 We are particularly interested in the following topics of organic electronics:

• Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence (TADF) Emitters

TADF emitters are a class of pure organic light-emitting materials that enhance the efficiency of devices like organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). TADF emitters have a small energy gap (ΔEST) between their lowest singlet (S1) and triplet (T1) excited states. This small gap allows for a process called Reverse Intersystem Crossing (RISC), where triplet excitons, normally unable to emit light directly, can be converted back to the emissive singlet state by absorbing a small amount of thermal energy from their surroundings.

• Organic Mixed Ionic-Electronic Conductors (OMIECs)

Organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors (OMIECs) are a class of organic materials that can conduct both ions and electrons simultaneously (e.g. PEDOT:PSS). OMIECs hold promise in a diverse range of applications, including bioelectronics, sensors, neural interfaces, and neuromorphic devices. [more details...]
