Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology have played a pivotal role in driving the continuous development of optoelectronic technologies, which include organic optoelectronic applications. Due to the superior optical, electrical, and optoelectrical properties, an increasing amount of scholarly research has been undertaken on optoelectronic nanomaterials and their applications. Recently, new organic optoelectronic materials and devices have been rapidly developed for practical applications, including organic solar cells, photodetectors, light-emitting devices (LEDs), phototransistors, etc.

This Special Issue will present current research in organic optoelectronic nanomaterials and devices, from the theory, design, synthesis, and characterization of novel organic nanomaterials, as well as the performance, characterization, and application of nanodevices in chemistry, physics, and engineering.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Synthesis and preparation of organic nanomaterials;
  • Optical, electrical, and optoelectrical properties of organic nanomaterials;
  • Applications of optoelectronic nanomaterials and devices such as solar cells, detectors, LEDs, sensors etc.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Organic disordered semiconductors have a growing importance because of their low cost, mechanical flexibility, and multiple applications in thermoelectric devices, biosensors, and optoelectronic devices. Carrier transport consists of variable-range hopping between localized quantum states, which are disordered in both space and energy within the Gaussian disorder model. In this paper, we model an organic disordered semiconductor system as a network embedded in both space and energy so that a node represents a localized state while a link encodes the probability (or, equivalently, the Miller–Abrahams hopping rate) for carriers to hop between nodes. The associated network Laplacian matrix allows for the study of carrier dynamics using edge-centric random walks, in which links are activated by the corresponding carrier hopping rates. Our simulation work suggests that at room temperature the network exhibits a strong propensity for small-network nature, a beneficial property that in network science is related to the ease of exchanging information, particles, or energy in many different systems. However, this is not the case at low temperature. Our analysis suggests that there could be a parallelism between the well-known dependence of carrier mobility on temperature and the potential emergence of the small-world property with increasing temperature.

In this work, we proposed an efficient and straightforward up-conversion process to enhance the external quantum efficiency in a red-emission organic light-emitting diode (OLED). The carbon quantum dots in the luminescent materials initiated the up-conversion by doping the (6,6)-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) in an amount of 0.001 wt. %, and the external quantum efficiency (EQE) increased from approximately 80% to 9.27% without spectrum change. The time-resolved photoluminescence was applied to understand the mechanism of EQE enhancement in the PCBM-doped OLED. Two decay-time constants fit the TRPL. After PCBM doping, the extended PL intensity indicated increased time constants. The time constants increased from 1.06 and 4.02 ns of the reference sample to 3.48 and 11.29 ns of the PCBM-doped material, respectively. The nonradiative energy transfer (NRET) mechanism was proposed responsible for the decay-time enhancement. The excitons in the PCBM, either by excitation or injection, will transfer to the phosphorescent material nonradiatively. As the PCBM has lower energy levels than the luminous material for electrons, the backward exciton transfer is a kind of up-conversion. With the increased amounts of excitons in the luminescent material, the luminescent external quantum efficiency and the decay-time increased. This up-conversion method is not limited to the red-emission OLED; it could also be applied to blue or green emission. Full article
