BUSAN, South Korea, March 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Solution-processed organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are more economical compared to conventional OLEDs. However, their lifetime and efficiency are limited by the difficulty of stacking the composite layers in the OLED, preventing large-scale commercialization of solution-processed OLEDs. To this end, researchers have now developed a novel thermally cross-linkable poly(iminoarylene), a solvent-resistant hole injection layer material with excellent film-forming properties, optimum energy level and high mobility, a major stepping stone toward commercial viability of solution-processed OLEDs.

Key Points: 
  • To this end, researchers have now developed a novel thermally cross-linkable poly(iminoarylene), a solvent-resistant hole injection layer material with excellent film-forming properties, optimum energy level and high mobility, a major stepping stone toward commercial viability of solution-processed OLEDs.
  • However, solution-processed OLEDs have limited efficiency and lifetime owing to the difficulty of stacking the constituent layers such as the anode, cathode, hole injection layer (HIL), hole transport layer (HTL), etc.
  • Moreover, the researchers demonstrated that the HIL material has high mobility and excellent film-forming properties that are crucial for the commercial viability of solution-processed OLEDs.
  • "Remarkably, the researchers achieved a greater efficiency and lifetime with this novel HIL material, compared to (PEDOT:PSS), the most widely used hole injection layer material, in terms of efficiency and lifetime," notes Prof. Hwang.

Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology Researchers Develop a Novel Thermoelectric Generator Inspired from Zebra Skin

GWANGJU, South Korea, March 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Thermoelectric generators (TEG) are devices that can convert temperature gradients to electricity. Such devices are extremely useful for generating electricity for remote sensors that cannot be connected to the main electricity grid. A conventional TEG is composed of one side(top or bottom) that radiates heat to cool down and the other side that absorbs heat from the sun or the environment. This, in turn, generates out-of-plane temperature gradient, which is converted into electricity. However, such requirements often make for designs that are bulky, complex, and inefficient. This, in turn, makes TEGs hard to integrate with other components or systems, limiting their applications in renewable energy systems.

Key Points: 
  • Such devices are extremely useful for generating electricity for remote sensors that cannot be connected to the main electricity grid.
  • This, in turn, makes TEGs hard to integrate with other components or systems, limiting their applications in renewable energy systems.
  • In a new study, the researchers, led by Professor Young Min Song from Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), reported a new flexible, lightweight, and biodegradable TEG that gets its inspiration from an unlikely place – zebra skin.
  • Essentially, the design uses a pattern resembling black-and-white zebra stripes to create a high in-plane temperature gradient for generating electricity.
