In this study, we investigate organic-inorganic halide perovskite solar cells with a vacuum thermal evaporated hole transporting layer (NPB/MoO_3-x). By replacing solution process based Spiro-MeOTAD with vacuum thermal evaporation based NPB/MoO_3-x, a thin hole transporting layer was implemented. In addition, parasitic absorption that may occur during the doping process was eliminated by excluding solution process doping. In a solar cell with a thin vacuum thermal evaporated hole transporting layer, the short-circuit current density (Jsc) increased to 23.93 mA/cm², resulting in the highest power converstion efficiency (PCE) at 18.76%. Considering these results, it is essential to control the thickness of hole transporting layer located at the top in solar cell configuration.

We have demonstrated the characteristics on the variation of hole transporting layer in blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) using new blue fluorescent emitter. We fabricated two types of hole transporting layer structures that one is 4,4',4"-Tris(N-(2-naphthyl)-N-phenyl-amino)-triphenylamine (2-TNATA) of $600{\AA}$ as a hole injection layer, N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'- (2-napthyl)-(1,1'-phenyl)-4,4'-diamine (NPB) of $200{\AA}$ as a hole transporting layer and another device is NPB of $500{\AA}$ without the 2-TNATA. The devices without the 2-TNATA showed improved characteristic of the luminance and efficiency.

The effect of $\alpha$-septithiophene (${\alpha}-7T$) layers on the organic light emitting diode(OLED) was studied. The ${\alpha}-7T$ was used for a buffer layer in OLED. Hole injection was investigated and improved emission efficiency. The OLEDs structure can be described as indium tin oxide(ITO)/ buffer layer / hole transporting layer / emitting layer / electron transporting layer / LiF / Al. The hole transporting layer were composed of N,N-diphenyl-N,N-di(3-methylphenyl)-1,1-biphenyl-4,4-diamine(TPD), and N,N-di(naphthalene-1-ly)-N,N-diphenyl-benzidine( ${\alpha}$-NPD). The emitting layer, and electron transporting layer consist of tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato) aluminum($Alq_3$). All organic layer were deposited at a background pressure of less than $10^{-6}$ torr using ultra high vacuum (UHV) system. The ${\alpha}-7T$ layer can substitute the hole blocking layer, and improve hole injection properties.

In this paper, we describe a versatile use of fullerene(C60) as a charge transporting material for organic light-emitting diodes. The use of fullerene as a buffer layer for an anode, a doping material for hole transport layer, and an electron transport layer was investigated. Fullerene improved the hole injection from an anode to a hole transport layer by lowering the interfacial energy barrier and enhanced the lifetime of the device as a doping material for a hole transport layer. In addition, it was also effective as an electron transporting material to get low driving voltage in the device.

We have developed green phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with high quantum efficiency. Wide-energy-gap material, 1,1-bis[(di-4-tolylamino) phenyl]cyclohexane (TAPC), with high triplet energy level was used as a hole transporting layer. Electrophosphorescent devices fabricated using TAPC as a hole-transporting layer and N,N'-dicarbazolyl-4,4'-biphenyl (CBP) doped with fac-tris(2-phenylpyridine) iridium [Ir(ppy)3] as the emitting layer showed the maximum external quantum efficiency ($\eta_{ext}$) of 19.8 %, which is much higher than the devices adopting 4,4'-bis[N-(1-naphthyl)-N-phenyl-amino]biphenyl (NPB) (${\eta}B_{ext}=14.6%$) as a hole transporting layer.

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with the high efficieney and long lifetime are of growing interest in next-generation displays. Among the factors influencing OLEDs properties, one of unstable factor is $Alq_3$ cationic species caused by the excess holes resided in $Alq_3$ layer. Therefore, we suppressed the accumulation of excess holes by using the mixed-hole transporting layer (MHTL) of NPB and CBP in multilayer green OLEDs. The devices with MHTL showed improved characteristics in the luminous efficiency and lifetime. More characteristics and the carrier transport mechanism will be discussed.

본 연구에서는 Hole Transporting Layer(HTL)와 Electron Transporting Layer(ETL)의 두께에 의한 특성을 비교해보기 위해서 각각 0, 10, 20 nm로 HTL, ETL 두께를 달리한 형광 OLED소자를 제작하였다. ETL의 두께가 얇아질수록 $V_{TH}$ 값은 2.5V에서 0.9 V로 낮게 나타났고 소자의 전체 두께와 on voltage는 비례한다는 특성을 발견할 수 있었다. HTL과 ETL이 두꺼울수록 각 layer에서 carrier들의 이동에 delay가 생기고 emission layer에서 표면까지 거리가 생기기 때문이다. ETL의 두께가 두꺼울수록 높은 luminance 값을 나타내는 차이를 보여주고 있다. Hole에 비해 이동도가 작은 electron은 emission layer까지 늦게 전달되어, EML내에서 비교적 cathode쪽에 가까운 곳에서 exciton이 형성되기 때문이다. CE에도 더 두꺼운 ETL을 가진 소자가 더 높은 CE값 가짐을 확인할 수 있다. 모든 소자가 $200mA/cm^2$에서 가장 높은 CE값을 나타낸 이유는 $200mA/cm^2$에서 electron-hole 결합이 만들어내는 exciton형성이 가장 많기 때문이다. PE, QE도 ETL 두께가 두꺼울수록 특성을 향상이다. 결론적으로 ETL의 두꺼울수록 current density값이 감소함을 보이고 있는 반면 turn on voltage, luminance, efficiency 증가함을 볼 수 있다.

In perovskite solar cells with planar heterojunction configuration, selection of proper charge-transporting layers is very important to achieve stable and efficient device. Here, we developed solution processible Cu doped NiO_x (Cu:NiO_x) thin film as a hole-transporting layer (HTL) in p-i-n structured methylammonium lead trihalide (MAPbI₃) perovskite solar cell. The transmittance and thickness of NiO_x HTL is optimized by control the spin-coating rate and Cu is additionally doped to improve the surface morphology of undoped NiO_x thin film and hole-extraction properties. Consequently, a perovskite solar cell containing Cu:NiO_x HTL with optimal doping ratio of Cu exhibits a power conversion efficiency of 14.6%.

The PEDOT:PSS layer is usually used as hole transporting layer for the polymer bulk heterojunction solar cells. However, the interface between ITO and PEDOT:PSS is not stable and the chemical reaction between ITO and PEDOT can result in degraded device performance. We used the tungsten oxides as a hole transport layer by spin-coating. The $WO_3$ nanoparticles were well dispersed in ammonium hydroxide and deionized water and formed thin layer on the ITO anode. We found that $WO_3$ surface is more hydrophobic than the bare ITO or PEDOT:PSS-coated surfaces. The hydrophobic surfaces promote an ordered growth of P3HT films. A higher degree of P3HT ordering is expected to improve the hole mobility and the lifetime of the device using the tungsten oxide showed better stability compared to the device using the PEDOT:PSS.
