Abstract:
A universal thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) host, 4'-diphenylphosphinoylspiro[fluorene-9,9'-xanthene] (SFXSPO), is constructed with a highly distorted and asymmetric configuration and disordered molecular packing in its solid state. SFXSPO successfully endows its full-color TADF diodes with state-of-the-art performance, e.g., the record external quantum efficiency of 22.5% and 19.1% and internal quantum efficiency of ≈100% for its yellow TADF diodes and single-host full-TADF nearly-white-emitting devices, respectively.
