Enhancing hole injection by electric dipoles for efficient blue InP QLEDs
APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS(2021)
Abstract
The unbalanced carrier injection is a key factor that deteriorates the performance of blue InP quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs). Therefore, to achieve efficient blue InP QLEDs, an effective strategy that balances carrier injection through enhancing the hole injection and transport is in demand. In this study, we introduced an ultrathin MoO3 electric dipole layer between the hole injection layer and the hole transport layer (HTL) to form a pair of dipole-induced built-in electric fields with forward resultant direction to enhance hole injection and facilitate the balance of carrier injection. Meanwhile, the p-doping effect by MoO3 leads to increased carrier concentration and decreased trap density of interfacial HTL, therefore improved its effective hole mobility. Consequently, the maximal external quantum efficiency of blue InP QLEDs was enhanced from 1.0% to 2.1%. This work provides an effective method to balance carrier injection by modulating hole injection and transport, indicating the feasibility to realize high-efficiency QLEDs.
