Resumo

In this paper, it is demonstrated that copper selenide (Cu2-XSe) films onto polyester sheets may serve as transparent electrodes in inorganic-organic hybrid light emission devices (IOHLED), as possible replacement to indium tin oxide or fluorine-doped tin oxide. The Cu2-XSe film synthesized via bath chemical deposition is electrically stable with a sheet resistance of 148 omega sq(-1) and optical bandgap of 2.3 eV. IOHLED are made with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) as an organic layer for hole transport and poly[2-metoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV) as electroluminescent semiconductor. The IOHLED emits in the visible range owing to the simultaneous emission from Cu2-XSe and MEH-PPV layers. The enhanced performance is explained by analyzing the charge transport mechanisms at the inorganic-organic interface, which for Cu2-XSe/PEDOT:PSS changes from Fowler-Nordheim to direct tunneling regardless of the device temperature (90-370 K). The onset voltage is 75% smaller than in the absence of the PEDOT:PSS layer due to a 27 meV decrease in the potential barrier, and the direct tunneling becomes more relevant to device performance than the sheet resistance of the Cu2-XSe layer. Upon adding transparency, mechanical flexibility, and covering large areas, the ultrathin Cu2-XSe films on polyester substrates permit new designs for electro-optical devices with inorganic-organic heterojunctions.
