Investigation of electroluminescence properties of CdTe@CdS core-shell nanocrystals (NCs)

摘要

In this work, CdTe@CdS NCs were synthesized using a thermochemical approach and synthesized NCs were used as an emissive layer, a light emitting device, with ITO/MoO₃/PVK/CdTe@CdS(core-shell)/Mg:Ag structure. Structural and optical properties of synthesized NCs were investigated by means of XRD, UVa€“Vis and photoluminescence (PL) analyses. Fabricated device was characterized by electroluminescence spectra. XRD analysis demonstrated cubic phase NCs. Photoluminescence spectra showed a narrow band emission with a peak centred at about 600 nm. Fabricated device showed an emission at 600 nm, which is related to CdTe@CdS NCs. Turn on voltage of fabricated device is about 8 V and brightness is 53.7 Cd/m2 at a working voltage of about 14.57 V.
