Stability of Quantum-Dot Light Emitting Diodes with Alkali Metal Carbonates Blending in Mg Doped ZnO Electron Transport Layer.

ABSTRACT: We report here the fabrication of highly efficient and long-lasting quantum-dot light emitting diodes (QLEDs) by blending various alkali metal carbonate in magnesium (Mg) doped zinc oxide (ZnO) (MZO) electron transport layer (ETL). Alkali metal carbonates blending in MZO, X₂CO₃:MZO, control the band-gap, electrical properties, and thermal stability. This can therefore enhance the operational lifetime of QLEDs. It is found that the conductivity of X₂CO₃:MZO film can be controlled and the thermal stability of ETLs could be improved by X₂CO₃ blending in MZO. The inverted red QLEDs (R-QLEDs) with Cs₂CO₃:MZO, Rb₂CO₃:MZO, and K₂CO₃:MZO ETLs exhibited the operational
