The multilayer structure of the organic light emitting diode has merits of improving interfacial characteristics and helping carriers inject into emission layer and transport easier. There are many reports to control hole injection from anode electrode by using transition metal oxide as an anode buffer layer, such as V2O5, MoO3, NiO, and Fe3O4. In this study, we apply thin films of LiF which is usually inserted as a thin buffer layer between electron transport layer(ETL) and cathode, as an anode buffer layer to reduce the hole injection barrier height from ITO. The thickness of LiF as an anode buffer layer is tested from 0 nm to 1.0 nm. As shown in the figure 1 and 2, the luminous efficiency versus current density is improved by LiF anode buffer layer, and the threshold voltage is reduced when LiF buffer layer is increased up to 0.6 nm then the device does not work when LiF thickness is close to 1.0 nm As a result, we can confirm that the thin layer of LiF, about 0.6 nm, as an anode buffer reduces the hole injection barrier height from ITO, and this results the improved luminous efficiency. This study shows that LiF can be used as an anode buffer layer for improved hole injection as well as cathode buffer layer.

We have investigated organic light-emitting devices by doping phosphorescent orange and fluorescent blue emitters into the separate layers of single host. The electroluminescence spectra and current efficiency were strongly dependent on the location of each doped layers. The luminance-voltage (L-V) characteristics of the device2 (ITO/Hole Transport Layer/Orange Phosphorescent emissive layer/Blue Fluorescent emissive layer/Electron Transport Layer/liF/Al) showed the maximum current efficiency of 19.5 cd/A.

Highly quantum efficient and multi-color emissible polymer light emitting devices have been realized utilizing poly (1-dodecyloxy-4-methyl-1, 3-phenylene)(2, 5"-terthienylene)(hereafter, mPTTh polymer) as an emitting layer and tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3) as an electron transport layer. A single layer EL device of mPTTh polymer emits orange-colored light. EL efficiency increases as the thickness of Alq3 layer increases, but the emission color becomes visually broad when the Alq3 layer thickness is greater than 30nm since the relative peak intensity of green EL from Alq3 layer grows. EL color is changed from orange to greenish orange as the thickness of Alq3 layer grows. EL color is changed from orange to greenish orange as the thickness of Alq3 layer increases. EL efficiency of the double layer device was greatly enhanced by 3000 times compared with that of a single layer device. Alq3 layer in device acts as a hole blocking electron transporting layer and an emitting layer as a function of the thickness of Alq3 layer.ayer.

This study compares the characteristics of a compact TiO₂ (c-TiO₂) powdery film, which is used as the electron transport layer (ETL) of perovskite solar cells, based on the manufacturing method. Additionally, its efficiency is measured by applying it to a carbon electrode solar cell. Spin-coating and spray methods are compared, and spray-based c-TiO₂ exhibits superior optical properties. Furthermore, surface analysis by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) exhibits the excellent surface properties of spray-based TiO₂. The photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) is 14.31% when applied to planar perovskite solar cells based on metal electrodes. Finally, carbon nanotube (CNT) film electrode-based solar cells exhibits a 76% PCE compared with that of metal electrode-based solar cells, providing the possibility of commercialization.

고효율 저전력 고휘도를 장점으로 가지고 있는 OLED의 개선을 위하여 수많은 재료와 기술이 연구되어 왔다. 전기적 손실의 방지를 위하여 다양한 재료가 연구되고 있지만 그 중에서도 가장 각광받는 것은 그래핀이다. 그래핀(graphene)은 탄소원자가 육각형 벌집 모양 배열의 격자구조를 가지는 원자 단층 두께의 물질이다. 그래핀은 에너지와 역격자의 k 벡터가 선형적으로 비례하며 전도띠(conduction band)와 가전자띠(valence band)가 한 점에서 만나는 구조를 가지는 특징으로 인해 매우 빠른 전하 이동도(Mobility)를 가지고 있다. 이와 같은 그래핀의 특성을 이용하여 전극 층으로 이용함으로써 소자 특성의 개선이 가능할 것으로 예상되었다. $1{\times}1$ inch Glass에 ITO 대신에 그래핀을 증착한 후 Spin coater를 사용하여 PEDOT을 각각 1,000 rpm, 2,000 rpm으로 도포 하였다. 그 후 HTL (Hole transport latey), ETL (Electron-transport layer), EML (Emissive layer), EIL (Electron injection layer)를 순차적으로 증착 하여 소자를 제작하였다. 발광층에는 유기물질 Alq3를 사용하여 녹색광을 방출하도록 하였다. Spin coater의 rpm에 따라 전도성 고분자의 두께가 결정이 되는데, rpm이 높을수록 두께가 얇으며, 얇을수록 소비전력 효율이 낮다. 하지만 전류밀도 특성이 균일하지 못한 것을 확인하였다. 휘도 효율 특성은 PEDOT의 두께가 얇을수록 동일한 전압에서 휘도가 낮은것을 확인 하였다. 또한 ITO를 이용한 동일 공정의 OLED와 비교하였을 때 상대적으로 낮은 휘도와 전류 효율특성을 보였지만, 전류밀도는 상대적으로 그래핀이 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구를 바탕으로 그래핀 소자의 개선이 이루어진다면 더욱 높은 효율과 휘도를 낼 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

$CsN_3$ was developed as a novel n doping material with air stability and low deposition temperature. Evaporation temperature of $CsN_3$ was similar to that of common hole injection material and it worked well as a n dopant in electron transport layer. Driving voltage was lowered and high power efficiency was obtained in green phosphorescent devices by using $CsN_3$ as a dopant in electron transport layer. It could also be used as a charge generation layer in combination with $MoO_3$. In addition, n doping mechanism study revealed that $CsN_3$ is decomposed into Cs and $N_2$ during evaporation. This is the first work reporting air stable and low temperature evaporable n dopant in organic light-emitting diodes.

We fabricated Au/PI/Pb and Au/PI/1-layer Arachidic acid/Pb structures in order to electron transport properties through the junctions. It was found that 9-layer PI LB films function as a good tunneling barrier from the I-V properties. And several peaks originating in the vibrational modes of the constituent molecules of 1-layer arachidicacid LB films were clearly observed in $d^2V/dI^2-V$ curves.

The Improved stability of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) containing lithium-quinolate (Liq) as the ETL doping material is investigated. The lifetime could be improved by threefold using the Liq-doped ETL structure. The improvement was attributed to the Liq-doped ETL, which improved hole-electron balance and has a good electrical stability. Additionally, when the Liq doped device was combined with an Mg/Al cathode, the OLED produced a longer lifetime than other device.

We analysed perovskite $CH_3NH_3PbI_{3-x}Cl_x$ inverted planer structure solar cell with nickel oxide (NiO) and spiroMeOTAD as hole conductors. This structure is free from electron transport layer. The thickness is optimized for NiO and spiro-MeOTAD hole conducting materials and the devices do not exhibit any significant variation for both hole transport materials. The back metal contact work function is varied for NiO hole conductor and observed that Ni and Co metals may be suitable back contacts for efficient carrier dynamics. The solar photovoltaic response showed a linear decrease in efficiency with increasing temperature. The electron affinity and band gap of transparent conducting oxide and NiO layers are varied to understand their impact on conduction and valence band offsets. A range of suitable band gap and electron affinity values are found essential for efficient device performance.
