Abstract:
The synthesis of highly luminescent, colloidally-stable and organically-capped silicon nanocrystals (ncSi) and their incorporation into a visible wavelength organic light-emitting diode (OLED) is reported. By substituting decyl chains with aromatic allylbenzene capping ligands and size-selecting visible emitting ncSi, superior packing density, enhanced charge transport, and an improved photoluminescence absolute quantum yield of the ncSi is obtained in the active layer of an OLED.
