摘要
Fast and efficient exciton utilization is a crucial solution and highly desirable for achieving high-performance blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, the rate and efficiency of exciton utilization in traditional OLEDs, which employ fully closed-shell materials as emitters, are inevitably limited by spin statistical limitations and transition prohibition. Herein, a new sensitization strategy, namely doublet-sensitized fluorescence (DSF), is proposed to realize high-performance deep-blue electroluminescence. In the DSF-OLED, a doublet-emitting cerium(III) complex, Ce-2, is utilized as sensitizer for multi-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitter nu-DABNA. Experimental results reveal that holes and electrons predominantly recombine on Ce-2 to form doublet excitons, which subsequently transfer energy to the singlet state of nu-DABNA via exceptionally fast (over 108 s-1) and efficient (approximate to 100%) F & ouml;rster resonance energy transfer for deep-blue emission. Due to the circumvention of spin-flip in the DSF mechanism, near-unit exciton utilization efficiency and remarkably short exciton residence time of 1.36 mu s are achieved in the proof-of-concept deep-blue DSF-OLED, which achieves a Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage coordinate of (0.13, 0.14), a high external quantum efficiency of 30.0%, and small efficiency roll-off of 14.7% at a luminance of 1000 cd m-2. The DSF device exhibits significantly improved operational stability compared with unsensitized reference device. Due to the circumvention of spin-flip in a new device concept, namely doublet-sensitized fluorescence, near-unit exciton utilization efficiency and remarkably short exciton residence time of 1.3 mu s are achieved. Fast (over 108 s-1) and efficient (approximate to 100%) exciton utilization enables high-performance deep-blue organic light-emitting diodes with a high external quantum efficiency of 30.0% and a small efficiency roll-off of 14.7%. image
