Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Optoelectronic materials refer to compounds that go through changes in their chemical/physical properties under the effect of light/electricity. Based on optoelectronic materials, many optoelectronic devices are fabricated with various functions and are the cornerstones of electronics, playing an increasingly important role in the information age.

The Special Issue focuses on optoelectronic materials from design and synthesis to application in field-effect transistors, solar cells, light-emitting diodes, sensors, etc. The scope of the issue covers basic research on optoelectronic materials including synthesis, new properties, processing methods, advanced technologies, and theoretical research, as well as performance improvement and device optimization of the abovementioned devices.

An approach to increase the efficiency of europium-based OLEDs was proposed through the formation of a mixed-ligand complex. The design of a series of europium complexes, together with an optimization of the solution deposition, including the host selection, as well as the variation of the solvent and deposition parameters, resulted in a noticeable increase in OLED luminance. As a result, the maximum luminance of the Eu-based OLED reached up to 700 cd/m2, which is one of the highest values for an Eu-based solution-processed OLED. Finally, its stability was investigated.

Abstract

One-dimensional multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) have unique electrical properties, but they are not solution-processable, which severely limits their applications in microelectronic devices. Therefore, it is of great significance to improve the solubility of MWNTs and endow them with new functions by chemical modification. In this work, MWNTs were in situ functionalized with poly[(1,4-diethynyl-benzene)-alt-(3-hexylthiophene)] (PDHT) via Sonogashira–Hagihara polymerization. The obtained material PDHT-g-MWNTs was soluble in conventional organic solvents. By sandwiching a PDHT-g-MWNTs film between Al and ITO electrodes, the fabricated Al/PDHT-g-MWNTs/ITO electronic device exhibited nonvolatile rewritable memory behavior, with highly symmetrical turn-on/off voltages, a retention time of over 104 s, and durability for 200 switching cycles. These findings provide important insights into the development of carbon nanotube-based materials for information storage. Full article
