Lanthanide complexes attract significant attention for their narrow-band emission with nearly constant wavelengths; however, developing high-efficiency lanthanide-complex organic light-emitting diode (OLED) devices and methodologies remains a primary research focus. We selected neutral ligands [1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-f][1,10]phenanthroline (TDZP) and its selenium (Se)-containing counterpart, [1,2,5]selenadiazolo[3,4-f][1,10]phenanthroline (SDZP), to form complexes with dibenzoylmethane (Hdbm). Detailed investigations combining theoretical calculations and experimental data reveal synergistic effects between excited-state lifetimes and charge carrier mobility in enhancing quantum efficiency. All the devices demonstrated characteristic lanthanide ion emission, with the Eu(dbm)3SDZP-based OLED achieving remarkable electroluminescent performance: a maximum quantum efficiency (EQEmax) of 6.7 %, ranking among the highest reported values for Eu-based complex OLEDs. This integrated computational-experimental approach establishes a viable strategy for developing high-efficiency lanthanide-complex OLEDs.
