摘要：Near-infrared light-emitting electrochemical cell (NIR-LEEC) has emerged as a new and promising lighting sourcewhich could serve as low-cost alternatives in NIR light-emitting sources which are typically expensive. LECs were also shown advantages such as light weight, simplicity and low operation voltages. However, only a few examples of NIR-LEEC are reported in which external quantum efficiency(EQE) of devices limited to 0.1%. Here, we report, efficient NIR-LEEC based of two novel binuclear ruthenium phenanthroimidzole complex which differ by employing the type of ancillary ligand including 2, 2'bipyridine (bpy) (B1) and 4, 4' dimethyl bpy (B2) that realize maximum EQE of 0.14 and 0.68% and extremely long excited state lifetimes of 220 and 374 ns for thin film were estimated, respectively, indicating that influences of substitution on ancillary ligand. Moreover, this substitution dramatically influences other electroluminescence metrics including decreasing turn on voltage from 4.5 to 3.1 V, increasing maximum luminance (Lmax) from 193to 742 cd.m-2 and increasing lifetime from 539 to 1104 second, which are the best value among the binuclear ruthenium polypyridyl complexes to date.
