Pure Hydrocarbon Hosts Enabling Efficient Multi-Resonance TADF Blue-Emitting Organic Light-Emitting Diodes.

Pure hydrocarbon (PHC) materials are a class of highly efficient and stable host materials for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), composed solely of carbon and hydrogen atoms. Despite recent great advancements in PHC research, their applications are still mainly limited to phosphorescent OLEDs (PHOLEDs). Thus, expanding PHC materials into other types of OLEDs is critical for advancing organic electronics.

Intelligent high-tech coating of natural biopolymer layers.

Polymeric materials play a vital role in our daily life, but the growing concern for the environment demands economical and natural biopolymers that can be cross-linked to create technologically innovative lightweight materials. Their cellular matrix with extreme flexibility makes them highly acceptable for application prospects in material science, engineering, and biomedical applications. Furthermore, their biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and structural diversity provide a gateway to research them to form technologically important materials.
