Summary: Three new anthracene-based emitters were developed for deep blue OLEDs, demonstrating highly twisted molecular configurations that lead to deep-blue light emission by restricting pi-conjugation extension. The molecular packing manner may influence photoluminescence quantum yields in solid state and the singlet exciton harvested by triplet-triplet annihilation process. A nondoped device using DPF-AnCN as emitter achieved an external quantum efficiency of 7.1% with insignificant efficiency roll-off, approaching standard blue index.

Summary: Metal ferrite oxides (MFe2O4) and iron oxide (Fe2O3) were investigated as unassisted operation for solar light harvesting photoelectrochemical cell (PEC). Different metal ferrite oxides, such as CuFe2O4, NiFe2O4, and ZnFe2O4, were synthesized using electrochemical deposition method. The crystal structure, surface morphology, and chemical composition of Fe2O3 and metal ferrite oxides were characterized using various techniques. CuFe2O4 showed p-type semiconductor characteristic, while Fe2O3, NiFe2O4, and ZnFe2O4 exhibited n-type semiconductor characteristic. Therefore, the coupling between n-type and p-type semiconductors can form PEC without external bias. CuFe2O4 was set as the photocathode, and the others were set as the photoanode. Both parallel and tandem configurations were explored. All materials can be used as unbiased PEC, and the best performance was observed with Fe2O3 coupled with CuFe2O4. The maximum photocurrent of Fe2O3-CuFe2O4 tandem PEC was around 6 mu A/cm(2) under parallel illumination conditions.

Summary: Polyacrylic acid complexed with polyaniline (PAA/PANI) composite materials have the potential to form organic mixed ion-electron conductive (OMIEC) films, which can be used in optoelectronic and energy storage applications. The composite films are formed through an acid-base reaction, resulting in strong electrostatic interactions and intermolecular hydrogen bonds between PANI and PAA. The separation of PANI-rich domains from PAA-rich matrix in the composite films is observed. The electrical conductivity of the composite films is higher when the content of PANI is 33 wt%, due to the high ionic-electronic coupling at the interface between phase-separated regions.
