Abstract: We focus on the study of energy level structure of organic systems(taking AlQ3 for example) using two newly developed electrochemical methods(derivative voltammetry and coulomb-potential spectroscopy), and devote our attention to comparing the accuracy of these new methods with conventional methods. The experimental values of the HOMOand the LUMOpositions of AlQ3 and PVKare in good agreement with the results determined by the photoemission analysis. The experimental band gap values for AlQ3 and PVKobtained via two new methods are also in excellent agreement with the band gap values deduced by the optical absorption spectroscopy. The resulting organic/polymeric electroluminescent devices based on matching energy level of organic/polymeric system exhibit a high luminescent efficiency.

Key words: Electrochemical method, Energy band structrue, Band gap, Energy level of ELUMO and EHOMO
