Two-In-One Method for Graphene Transfer: Simplified Fabrication Process for Organic Light-Emitting Diodes
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2018

Graphene as one of the most promising transparent electrode materials has been successfully applied in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, traditional poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) transfer method usually results in hardly removed polymeric residues on the graphene surface, which induces unwanted leakage current, poor diode behavior, and even device failure. In this work, we proposed a facile and efficient two-in-one method to obtain clean graphene and fabricate OLEDs, in which the poly(9,9-di-n-octylfluorene-alt-(1,4-phenylene-(4-sec-butylphenyl)imino)-1,4-phenylene) (TFB) layer was inserted between the graphene and PMMA film both as a protector during the graphene transfer and a hole-injection layer in OLEDs. Finally, green OLED devices were successfully fabricated on the PMMA-free graphene/TFB film, and the device luminous efficiency was increased from 64.8 to 74.5 cd/A by using the two-in-one method. Therefore, the proposed two-in-one graphene transfer method realizes a high-efficient graphene transfer and device fabrication process, which is also compatible with the roll-to-roll manufacturing. It is expected that this work can enlighten the design and fabrication of the graphene-based optoelectronic devices.
