV) with a peak current density of 16.1 mA/mm2 under a 13.5 V bias and a peak external quantum efficiency of 3.2% are successfully fabricated. Finally, a combinatorial approach is implemented using both MEH-PPV (red-emitting) and F8BT (green-emitting) polymer microparticles at different mixing ratios to tune the emission spectrum of the devices. As such, it has been demonstrated that hybrid multilayer films using different organic materials with nonorthogonal solvents can be produced using this new approach. The parameter analysis and color-tunable properties pave the way towards white light PLED fabrication.

Controlling the excited-state dynamics of low band gap, near-infrared absorbers via proquinoidal unit electronic structural modulation. Chem Sci 2017; 8:5889-5901. [PMID: 28989620 PMCID: PMC5619129 DOI: 10.1039/c7sc02150j] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2017] [Accepted: 06/06/2017] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Modulating the extent of configuration interaction steers the excited-state relaxation pathways and dynamics of high oscillator strength NIR absorbers that exploit proquinoidal conjugation.
While the influence of proquinoidal character upon the linear absorption spectrum of low optical bandgap π-conjugated polymers and molecules is well understood, its impact upon excited-state relaxation pathways and dynamics remains obscure. We report the syntheses, electronic structural properties, and excited-state dynamics of a series of model highly conjugated near-infrared (NIR)-absorbing chromophores based on a (porphinato)metal(ii)-proquinoidal spacer-(porphinato)metal(ii) (PM-Sp-PM) structural motif. A combination of excited-state dynamical studies and time-dependent density functional theory calculations: (i) points to the cardinal role that excited-state configuration interaction (CI) plays in determining the magnitudes of S1 → S0 radiative (kr), S1 → T1 intersystem crossing (kISC), and S1 → S0 internal conversion (kIC) rate constants in these PM-Sp-PM chromophores, and (ii) suggests that a primary determinant of CI magnitude derives from the energetic alignment of the PM and Sp fragment LUMOs (ΔEL). These insights not only enable steering of excited-state relaxation dynamics of high oscillator strength NIR absorbers to realize either substantial fluorescence or long-lived triplets (τT1 > μs) generated at unit quantum yield (ΦISC = 100%), but also crafting of those having counter-intuitive properties: for example, while (porphinato)platinum compounds are well known to generate non-emissive triplet states (ΦISC = 100%) upon optical excitation at ambient temperature, diminishing the extent of excited-state CI in these systems realizes long-wavelength absorbing heavy-metal fluorophores. This work highlights approaches to: (i) modulate low-lying singlet excited-state lifetime over the picosecond-to-nanosecond time domain, (ii) achieve NIR fluorescence with quantum yields up to 25%, (iii) tune the magnitude of S1–T1 ISC rate constant from 109 to 1012 s–1 and (iv) realize T1-state lifetimes that range from ∼0.1 to several μs, for these model PM-Sp-PM chromophores, and renders new insights to evolve bespoke photophysical properties for low optical bandgap π-conjugated polymers and molecules based on proquinoidal conjugation motifs.

Abstract
Dye-sensitized solar cells have gained widespread attention in recent years because of their low production costs, ease of fabrication and tunable optical properties, such as colour and transparency. Here, we report a molecularly engineered porphyrin dye, coded SM315, which features the prototypical structure of a donor-π-bridge-acceptor and both maximizes electrolyte compatibility and improves light-harvesting properties. Linear-response, time-dependent density functional theory was used to investigate the perturbations in the electronic structure that lead to improved light harvesting. Using SM315 with the cobalt(II/III) redox shuttle resulted in dye-sensitized solar cells that exhibit a high open-circuit voltage VOC of 0.91 V, short-circuit current density JSC of 18.1 mA cm(-2), fill factor of 0.78 and a power conversion efficiency of 13%.
