Problems solved by technology

However, the work function of pure graphene is 4.3-4.6eV, which is close to the ionization potential of the organic layer, far lower than the HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital) of the organic material in contact with the anode or higher than the LUMO of the organic material in contact with the cathode. (the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital), unable to meet the requirements of the OLED device for the electrode work function

Abstract

The invention relates to a graphene transparent electrode and a work function regulation and control method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of materials. The method comprises the followingsteps: pre-treating a transparent substrate; plating an ultrathin copper layer on the transparent substrate; growing a graphene layer on the surface of the ultrathin copper layer through a CVD method; forming a metal film layer on the graphene layer by using an ion sputtering method; and finally depositing an anti-reflection layer. According to the invention, the graphene is directly grown by using the ultrathin copper foil, so that the transfer step of the graphene is omitted; on the basis, the work function of the metal thin film layer is selectively regulated and controlled to be smaller than or larger than that of the graphene, and the anti-reflection layer is matched, so that the two key problems of the work function and the surface resistance of the graphene transparent electrode are solved on the premise that the transmittance is ensured. The graphene transparent electrode is good in stability and can be widely applied to the field of electronic information such as electroluminescent devices, solar cells and photoelectric detectors.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of materials, and relates to a graphene transparent electrode and a work function regulating method thereof. Background technique [0002] Graphene is a new material with a single-layer sheet structure composed of carbon atoms. It is a planar film composed of carbon atoms with sp2 hybrid orbitals forming a hexagonal honeycomb lattice, and a two-dimensional material with a thickness of only one carbon atom. Graphene combines excellent optical, electrical, mechanical, and chemical properties, and has the advantages of good flexibility, high carrier mobility, non-toxicity, and abundant resource reserves. Substituting graphene for ITO materials to make flexible transparent electrodes for organic semiconductor light-emitting devices (OLEDs) can solve the problems of inflexibility, high cost, poor transparency, difficulty in large-scale production, and non-environmental protection that exist in current OLED electrode mater...
