Description

The present disclosure claims priority to Chinese Application NO. 202210210833.5 filed in the China National Intellectual Property Administration on Mar. 4, 2022 and entitled “NANO ZINC OXIDE SOLUTION, PREPARATION METHOD THEREFOR, NANO ZINC FILM, PHOTOELECTRIC DEVICE, AND DISPLAY APPARATUS”, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.


TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a field of display technologies, and more particularly, to a preparation method of a nano zinc oxide solution, a photoelectric device, and a display apparatus.


BACKGROUND

Photoelectric devices refer to devices made according to the photoelectric effect, which have a wide range of applications in new energy, sensing, communication, display, lighting and other fields, such as solar cells, photodetectors, organic electroluminescent devices (OLED) or quantum dot electroluminescent devices (QLED). The structure of traditional photoelectric devices mainly includes an anode, a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer (i.e. an electron transport film), an electron injection layer and a cathode. Under the action of the electric field, the holes generated by the anode and the electrons generated by the cathode of the optoelectronic device move, inject into the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer respectively, and finally migrate to the light-emitting layer. When the two meet in the light-emitting layer, energy excitons are generated, thereby exciting the light-emitting molecules to finally produce visible light.


Quantum dots (QD) are semiconductor clusters with size ranging from 1 to 10 nm. Due to the quantum size effect, they have photoelectronic properties with tunable band gap, and can be applied to light-emitting diodes, solar cells, biofluorescent labeling and other fields. As an inorganic semiconductor material, quantum dots have a broad application prospect in the field of photoluminescence due to their unique photoluminescence and electroluminescence characteristics, including narrow luminescence spectrum, high color purity and good optical stability. Quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED) is a device that uses colloidal quantum dots as a light-emitting layer. The light-emitting layer is introduced between different conductive materials to obtain light of the required wavelength. It has the advantages of high color gamut, self-luminescence, low starting voltage, fast response speed, etc. It is used in various display devices such as mobile phones, computers, and televisions, and has broad development prospects. The films prepared from zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles solution have a wide band gap and relatively high electron mobility and stability, so semiconductor ZnO films are one of the best choices for preparing QLED electron transport layer materials. The ZnO electron transport layer of QLED is usually prepared by solution method. In order to ensure its film-forming quality, it is crucial to prepare ZnO nanoparticles with good dispersion to improve the performance of QLED.


As illustrated in FIG. 1, the existing ZnO nano solutions are generally synthesized by zinc salt and alkali solution methods. During the synthesis, Zn—OH clusters are formed, and the —OH on the surfaces of different clusters condenses to form nano zinc oxide (ZnO NPs) particles. Therefore, there are many —OH ligands and carboxyl (—COOH) ligands suspended on the surface of the formed ZnO NPs. After being prepared into ZnO NPs solution, there are some ZnO NPs with more —OH hanging on the surface, which makes it easy for them to continue to condense with other ZnO NPs to form larger ZnO NPs particles, which makes the dispersibility of ZnO NPs solution poor and reduces the preservation stability of ZnO NPs. Moreover, these larger particles of ZnO NPs do not meet the requirements of solution processing, which will lead to poor film formation quality and affect the device performance.


Therefore, how to reduce the amount of —OH on the surface of ZnO NPs solution, inhibit the agglomeration of ZnO NPs, and improve the stability of ZnO NPs solution has become an urgent problem to be solved in the industry.

Currently, the existing ZnO nano solutions are generally synthesized by zinc salt and alkali solution methods. During the synthesis, Zn—OH clusters are formed, and the —OH on the surfaces of different clusters condenses to form nano zinc oxide (ZnO NPs) particles. Therefore, there are many —OH ligands and carboxyl (—COOH) ligands suspended on the surface of the formed ZnO NPs. After being prepared into ZnO NPs solution, there are some ZnO NPs with more —OH hanging on the surface, which makes it easy for them to continue to condense with other ZnO NPs to form larger ZnO NPs particles, which makes the dispersibility of ZnO NPs solution poor and reduces the preservation stability of ZnO NPs. Moreover, these larger particles of ZnO NPs do not meet the requirements of solution processing, which will lead to poor film formation quality and affect the device performance.

At the same time, the film formation quality of ZnO NPs is improved, and the performance of the device is improved.

And the proportion of the number of surface —OH ligands and —COOH ligands on the surface of the nano zinc oxide is less than or equal to 1%, can effectively prevent the condensation of surface hydroxyl groups in the storage of the ZnO NPs solution at room temperature, inhibit the agglomeration of the ZnO NPs, make the size of the ZnO NPs more uniform, and the stability of the ZnO NPs solution higher.

The type of the placode is not limited. In an embodiment, the placode is a cathode substrate, and an electron transport layer including the nano zinc oxide film is arranged on the cathode. Among them, the substrate can be a commonly used substrate, for example, it can be a rigid substrate, and a material is glass. It can also be a flexible substrate made of polyimide. A material of the cathode can be, for example, one or more of metal, carbon material, and metal oxide. And the metal can be, for example, one or more of Al, Ag, Cu, Mo, Au, Ba, Ca, and Mg. The carbon material can be, for example, one or more of graphite, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon fibre. The metal oxides can be doped or undoped metal oxides, including one or more of ITO, FTO, ATO, AZO, GZO, IZO, MZO, and AMO, and also include composite electrodes with metal sandwiched between doped or undoped transparent metal oxides.

Solution method includes, but is not limited to, spin coating, drop coating, coating, ink-jet printing, blade coating, dipping and pulling, soaking, spraying, roller coating, evaporation or casting.


The drying treatment in this present can be an annealing process. Among them, the annealing process includes all the treatment processes that can make the wet film get higher energy, thus changing from the wet film state to the dry state. For example, the annealing process can only refer to the heat treatment process, that is, the wet film is heated to a specific temperature and then kept for a specific time to fully volatilize the solvent in the wet film. Another example is the annealing process, which can also include a heat treatment process and a cooling process in sequence, that is, the wet film is heated to a specific temperature, then kept for a specific time to fully volatilize the solvent in the first wet film, and then cooled at an appropriate speed to eliminate residual stress and reduce the risk of layer deformation and cracks in the dry hole transport film.

After the ZnO solution was left at room temperature for 7 days, the hydration particle size distribution of ZnO NPs in the solution was tested by dynamic light scattering.


From the comparison in Table 1, it can be seen that the size distribution of ZnO after CO2 treatment is single, and there are almost no agglomerated large-particle ZnO NPs, while the untreated ZnO has agglomerated large-particle ZnO NPs, which shows that the removal of surface —OH by CO2 atmosphere treatment effectively inhibits the agglomeration of ZnO and improves the stability of the device.


Through the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 in FIG. 8, it can be seen that the untreated ZnO has large particle ZnO agglomeration, and the film formation is poor, and there are no obvious abnormal particle points in the electroluminescent picture. After the treated ZnO is used to prepare the device, the film formation uniformity is better, and there are no obvious abnormal particles in the electroluminescent picture.


From Table 1, it can be seen that the ZnO treated by acid gas has better film-forming performance, fewer device defects, higher device efficiency and longer device life, and the addition of water absorbent can obtain a more stable ZnO surface and further improve the device life.
