Popis: PEDOT:PSS (polyethylene dioxythiophene:polystyrenesulfonate) is a commonly used hole injection layer (HIL) in optoelectronic devices due to its high conductive properties and work function. However, the acidic and hygroscopic nature of PEDOT:PSS can be problematic for device stability over time. To address this issue, in this study we demonstrated the potential of an organic–inorganic hybrid HIL by incorporating solution-processed WOx nanoparticles (WOx NPs) into the PEDOT:PSS mixture. This hybrid solution was found to have a superior hole transport ability and low Ohmic contact resistance contributing to higher brightness (~62,000 cd m−2) and current efficiency (13.1 cd A−1) in the manufactured quantum-dot-based light-emitting diodes (QLEDs). In addition, the resulting devices achieved a relative operational lifetime of 7071 h, or approximately twice that of traditional QLEDs with PEDOT:PSS HILs. The proposed method is an uncomplicated, reliable, and low-cost way to achieve long operational lifetimes without sacrificing efficiency in optoelectronic devices.
