<p>The synthesis of Fe-doped TiO<sub>2</sub> thin film using spin coating method was studied. Effects of aging time on the deposited thin film were investigated. Titanium butoxide (C<sub>16</sub>H<sub>36</sub>O<sub>4</sub>Ti) as a precursor solution was mixed with the FeCl<sub>3</sub>. Spin coating process was carried out on three types of precursor solution: (1) spin-coating process performed immediately after the precursor solution was made, (2) spin-coating process performed after solution was aged for 24 hours, (3) aged for 24 and (4) spin-coating after aging the precursor for 72 hours. Heating was carried out on the resulting thin film at temperature of 400 °C. The morphology of TiO<sub>2</sub> layers was characterized using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). Elemental and phase composition of the films was determined using EDX and X-ray diffraction (XRD). We found that the best TiO<sub>2</sub> layer is obtained when spin-coating process is done after aging the precursor for 72 hours. The layer shows a more uniform particle distribution on the substrate and a more monodisperse particle size dominated by the anatase phase.</p>

The investigation of crystal growth is crucial for us to improve the film quality and photophysical properties of CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3). In the two-step spin-coating process, the crystal structure could be modulated by controlling the growth conditions of PbI2 and CH3NH3I (MAI) layers. In this paper, the PbI2 layer was treated with annealing under different times. A liquid–liquid diffusion (LLD) mechanism is proposed to modify the deposition of MAI precursor solution and enhance the flatness of organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite film. Furthermore, the perovskite films are prepared using different concentrations of MAI. The evolution process of perovskite structure is observed by modulating the concentration of MAI. The spin-coating of moderate MAI tends to form high quality MAPbI3 films with enhanced absorption and carrier extraction capabilities. The high concentration of MAI would cause the perovskite phase transition, which provides a novel perspective to modulate the structure of organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite in the two-step spin-coating process, although it deteriorates the device performance.

The present work shows the effect of the ZnO layer morphology on inverted quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) using different spin-coating processes. In the inverted structure of ITO/ZnO/QDs/CBP/MoO3/Al, ZnO nanoparticles were used as the electron transport layer. The utilization of a two-step spin-coating process to deposit a ZnO layer on a patterned ITO glass substrate resulted in an increase in the surface roughness of the ZnO layer and a decrease in the luminance of the QLEDs. However, the current efficiency of the device was enhanced by more than two-fold due to the reduced current density. Optimization of the ZnO spin-coating process can efficiently improve the optical and electrical properties of QLEDs.

AbstractWe herein present the results of a study on the novel fabrication process of uniform and homogeneous semiconducting polymer layers, in this case hole-injecting and fluorescent light-emitting layers that were produced by a simple solution-coating process for 3D conformal organic light-emitting diodes (3D OLEDs) on curvilinear surfaces. The solution-coating process used was a newly developed method of vortex-flow-assisted solution-coating with the support of spinning of the coating solution. It is shown that the vortex-flow-assisted spin-coating process can produce high-quality thin films at nanoscale thicknesses by controlling the liquid surface of the coating solutions, which can easily be adjusted by changing the spinning speed, even on complex curvilinear surfaces, i.e., a quasi-omnidirectional coating. This excellent film-forming ability without any serious film defects is mainly due to the reduction of line tension among the solution, air, and the substrate at the contact line due to vortex flows of the coating solution on the substrate during the vortex-spin-coating process. As a proof of concept, we present vortex-spin-coated 3D OLEDs fabricated on bi-convex lens substrates which exhibit excellent device performance with high brightness and current efficiency levels comparable to those of a conventional spin-coated 2D planar OLED on a flat substrate. It is also shown that the EL emission from the 3D OLED on the bi-convex lens substrate exhibits a diffusive Lambertian radiation pattern. The results here demonstrate that the vortex-flow-assisted spin-coating process is a promising approach for producing efficient and reliable next-generation OLEDs for 3D conformal opto-electronics.
