In 2019,Chemistry – A European Journal included an article by Chen, Desui; Li, Yifei; Dai, Xingliang; Du, Hui; Lin, Jian; Jin, Yizheng. Electric Literature of C10H16CuO4. The article was titled 《Synthesis of Highly Monodisperse Cu2O Nanocrystals and Their Applications as Hole-Transporting Layers in Solution-Processed Light-Emitting Diodes》. The information in the text is summarized as follows:
The synthesis of phase-pure, narrow-size-distributed and highly stable Cu2O nanocrystals is reported, which can be processed as hole-transporting layers (HTLs) in solution-processed optoelectronic devices. The synthesis is based on a thermal decomposition process with a ligand protection strategy. The reactivity of precursor can be tuned by simply modulating the concentration of oleylamine in non-coordinated solvent, resulting in effectively controlling the size and size distribution of Cu2O nanocrystals. Combined with ligand protection strategy of using lithium stearate and moderate reaction temperature of 170 °C, in situ aggregation of Cu2O nanocrystals could be inhibited, exhibiting excellent stability in hexane for several months. The resulting phase-pure colloidal Cu2O particles (after ozone-treatment) were applied as HTLs in polymer light-emitting diodes, the performance of which are comparable to that of the poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) based devices. In the part of experimental materials, we found many familiar compounds, such as Bis(acetylacetone)copper(cas: 13395-16-9Electric Literature of C10H16CuO4)
Bis(acetylacetone)copper(cas: 13395-16-9) is used as PVC stabilizer, and curing agents for epoxy resins, acrylic adhesives and silicone rubbers. It is also used as solvents, lubricant additives, paint drier, and pesticides.Electric Literature of C10H16CuO4
