The study of electrochemi-luminescence device fabrication

전기화학형 발광소자의 제작에 관한 연구

In this study, used simplest sandwich cells containing $Ru2^+$ liquid electrolytes in order to clarify the role of nanoporous $TiO_2$ electrodes. And, the cell structure is as follow: F:$SnO_2$ glass/nanoporous $TiO_2$/ tris(2,2'-bipyridy)ruthenium(II) colplex [$Ru(bpy)_3(PF_6)_2$] in acetonitrile/ F:$SnO_2$ glass. The result, we found that ECL intensities increased rapidly by use of cathodes with nanoporous $TiO_2$ layers. And, porous $TiO_2$ electrodes were confirmed to be efficient for ECL devices as well as solar cell devices. It is thought that the increases in the ECL intensities may be associated with both formation of $Ru^+$ in porous $TiO_2$ electrodes and the process taking place after reduction of $Ru^+$ which occurs in the nanoporous electrodes.
