RESUMEN

Biopolymers such as carboxymethyl cellulose and hyaluronic acid are alternative substrates for conformable organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, drawbacks such as mechanical stress susceptibility can hinder the device's performance under stretched conditions. To overcome these limitations, herein, we developed a nanocomposite based on CMC/HA (carboxymethyl cellulose/hyaluronic acid) and synthetic Laponite, intending to improve the mechanical strength without compromising the film flexibility and transparency (transmittance >80%; 380-700 nm) as substrates for conformable OLEDs. From XRD, FTIR, CP-MAS NMR, and TGA/DTG characterization techniques, it was possible to conclude the presence of Laponite randomly dispersed between the polymer chains. CMC/HA with 5% (w/w) Laponite, CMC/HA 5, presented a higher tensile strength (370.6 MPa) and comparable Young's modulus (51.0 ± 1.2 MPa) in comparison to the nanocomposites and pristine films, indicating a better candidate for the device's substrates. To produce the OLED, the multilayer structure ITO/MoO3/NPB/TCTA:Ir(ppy)3/TPBi:Ir(ppy)3/BPhen/LiF was deposited onto the CMC/HA 5 substrate. The OLEDs fabricated using CMC/HA 5 substrates showed higher luminance (12 kcd/m2) and irradiance (0.9 mW/cm2) values when compared with those based on commercial bacterial cellulose. However, the same device presented a lower efficiency (3.2 cd/A) due to a higher current density. Moreover, the OLED fabricated onto the Laponite-modified biopolymer presented reproducible behavior when submitted to continuous bending stress. Thus, CMC/HA 5 demonstrates potential as a transparent conductor substrate for biopolymer-based OLEDs with comparable performance to commercial bacterial cellulose features.

RESUMEN

In recent years, nanoparticulate materials have aroused interest in the field of organic electronics due to their high versatility which increases the efficiency of devices. In this work, four different stable conformations based on the organic semiconductors P3HT and PC71BM were synthesized using the nanoprecipitation method, including blend and core-shell nanoparticles. All nanoparticles were obtained free of surfactants and in aqueous suspensions following the line of ecologically correct routes. The structural and optoelectronic properties of the nanoparticles were investigated by dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and UV-visible photoluminescence (PL). Even in aqueous media, the blend and core-shell nanoparticles exhibited a greater light absorption capacity, and these conformations proved to be effective in the process of dissociation of excitons that occurs at the P3HT donor/PC71BM acceptor interface. With all these characteristics and allied to the fact that the nanoparticles are surfactant-free aqueous suspensions, this work paves the way for the use of these colloids as a photoactive layer of organic photovoltaic devices that interface with biological systems.

RESUMEN

A new biopolymer obtained from onion pulp (Allium cepa L.) was employed to produce a sustainable substrate for flexible organic light-emitting diodes (FOLEDs). Indium tin oxide (ITO) and SiO2 thin films were deposited by rf-magnetron sputtering onto these biosubstrates to obtain flexible, transparent, and conductive anodes, on top of which FOLEDs were produced. This new biomaterial exhibits an optical transparency of 63% at 550 nm. ITO films were optimized by varying rf power during deposition onto the biopolymers, and their electrical properties are comparable to the those of ITO grown on top of rigid substrates: a carrier concentration of -3.63 × 1021 cm-3 and carrier mobility of 7.72 cm2 V-1 s-1 for the optimized film. Consequently, the sheet resistance and resistivity of this ITO film were 8.92 Ω sq-1 and 2.23 × 10-4 Ω cm, respectively, hence allowing the production of FOLEDs. The A. cepa L. based FOLED was fabricated using CuPc, ß-NPB, and Alq3 as organic layers, and it exhibited a maximum luminance of about 2062 cd m-2 at 16.6 V. The current efficiency reached a maximum value of 2.1 cd A-1 at 85.3 mA cm-2. The obtained results suggest the possibility to use these substrates for innovative biocompatible applications in optoelectronics, such as photodynamic therapy.
