Abstract
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) have shown great potential as hole injection materials for perovskite light-emitting diodes due to their low parasitic absorption and ability to adjust energy level alignment. However, the head and anchoring groups on SAM molecules with significant differences in polarity can lead to the formation of micelles in the commonly used alcoholic processing solvent, inhibiting the formation of an intact SAM. In this work, the introduction of methyl groups on carbazole in the phosphonic-acid-based SAM materials is found to facilitate energy level alignment and promote the formation of compact SAMs. The alternative molecular structure also enhances the solvent resistance of poly(9-vinylcarbazole), suppressing interfacial defect densities and nonradiative recombination processes in the emissive perovskites. PeLEDs based on the methyl-containing SAMs exhibit ∼30% enhancement in efficiency. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the design of SAM materials for PeLED applications.
