Aggregation‐Induced Dual‐Phosphorescence from Organic Molecules for Nondoped Light‐Emitting Diodes
Abstract
Aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) is a beneficial strategy for generating highly effective solid‐state molecular luminescence without suffering losses in quantum yield. However, the majority of reported AIE‐active molecules exhibit only strong fluorescence, which is not ideal for electrical excitation in organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs). By introducing various substituent groups onto the biscarbazole compound, a series of molecular materials with aggregation‐induced phosphorescence (AIP) is designed, which exhibits two distinctly different phosphorescence bands and an absolute solid‐state room‐temperature phosphorescence quantum yield up to 64%. Taking advantage of the AIE feature, the AIP molecules are fabricated into OLEDs as a homogeneous light‐emitting layer, which allows for relatively small efficiency roll‐off and shows an external electroluminescence quantum yield of up to 5.8%, more than the theoretical limit for purely fluorescent OLED devices. The design showcases a promising strategy for the production of cost‐effective and highly efficient OLED technology.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
