The performance of light-emittingelectrochemicalcells (LEC) is strongly influenced by the inhomogeneous distribution of the three main components (lightemitting polymer, ion conductive polymer and ionic molecules) in the device. We report on the local ion distribution of lithium and triflate ions in a blend of the ionic conducting polymer poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) and the conjugated polymer m-LPPP (methyl substituted poly (para phenylene)) by secondary ion mass spectroscopy(SIMS). In the system ITO/active layer/Al the ions are found to be located close to their counter electrodes. The behavior of these devices is investigated by impedance spectroscopy

Abstract
The performance of light-emittingelectrochemicalcells (LEC) is strongly influenced by the inhomogeneous distribution of the three main components (lightemitting polymer, ion conductive polymer and ionic molecules) in the device. We report on the local ion distribution of lithium and triflate ions in a blend of the ionic conducting polymer poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) and the conjugated polymer m-LPPP (methyl substituted poly (para phenylene)) by secondary ion mass spectroscopy(SIMS). In the system ITO/active layer/Al the ions are found to be located close to their counter electrodes. The behavior of these devices is investigated by impedance spectroscopyI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
