Optoelectronic Materials

Overview

Optoelectronic materials display a strong interplay between their optical and electronic properties. They can either emit light when electricity flows through (electroluminescence), generate electricity when exposed to light (photovoltaic effect), convert light into an electrical signal (photodetectors), or facilitate the movement of electrons or holes under an electric field (charge transport).  Organic materials are increasingly popular in optoelectronic applications due to their low cost, lightweightness, flexibility, tunability, and ease of processability (inkjet printing, roll-to-roll), thereby revolutionizing flexible electronics. They're commonly used in devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic solar cells (OSCs), organic photodetectors (OPDs), and organic field effect transistors (OFETs). The key features of organic optoelectronic materials, such as biocompatibility and tunable optical/electrical properties achieved through chemical synthesis, along with mechanical flexibility, make them a suitable potential candidate in wearable and medical devices. We in the organic chemistry division mainly develop optically and electronically active organic molecules and polymers, exploring these materials for OLED, OFET, and OSC applications.
