摘要
We have synthesized and characterized a novel thermally polymerizable triaryldiamine monomer (VB-FNPD) possessing a styrene-functionalized 9,9-diarylfluorene core and have used time-of-flight transient photocurrent techniques to investigate the hole transport properties of its solution-processed and subsequently thermally cured (170 degrees C) polymer films. This novel polymeric material exhibits nondispersive hole transport behavior with a high hole drift mobility (up to 10(-4) cm(2) V(-1) s(-1)). The film displayed remarkable ambient stability, even when exposed to air for one month. We tested the thermally generated polymer film as a hole transport material in organic light-emitting diodes incorporating tris(8-hydroxyquinolate) aluminium (Alq3) as the emission and electron transport layer. The device exhibited a maximum external quantum efficiency (eta(ex)) of 1.4%, significantly better than that of the device prepared using the corresponding model compound VB-model (eta(ex) = 1.1%).
