Abstract

Electronic processes at the heterojunction between chemically different organic semiconductors are of special significance for devices such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and photovoltaic diodes. Here, we report the formation of an exciplex state at the heterojunction of an electron-transporting material, a functionalized hexaazatrinaphthylene, and a hole-transporting material, poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-alt-N-(4-butylphenyl)diphenylamine) (TFB). The energetics of the exciplex state leads to a spectral shift of ∼1 eV between the exciton and the exciplex peak energies (at 2.58 eV and 1.58 eV, respectively). LEDs incorporating such bulk heterojunctions display complete quenching of the exciton luminescence, and a nearly pure near-infrared electroluminescence arising from the exciplex (at ∼1.52 eV) with >98% of the emission at wavelengths above 700 nm at any operational voltage
