Embodiments of the invention relate to a composite film and a fabrication method thereof, a photoelectric element and a photoelectric apparatus. The fabrication method of the composite film includes: preparing a polyfluorene-based compound solution, wherein the polyfluorene-based compound solution includes polyfluorene or polyfluorene derivatives; preparing a quantum dot solution; mixing the polyfluorene-based compound solution and the quantum dot solution together to prepare a mixed solution; removing a solvent in the mixed solution to prepare the composite film.

The organic semiconductor polymers relates to the synthesis of a carbazole-based ladder polymer. The synthesis of the ladder polymer includes forming a precursor conjugated polymer by Suzuki step growth polymerization of 2,7-dibromocarbazole with 1,4-dibromo-2,5-divinylbenzene, followed by end capping with 2-bromostyrene and 2-vinyl-phenylboronic acid. Then, the pendent vinyl groups are closed by ring-closing olefin metathesis to obtain the ladder polymer.

This application discloses a white-light hyperbranched conjugated polymer, a method for preparing the same and its use. The polymer uses a red phosphorescent Ir(III) complex as a core and polyfluorene derivative blue fluorescent materials as a framework which either contains or does not contain carbazole derivatives, and the white light hyperbranched polymers realize white-light emission by adjusting the content of the red phosphorescent Ir(III) complex connected using the complementation of blue and red color. The electroluminescent spectrum of the conjugated polymer in the present application covers the whole visible light emission area and is close to the pure white light emission, by which the conjugated polymer could be used as a material used in light-emitting layer to prepare the organic electroluminescent devices.
