Traps for Electrons and Holes Limit the Efficiency and Durability of Polymer Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells

Frank Nüesch, Wei-Hsu Hu, Camilla Arietta Vael-Garn

Polymer light-emitting electrochemical cells (PLECs) and light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) receive interest for large-area lighting and signage applications. During operation of a PLEC, a p-i-n junction develops where electrons and holes are injected into the ...

Electron Trap Dynamics in Polymer Light-Emitting Diodes

Frank Nüesch, Matthias Diethelm, Wei-Hsu Hu

Semiconducting polymers are being studied intensively for optoelectronic device applications, including solution-processed light-emitting diodes (PLEDs). Charge traps in polymers limit the charge transport and thus the PLED efficiency. It is firmly establi ...

Formation of electron traps in semiconducting polymers via a slow triple-encounter between trap precursor particles

Frank Nüesch, Wei-Hsu Hu

Already in 2012, Blom et al. reported (Nature Materials 2012, 11, 882) in semiconducting polymers on a general electron-trap density of approximate to 3 x 10(17) cm(-3), centered at an energy of approximate to 3.6 eV below vacuum. It was suggested that tra ...
