Abstract: Impedance spectroscopy has been increasingly employed in quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) to investigate the charge dynamics and device physics. In this review, we introduce the mathematical basics of impedance spectroscopy that applied to QLEDs. In particular, we focus on the Nyquist plot, Mott−Schottky analysis, capacitance-frequency and capacitance-voltage characteristics, and the dC/dV measurement of the QLEDs. These impedance measurements can provide critical information on electrical parameters such as equivalent circuit models, characteristic time constants, charge injection and recombination points, and trap distribution of the QLEDs. However, this paper will also discuss the disadvantages and limitations of these measurements. Fundamentally, this review provides a deeper understanding of the device physics of QLEDs through the application of impedance spectroscopy, offering valuable insights into the analysis of performance loss and degradation mechanisms of QLEDs.

Table 1.   The applications and limitations of the impedance measurement.

Application Limitation
Nyquist plot Charging time constant, equivalent circuit model. Many equivalent circuit models correspond to one Nyquist plot, so the physical meaning of each circuit element should be clear.
C−f characteristic The characteristic time constant for charge accumulation and recombination; trap distribution. The capacitance rise is only contributed to the carrier trapping for the defect spectroscopy.
C−V characteristic Charge injection point, charge injection and recombination rate. The frequency is required to satisfy the charge response to the alternating signal.
dC/dV−V characteristic The characteristic voltage at maximum EQE, Supplementary information to C−V characteristics
Mott−Schottky analysis (1/C2−V characteristic) Doping density, built-in voltage Depletion approximation must be satisfied in a device.
