Abstract

A flexible organic light-emitting device (OLED) was produced using copper nanowire (CuNW) film as anode and Graphene oxide (GO)/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) film as anode buffer layer. Compared with other transparent conductive films (TCFs), CuNWs are low cost, easy to fabricate, and compatible with flexible substrates over a large area. Due to these advantages, CuNWs are showing greater and greater promise for the next generation of TCF. Modified by PEDOT:PSS, the conductivity and work function of the CuNW film can be dramatically enhanced. However, PEDOT:PSS is highly acidic and easy to corrode the CuNW film, which will reduce maximum luminous brightness and current efficiency of the OLED. In this paper, GO/PEDOT:PSS was used as anode buffer layer to modify the CuNW anode and the composite transparent electrode exhibited excellent optoelectrical properties. The driving voltage of the OLED with CuNW/PEDOT:PSS is 6.2V, and the maximum luminous brightness is 2737.2cd/m². The driving voltage of the OLED with CuNW/GO/PEDOT:PSS anode was reduced to 5.1V, and the maximum luminous brightness was improved to 3007.4cd/m².
