Water/alcohol soluble conjugated polymers (WSCPs), which can be processed from water/alcohol and other polar solvents, are suitable for the solution processing of multi-layer organic electronic devices. By using a thin layer WSCP as cathode interfacial material, resulting polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) solar cells (PSCs) exhibited significant enhancements in their device performances. In this Feature Article, authors aim to introduce brief review recent developments applications WSCPs highly efficient PLEDs PSCs.
