Abstract

The effect of cesium carbonate (Cs 2CO 3) doping on the electron transport properties of 4,7-diphenyl-1, 10-phenanthroline (BPhen) layer has been investigated in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Temperature-dependent admittance spectroscopy studies show that the incorporation of Cs 2CO 3 from 0 to 42 wt.% can decrease the activation energy of the BPhen layer from 1.3 to 0.18 eV, resulting in the enhanced electron injection and transport with respect to reduced injection barrier and increased conductivity of the BPhen layer. This is consistent with the performance improvement in OLEDs, which yields better electrical characteristics and enhanced luminance efficiency.
