Background: Non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) is the most prevalent gastroesophageal reflux disease. Currently, proton pump inhibitors are the most commonly used treatment for NERD. Recently, the demand for herbal medicines with relatively few side effects is increasing and trials confirming the effectiveness and safety of herbal medicines for the treatment of NERD have been conducted.

However, previously developed cross-linkable HTMs possessed poor hole transport properties, high cross-linking temperatures, and long curing times. To achieve efficient cross-linkable HTMs with high mobility, low cross-linking temperature, and short curing time, we designed and synthesized a series of low-temperature cross-linkable HTMs comprising dibenzofuran (DBF) and 4-divinyltriphenylamine (TPA) segments for highly efficient solution-processed QLEDs and OLEDs.

Since the Grätzel group used the organic radical 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO) as the redox system in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) in 2008, TEMPO has been utilized as an electrolyte to further improve power conversion efficiency (PCE) of solar cells. Hence, the TEMPO with high catalyst oxidant characteristics was developed as a hybrid solid-state electrolyte having high conductivity and stability structure by being integrated with a lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (Li-TFSI) film for FDSSCs.
