摘要

Thick molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) films (ca. 120 nm) were successfully deposited by an aqueous solution-processed method based on direct dissolution of the powder of ammonium molybdate ((NH4)(6)Mo7O24 center dot 4H(2)O) precursors in deionized water. X- ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) analyses showed that aqueous solution-processed MoO3 (sMoO(3)) has almost the same characteristics as the vacuum-evaporated MoO3 (eMoO(3)). Besides acting as a hole injection material, thicker MoO3 operated as a short-circuit barrier layer in large-scale organic light-mitting devices (OLEDs). The successful fabrication of 150 x 150 mm(2) lighting panels confirmed the dual function of thick sMoO(3) films in large-area OLEDs.
