| Popis: | Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) involves light emission accompanied by a series of electrochemical processes on luminophores, which has been recently exploited in a new light-emitting device platform, referred to as the ECL device (ECLD). Here, we investigate the influence of the transport of the ECL luminophores and their reaction kinetics on the emission properties of alternating current-voltage-driven ECLDs. A model based on the diffusion and reaction rate equations is developed to predict the operational frequency ( f)-dependent luminance properties of the ECLD. It is found that more frequent generation of the redox precursors with a shorter time interval enhances their probability of encountering each other, and therefore the luminance of the device increases with increasing f initially. The luminance at a higher f, however, is suppressed eventually due to the decreased rate of the electrode reactions. Using the model, the influence of diffusion and reaction rates on the performance of an ECLD is analyzed separately and systematically. The results provide insight on the operation of this emerging class of a light-emitting device platform. |
