Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) organic emitters play a crucial role in organic light-emitting diode (OLED) research by utilizing triplet excitons to achieve 100% internal quantum efficiency. For blue TADF OLEDs, host materials are designed with high triplet energy (ET) to maintain charge balance within the emissive layer and ensure device stability through thermal and electrochemical stability. Developing rational molecular design strategies is essential for charge transport properties and device stability.
In this study, we synthesized p-type host materials by incorporating bulky adamantane into 9-phenyl-9H-3,9'-bicarbazole. The synthesized hosts demonstrated improved thermal stability and high ET. We observed differences in device performance and reproducibility depending on the number of adamantane units. Device thermal and long-term stability improvements were observed, indicating significant contributions to high-reliability OLED development in the future.
