▎ 摘　　要

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) were fabricated on a graphene electrode, with synthesized graphene being transferred and simultaneously doped with supporting polymers. Poly[methyl methacrylate] (PMMA) and fluoropolymer (CYTOP) layers were used as the supporting polymers. The sheet resistance of CYTOP-assisted graphene (CYTOP-G) with 4 layers of graphene is 200 Omega/sq., which is lower than that of PMMA-assisted graphene (PMMA-G, 330 Omega/sq.) The transmittance value of PMMA-G and CYTOP-G with 4 graphene layers is higher than 85%. CYTOP-G is shown to exhibit a higher tolerance to UV-O-3 treatment and thermal annealing than PMMA-G. Work function of CYFOP-G is 4.7 eV, which is higher than that of PMMA-G (4.3 eV). X-ray photoemission and Raman spectroscopy data indicate that CYTOP-G has numerous C-F bonds on the surface exhibiting p-type semiconductor properties, owing to the high electronegativity of fluorine. The turn-on voltage of an OLED based on CYTOP-G with 4 graphene layers is 4.2 V, which is lower than that of indium tin oxide (ITO)-based one (4.5 eV). Furthermore, the luminance ratio of graphene-based OLEDs to ITO-based OLEDs was calculated to be 104% for CYTOP-G, and 97% for PMMA-G. According to the ultraviolet photoemission spectra, the hole injection barrier in CYFOP-G is lower by about 0.5 eV than the hole injection barrier in PMMA-G. These results are very encouraging to the prospect of replacing ITO electrodes with graphene ones in OLED applications. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
