We have investigated the effect of poly-TPD molecular weight (Mw) on the characteristics of CdSe/ZnS quantum-dot light-emitting devices (QD-LEDs). The poly-TPDs with Mw = 24000 and 84000 were used for hole-transporting layer. The Mw = 24000 poly-TPD layer was seriously dissolved by toluene which was used for the dispersion of QDs, resulting in substantial thickness reduction during the spin-coating of QD layer. The emission, external quantum efficiency, and driving characteristics of the QD-LEDs were investigated. A maximum external quantum efficiency of 2.1% was obtained in the QD-LED with Mw = 84000 poly-TPD layer.

We designed and synthesized a new indolocarbazole-based polymer, poly(N,N-diphenyl(5,11-dihexylindolo[3,2,1-jk]carbazol-2-yl)amine) (PICA), for solution-processed organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy levels of this polymer, -5.25 and -2.

A new small-molecular thermally cross-linkable material {[4-(9-phenyl-9-carbazol-4-yl)phenyl]-bis-(4'-vinylbiphenyl-4-yl)-amine} (PCP-bis-VBPA, PbV) containing the styrene moiety was synthesized for hole transport layers in wet processed organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). It was found that PbV exhibited relatively high glass temperatures above 154 °C and a triplet energy () greater than 2.81 eV.

The well-known system of dinuclear Cu(I) complexes bridged by 2-(diphenylphosphino)pyridine (PyrPhos) derivatives CuXL and CuXLP (L = bridging ligand, P = ancillary ligand) goes along with endless variation options for tunability. In this work, the influence of substituents and modifications on the phosphine moiety of the NP-bridging ligand was investigated. In previous studies, the location of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the copper complexes of the PyrPhos family was found to be located on the NP-bridging ligand and enabled color tuning in the whole visible spectrum.

Photovoltaic devices that switch color depending on illumination conditions may find application in future smart window applications. Here a photochromic diarylethene molecule is used as sensitizer in a ternary bulk heterojunction blend, employing poly(4-butylphenyldiphenylamine) (poly-TPD) and [6,6]-phenyl-C-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) for the transport of holes and electrons, respectively. Sandwiched between two electrodes, the blend creates a photochromic photovoltaic device that changes color, light absorption, and photon-to-electron conversion efficiency in the visible spectral range after having been illuminated with UV light.

Highly efficient perovskite solar cells (PSCs) fabricated in the classic n-i-p configuration generally employ triphenylamine-based hole-transport layers (HTLs) such as spiro-OMeTAD, PTAA, and poly-TPD. Controllable doping of such layers has been critical to achieve increased conductivity and high device performance. To this end, LiTFSI/tBP doping and subsequent air exposure is widely utilized.
