The present invention relates to an organic optoelectronic compound applied in an organic optoelectronic device, and in particular to an organic optoelectronic compound with a pyrazine core structure and an organic optoelectronic device comprising the same.
In recent years, due to the vigorous development of solar energy and photodetector-related industries, the main applicable fields range from general livelihood and industries to medical testing and other purposes. In the application part of photodetectors, the increasing reliance on consumer electronics such as smartphones for applications like electronic payments and the expanding use of biometric technologies such as full-screen fingerprint recognition and vein pattern recognition has directly or indirectly driven the demand for such technologies. At present, many manufacturers have stepped up their deployment of photodetector-related technologies, and the future is promising.
As mentioned above, image detectors have become one of the fastest growing semiconductor product categories in recent years. Its applications can be mainly classified according to the photo detective band. For example, lenses, optical communications, biochips or fingerprint scanning all rely on photodetection technology in the visible band. Currently, the mainstream technology in the market is photodetectors composed of single crystal silicon. However, since the wavelength range occupied by visible light is far smaller than that of invisible region, the application demand for invisible region has been becoming a significantly increasing trend in the near future; for example, biometric technologies, such as vein scanners, iris sensors, and facial recognition, as well as the physiological vital sign monitoring technology of pulse oximetry measurement, and machine vision applications like LiDAR and time of flight sensors that are currently required by self-driving cars. Therefore, how to provide an organic photodetector with high performance and low cost in the absorption range of near infrared or shortwave infrared corresponding to the above applications is a very important issue at present.
Active layer materials play an important role in organic photodetectors and will directly affect device performance. The active layer material is divided into two parts: donor materials and acceptor materials. For the donor materials, the development of D-A conjugated polymers is the mainstream. The electron push-pull effect of electron-rich units and electron-deficient units in conjugated polymers can be used to control the energy levels and energy band gaps of polymers. The acceptor materials blended with the donor materials are usually fullerene derivatives with high conductivity, and its light absorption range is about 400˜600 nm. However, the structure of fullerene derivatives is not easy to be adjusted, and their light absorption and energy levels are limited within a certain range, which limits the overall combination of the donor materials and the acceptor materials. With the development of the market, the demand for materials in the near-infrared region is gradually increasing. Even if the light absorption range of the conjugated polymer of the donor materials can be adjusted to the near-infrared region, it may not be able to have a good match due to the limitation of fullerene acceptor materials. Therefore, it is very important to develop non-fullerene acceptor materials to replace traditional fullerene acceptor materials in the breakthrough of active layer materials. The material development of the non-fullerene acceptor materials is mainly to form A-D-A ladder type molecules with electron-rich centers and electron-deficient units on both sides. D is usually a ladder type molecule composed of benzene and thiophene, and A is usually an indanone-cyano derivative. ITIC is a representative non-fullerene acceptor with an absorption range about 600˜750 nm, and it also has good performance in organic photodetectors. In addition to the A-D-A ladder molecules, in 2019, the ladder type molecules published by Yang et.al with the A-D-A′-D-A structure, such as Y6 (BTP-4F), have a light absorption range of 600˜900 nm, which further extends the light absorption spectrum of non-fullerene acceptors to near-infrared region. However, the current non-fullerene acceptors with Y6 structure is served as the core suffer from insufficient thermal stability. For example, Y6, which performs better in the BTP series, has a glass transition temperature of only 102° C. and a decomposition temperature of only 318° C., which presents a significant challenge in terms of product lifespan and stability while being applied to mass-produced commercial goods. Therefore, the development of an organic optoelectronic compound that not only covers near-infrared light absorption but also exhibits excellent thermal stability in device performance is a critical issue at present.

As used herein, “donor” material and “p-type” (“P-type”) material refer to a semiconductor material, such as an organic semiconductor material, having holes as a primary current or charge carrier. In some embodiments, when a p-type semiconductor material is deposited on a substrate, it can provide the hole mobility greater than about 10−5 cm2/Vs.

The inductive effect is the effect that the bonding electron cloud moves in a certain direction on the atomic bond due to the difference in polarity (electronegativity) of atoms or groups in the molecule. The electron cloud tends to move towards the groups or atoms with more electronegativity.
“”, “
” or “*” in the structures listed herein represents the available bonding positions of this structure, but not limited thereto.
As used herein, “polymer” refers to a very large molecule consisting of thousands of covalently bonded atoms. Polymer is composed of many repeating units, that is, monomers (composed of one or more atoms) bonded together by covalent bonds. From the point of view of physical properties, the number of repeating units should be so large that adding some more repeating units will not significantly change the physical properties. Polymer is further divided into copolymer and homopolymer. The homopolymer is polymerized from only one type of monomer. The copolymer is polymer formed by the polymerization of two or more monomers. The copolymer is divided into alternating copolymer, random copolymer, block copolymer and graft copolymer.

As used herein, “annealing” refers to a post-deposition thermal treatment to a semi-crystalline polymer film for certain duration in the environment or under decompressed or pressurized environment. “Annealing temperature” refers to the temperature at which the polymer film or the mixed film of the polymer and other molecules can perform small-scale molecular movement and rearrangement during the annealing process. Without being limited by any particular theory, it is believed that annealing can lead to an increase in crystallinity in the polymer film and enhance the carrier mobility of the polymer film or a mixed film formed by the polymer and other molecules, and the molecules are arranged alternately to achieve the effect of independent transporting paths of effective electrons and holes.
The external quantum efficiency (EQE) as used herein is the spectral response Amp/Watt unit, which Amp is converted to the number of electrons per unit time (electron/sec) and Watt is converted to the number of photons per unit time (Photons/sec), and insert the quantum efficiency obtained by the above formula. Generally speaking, quantum efficiency (QE) refers to external quantum efficiency (EQE), also known as incident photon-electron conversion efficiency (IPCE).
Due to the existing technology, ladder-shaped molecules such as Y6 (BTP-4F) formed by the A-D-A′-D-A structure have insufficient thermal stability. In view of this, the present invention redesigns the structural core on the premise of increasing the thermal stability of the non-fullerene acceptor of the A-D-A′-D-A structure type and maintaining the high efficiency characteristics of this material. This is intended to expand both the breadth and depth of its application in relevant fields once commercialized.

