摘要
Characterization of the hole transport in blue-emitting polymers as poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) (PFO) is strongly hindered by their large ionization potential of similar to 6 eV. Using common anodes as poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(styrenesulphonic acid) leads to a strongly injection limited current. We demonstrate that molybdenum trioxide forms an Ohmic hole contact on PFO, enabling the observation of a space-charge-limited current(SCLC). This allows a direct determination of the hole mobility PFO of 1.3x10(-9) m(2)/V s at room temperature, in good agreement with previously reported mobility values determined by time-of-flight measurements.
