Abstract
Spectroelectrochemical study on a new absorption band of radical cations of 4,4’-bis[N-(1-naphthyl)-N-phenyl-amino]-biphenyl (α-NPD) as an electron-donor hole-transporting material used in organic electronics is reported in this work. UV-visible spectroscopic and cyclic voltammetric properties for α-NPD in solution are also examined. We find that the results are attributed to quenching process for blue fluorescence from α-NPD by excess α-NPD+ radical cations accumulated in the emission region in the organic light-emitting devices related to a relatively large overlap between the fluorescence spectrum of α-NPD and the absorption spectrum of α-NPD+ radical cations. The band gap energy for α-NPD is calculated from the UV-visible spectroscopic data.
