Abstract

The quenching of singlet excitons by injected charge carriers in molecules that display thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) was investigated using time-resolved transient photoluminescence (PL) techniques. Injected electrons did not affect the excitons; however, injected holes caused significant quenching. Using a rate-equation analysis, the hole-induced exciton quenching rate was determined to be between 10–11 and 10–12 cm3 s–1. Interestingly, the TADF emission component was enhanced in the presence of injected holes, plausibly due to a reduction of the singlet-exciton energy level.
