ABSTRACTLight-Emitting Electrochemical Cells (LECs) consist of solution processable ionic light-emitting materials and use air stable electrodes. Their operational mechanism relies on both ionic and electronic conduction. The dynamic behavior is primarily determined by the ionic conductivity. Here, we demonstrate that with increasing temperature the LECs turn-on faster yet without decreasing the efficiency. This is due to the activation energy of ionic transport and the temperature independent photoluminescence quantum yields.

Greenish light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) reaching a lifetime of 271 hours at luminance of 1500 cd m−2 were realized by the introduction of a fluorinated ionic transition metal complex (iTMC) inside the ZnO nanocrystal hybrid-LEC device structure.

Light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) are solution-processable thin-film electroluminescent devices consisting of a luminescent material in an ionic environment. The simplest type of LEC is based on only one material, ionic transition-metal complexes (iTMCs). These materials are of interest for different scientific fields such as chemistry, physics, and technology as selected chemical modifications of iTMCs resulted in crucial breakthroughs for the performance of LECs. This short review highlights the different strategies used to design these compounds with the aim to enhance the performances of LECs.

AbstractThe processes underlying degradation of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) are gradually becoming understood. In ruthenium-based ionic transition metal complex (iTMC) OLEDs, a dimeric species forms during device operation that quenches light emission [1]. Water has been implicated in this degradation process [2]. We report recent studies on degradation of OLEDs fabricated with Ir(ppy)2(dtb-bpy)PF6 [ppy = 2-phenylpyridine, dtb-bpy = 4,4'-di-tert-butyl 2,2'-bipyridine [3]. We have found that applying a thicker-than-usual metal electrode results in shorter turn-on times and higher light emission, though little improvement in lifetime. It appears that the degradation of these devices occurs by a different mechanism from that of the ruthenium-based devices and may involve local heating leading to chemical decomposition of the organic material.Observation of recurring but often transient dark-colored substances in both the Ru(bpy)3(PF6)2 and Ir(ppy)2(dtb-bpy)PF6 systems, seen both in the solid state and in solution samples, may also be indicative of decomposition.
