Phosphine Sulfide-Based Bipolar Host Materials for Blue Phosphorescent Organic Light-Emitting Diodes
Three phosphine sulfide-based bipolar host materials,vizCzPhPS,DCzPhPS, andTCzPhPS, were facilely prepared through a one-pot synthesis in excellent yields. The developed hosts exhibit superior thermal stabilities with the decomposition temperatures (Td) all exceeding 350 °C and the melting temperatures (Tm) over 200 °C. In addition, their triplet energy (ET) levels are estimated to be higher than 3.0 eV, illustrating that they are applicable to serve as hosts for blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PhOLEDs). The maxima luminance, current efficiency (CE), power efficiency (PE), and external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 17,223 cd m−2, 36.7 cd A−1, 37.5 lm W−1, and 17.5% are achieved for the blue PhOLEDs hosted byCzPhPS. The PhOLEDs based onDCzPhPSandTCzPhPSshow inferior device performance than that ofCzPhPS, which might be ascribed to the deteriorated charge transporting balance as the increased number of the constructed carbazole units inDCzPhPSandTCzPhPSmolecules would enhance the hole-transporting ability of the devices to a large extent. Our study demonstrates that the bipolar hosts derived from phosphine sulfide have enormous potential applications in blue PhOLEDs, and the quantity of donors should be well controlled to exploit highly efficient phosphine sulfide-based hosts.Keywords:bipolar host material;phosphorescent organic light-emitting diode;phosphine sulfide;carbazole;triplet energy level
