Abstract
Here, this study successfully fabricates few-layer MoS<sub>2</sub> nanosheets from (NH<sub>4</sub> )<sub>2</sub> MoS<sub>4</sub> and applies them as the hole transport layer as well as the template for highly polarized organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The obtained material consists of polycrystalline MoS<sub>2</sub> nanosheets with thicknesses of 2 nm. The MoS<sub>2</sub> nanosheets are patterned by rubbing/ion-beam treatment. The Raman spectra shows that {poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-alt-benzothiadiazole), poly[(9,9-di-n-octylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl)-alt-(benzo[2,1,3]thiadiazol-4,8-diyl)]} (F8BT) on patterned MoS<sub>2</sub> exhibits distinctive polarization behavior. It is discovered that patterned MoS<sub>2</sub> not only improves the device efficiency but also changes the polarization behavior of the devices owing to the alignment of F8BT. This work demonstrates a highly efficient polarized OLED with a polarization ratio of 62.5:1 in the emission spectrum (166.7:1 at the peak intensity of 540 nm), which meets the manufacturing requirement. In addition, the use of patterned MoS<sub>2</sub> nanosheets not only tunes the polarization of the OLEDs but also dramatically improves the device performance as compared with that of devices using untreated MoS<sub>2</sub> .
