Abstract
Hybrid light-emitting diodes (HyLEDs) incorporating the advantages of organic and inorganic semiconductors, were promising to realise efficient electroluminescence with air-stable charge-injection interfaces. However, HyLEDs with only inorganic semiconductor such as zinc oxide (ZnO) as electron-injection layer suffered from low devices efficiencies due to large electron injection barrier. To improve the electron injection, conjugated polyelectrolyte poly[(9,9-bis(3’-(N,N-dimethylamino)propyl)-2,7-fluorene) -alt-2,7-(9,9-dioctylfluorene)] (PFN) was used together with ZnO as electron-injection layer by fabricating it on top of ZnO. Experimental data showed that the light efficiencies of HyLEDs were almost doubled after the insertion of PFN. The performances enhancement was attributed to the reduced energy barrier for electron injection from ZnO. The electron current increased. And therefore, the balance of electron and hole currents was improved.
