Textile One-Component Organic Electrochemical Sensor for Near-Body Applications.

The need for more efficient health services and the trend of a healthy lifestyle pushes the development of smart textiles. Since textiles have always been an object of everyday life, smart textiles promise an extensive user acceptance. Thereby, the manufacture of electrical components based on textile materials is of great interest for applications as biosensors.

Design and Realization of White Quantum Dot Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cell Hybrid Devices.

The simple device architecture as well as the solution-based processing makes light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) a promising device concept for large-area flexible lighting solutions. The lack of deep-blue emitters, which are, at the same time, efficient, bright, and long-term stable, complementary to the wide variety of yellow-orange-emitting LECs, hampers the creation of white LECs. We present a hybrid device concept for the realization of white light emission by combining blue colloidal quantum dots (QDs) and an Ir-based ionic transition-metal complex (iTMC) LEC in a new type of white QD-LEC hybrid device (QLEC).
