Emergence of white organic light-emitting diodes based on thermally activated delayed fluorescence by Xiao, Peng, Dong, Ting, Xie, Jianing, Luo, Dongxiang, Yuan, Jian, Liu, Baiquan

“…Recently, thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have attracted both academic and industrial interest due to their extraordinary characteristics, such as high efficiency, low driving voltage, bright luminance, lower power consumption and potentially long lifetime. In this invited review, the fundamental concepts of TADF have been firstly introduced. …”

In Situ Formation of Decavanadate-Intercalated Layered Double Hydroxide Films on AA2024 and their Anti-Corrosive Properties when Combined with Hybrid Sol Gel Films by Wu, Junsheng, Peng, Dongdong, He, Yuntao, Du, Xiaoqiong, Zhang, Zhan, Zhang, Bowei, Li, Xiaogang, Huang, Yizhong

“…The anticorrosion results revealed that the LDH-VS film had better corrosion-resistant properties than the LDH-S film, especially long-term corrosion resistance. The mechanism of corrosion protection was proposed to consist of the self-healing effect of the decavanadate intercalation and the shielding effect of the sol-gel film.…”

Dye-sensitized solar cells : fundamentals and current status by Sharma, Khushboo, Sharma, Vinay, Sharma, S. S.

“…Still, there is lot of scope for the replacement of current DSSC materials due to their high cost, less abundance, and long-term stability. The efficiency of existing DSSCs reaches up to 12%, using Ru(II) dyes by optimizing material and structural properties which is still less than the efficiency offered by first- and second-generation solar cells, i.e., other thin-film solar cells and Si-based solar cells which offer ~ 20–30% efficiency. …”
