传统的多重共振热活化延迟荧光材料(MR-TADF)的反向系间窜越速率(kRISC)低, 器件在高亮度下效率滚降明显. 因此, 本工作利用硒的重原子效应, 增强S1与T1的自旋轨道耦合, 提高三线态激子反向系间窜越速率, 从而降低器件在高亮度下的效率滚降. 我们在经典的硼氮类多重共振热活化延迟荧光材料BCzBN的基础上, 设计并合成了一种将硒原子引入咔唑的3, 6号位上的分子即2SetCzBN. 2SetCzBN在稀甲苯溶液中的半峰宽为26 nm, ΔEST仅有0.14 eV, 并且分子具有大的自旋轨道耦合, 最终实现了高达2.49 × 106 s-1的反向系间窜越速率. 将2SetCzBN分子掺杂在主体材料9-(2-(9-苯基-9H-咔唑-3-基)苯基)-9H-3,9'-双咔唑(PhCzBCz)中制备的器件具有绿色发光, 当掺入15% (w) Firpic敏化时, 器件的最大外量子效率(EQEmax)可达到27.6%, 并且在1000 cd/m2的高亮度下, 器件的EQE 为22.2%, 具有很低的效率滚降; 通过调控电子传输层厚度为50 nm时器件最大EQE达到了31.3%.

Conventional multiple resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence material (MR-TADF) has a narrow emission spectrum with full width at half maximum (FWHM) <30 nm due to its planar rigid structure that suppresses vibrational relaxation and thus makes devices with higher color purity, but it usually faces the problem of a low rate of reverse intersystem crossing (kRISC), and the device has a significant roll-off in efficiency at high luminance. Therefore, a molecule 2SetCzBN was designed and synthesized by introducing selenium atoms into the 3, 6 position of carbazole, which utilizes the heavy-atom effect of selenium to enhance the spin-orbit coupling effect of S1 and T1, accelerating the reverse intersystem crossing rate and thus decreasing the efficiency roll-off of the device at high luminance. The thermal decomposition temperature (temperature at 5% mass loss, Td) of the compound 2SetCzBN was 388 °C, proving that it can be sufficient to withstand the heat treatment procedures during device preparation. The FWHM of 2SetCzBN in dilute toluene solution is 26 nm and the ΔEST is only 0.14 eV. The prompt fluorescence lifetimes of 2SetCzBN film is 1.3 ns and the delayed fluorescence lifetime is 3.27 μs. The orbital distribution and geometric configuration of 2setczbn are simulated, and the molecule has a high oscillator strength (f) of 0.4577. Meanwhile, the S1 and T1 of 2SetCzBN are hybrid local charge transfer (HLCT) excited states, and the T2 energy level is mainly local excited states (LE). In addition, due to the influence of heavy atom effect, 2SetCzBN has a large spin-orbit coupling constant of 2.132 cm-1, and finally achieves a high reverse intersystem crossing rate (2.49 × 106 s-1). Remarkably, when 2SetCzBN was doped in the host material PhCzBCz with 15% (w) Firpic as the sensitizer, the OLED device achieves a maximum EQE of 27.6%, and 22.2% at 103 cd/m2. Furthermore, the maximum EQE can reach 31.3% with the optimal thickness of the electron-transport layer (50 nm).
