Thermally activated delayed fluorescence materials exhibited outstanding external quantum efficiencies in OLEDs along with good CIE color coordinates and improved device stabilities. Hence these are most promising for commercialization of OLEDs.
Despite the high performance of OLEDs consisting host–guest blend systems in emissive layer, containing a single molecule as an emitter layer (<italic>i.e.</italic> non-doped OLEDs) have significant advantages including easy fabrication procedures and enhanced device stability.
A facile approach to make an efficient hybrid bulk heterojunction photovoltaic device with lead sulfide nanocrystals and a low-bandgap polymer is demonstarted, resulting in power conversion efficiency of about 2–3%.
Anthracene-based conjugated molecules are synthesized and J-aggregations clearly observed in a single-crystal structure study. Single-crystal-based field-effect transistors (FETs) exhibit high mobility. They displayed dramatic photoinduced enhancement of the drain current showed unusually photoresponsivity under extremely low intensity light. Due to excitons, single multiple-stage memory operations achieved.

Recently, all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) have made significant progress in terms of efficiency and performance. Using Y-series-based small-molecule acceptors, a new range polymer acceptors for all-PSC has been developed. These synthesized low band gap, broad absorption, easily tunable energy levels, making them suitable n-type candidates efficient all-PSCs.
