Thd contribution of electrochemistry method to the research of the electroluminescence cell has been discussed in this paper. In the electroluminescence cell electrons coming from metal electrode (such as Al
Mg) inject into the lowest unoccupied orbital (LUMO) and radioactively recombine with holes to generate electroluminescence. The energy transport can be calculated by electro chemistry method in the theory. The energy of LUMO and HOMO is corresponded to the potential of cathodic current peak and anodic current peak in the voltammogram chart
respectively.But the experiment results indicated that it is difficult to calculate the band-gap energy accurately using electrochemistry method from
I-V
voltammogram chart
because the electrode process in teh interface between the electrode and the solution is so complicated that much polar potential
such as double electronic layer polarization
concentration polarization need to be considered.In fact the
I-V
voltammogram still give us many useful massages to explain the EL behaviors.The electrodic potentials in a redox reaction in dicate the attention ability for accepting or losing electrons in a electrochemistry reaction.A bigger
I-V
area in the voltammogram will show a bigger charge or discharge quantity as a electron accepter or a electron donor.It is easy to find out most of organic polymers possessing conjugated double bonds appear a reversible redox characteristics such as polythiophene and 3 methyl poly thiophene. Ultra violet spectrograph and voltammograms of organic luminescent material
Alq
BBOT and PBD have been investigated in this paper.Results of
I-V
cyclic voltammograms indicated Alq
BBOT and PBD apperas unreversible electrochemistry process with a big cathodic current peak
the cathodic reduction potential of PBD is more negative than that of Alq.Both of results of UV and voltammograms are in a good agreement with the electroluminescence behaviors.