The examples and Comparative Example Ref. are all ladder-shaped molecules formed by the A-D-A′-D-A structure. However, the difference is that the organic optoelectronic compound of the present invention has a pyrazine core structure. The examples and Comparative Example Ref. listed in the table all use cyclic voltammetry to measure the oxidation properties. After calculation (HOMO=−|4.71+Eox−Eferroncene|), the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) is obtained, and then through the absorption starting position (λfilmonset) of the UV-Vis-NIR absorption spectrum of the material's thin film state, the optical energy gap (Eg=1241/λfilmonset) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the material can be known, LUMO=HOMO+Eg). As shown in Table 1, energy level, HOMO, LUMO, and the maximum absorption value and absorption coefficient of film state and solution state are recorded.

A glass coated by a pre-patterned indium tin oxides (ITO) with a sheet resistance of ˜15 Ω/sq is used as a substrate. The substrate is ultrasonically oscillated in soap deionized water, deionized water, acetone, and isopropanol in sequence, and washed in each step for 15 minutes. The washed substrate is further treated with a UV-ozone cleaner for 15 minutes. The top coat of AZO (Aluminum-doped zinc oxide) solution is spin coated on the ITO substrate with a spin rate of 2000 rpm for 40 seconds, and then baked at 120° C. in air for 5 minutes to form an electron transporting layer (ETL). The active layer solution was prepared with the weight ratio of donor material:acceptor material is 1:1˜2). The donor material includes DO-01 to DO-34 materials, and the acceptor material includes at least one of the organic optoelectronic compounds and the active layer material of the present invention. In order to completely dissolve the active layer material, the active layer solution needs to be stirred on a hot plate at 100° C. for at least 3 hours. After completely dissolving the active layer material, the active layer solution is filtered with PTFE filter membrane (pore size 0.45˜1.2 μm) and heated for 1 hour. Then, the active layer solution is cooled to the room temperature for spin coating, and the spin rate was used to control the film thickness in the range of 100˜800 nm. Finally, the thin film formed by the coated active layer is annealed at 100° C. for 5 minutes, and then transferred to a thermal evaporation machine. A thin layer (8 nm) of MoO3 is deposited as a hole transporting layer (HTL) under a vacuum of 3×10−6 Torr. In this experiment, a Keithley™ 2400 source meter was used to record the dark current (Jd, at a bias of 0.5˜−6.0 V) in the absence of light. External quantum efficiency system was used to measure external quantum efficiency (EQE) with a range of 300˜1100 nm (bias voltage 0˜−0.5 V), and silicon (300˜1100 nm) is used for light source calibration. The component heat resistance test is to place the organic optoelectronic device on a hot plate with 160° C. and heat it for 1 hour, then return it to room temperature for efficiency measurement.

Please refer to Table 2. Table 2 shows the thermal stability test results of organic optoelectronic devices Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Example Ref. Wherein, the donor material of the organic optoelectronic devices is DO-34, and the acceptor materials are organic optoelectronic compounds N14, N15, D01, P01 and Ref. It should be understood that although the following tests use DO-34 as the donor material, it is not limited to this. This is only an exemplary explanation. The DO-01˜DO-33 proposed above can also have similar test results. In addition, in the following tests, N14 and N15 are selected to represent small molecules, D01 is selected to represent dimers, and P01 is selected to represent polymer. However, this is not a limitation. This is only an exemplary explanation. The above-mentioned embodiments are also Similar test results are possible.

As shown in Table 2, Table 2 shows the EQE performance of the tested organic optoelectronic devices before heating and after heating to 160° C. for 1 hour. The EQE before heating is set to 1 to compare the results of the EQE tested after heating. It can be seen from Table 2 that the difference between the EQE of the heated organic optoelectronic devices of the present invention and the EQE of the unheated one is approximately ±0.2. Even though the thermal stability of Example 3 is worse than that of Examples 1 to 4, it can still maintain about 70% of EQE efficiency. In comparison, the EQE result of the Comparative Example Ref. is only 20%. The organic optoelectronic devices of the present invention have good thermal stability. The thermal stability test in Table 2 echoes the thermal stability test results of the film surface in
Based on the above experimental results, the organic optoelectronic compound of the present invention has a pyrazine core structure and can be used as a non-fullerene acceptor material. Wherein, the structure of Formula 1 has the following characteristics: (1) providing additional conjugation planes for molecules and strengthening the interaction between molecules, which makes carrier flow smoother and reduces energy loss; in addition, the arrangement and energy level of the material can also be changed by changing the functional groups and structural symmetry, and the asymmetric structure has the effect of reducing energy dissipation through non-radiation; (2) the added structure can extend the conjugation and increase the structural rigidity to enhance the thermal stability of the material and, in addition, the addition of heteroaromatic rings can also be used to synthesize dimers or trimers to further improve thermal stability and have the opportunity to extend the material stacking network; and (3) since adding a conjugated plane may cause the problem of decreased solubility of the material, the material modified in this way can modify the functional groups in a simpler way and can change the material's properties without affecting the overall conjugated system too much solubility and clustering patterns.
With the detailed description of the above embodiments, it is hoped that the features and spirit of the present invention can be more clearly described, and the scoped of the present invention is not limited by the embodiments disclosed above.
