Stanford researchers have developed a high efficiency OLED device by nanopatterning the electrode layer to create a high impedance metasurface (HIM) that reduces 'plasmonic' losses. A typical metal cathode traps a large portion of generated light in an OLED.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a simpler and low-cost micro-cavity design for color tuning of organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) for display applications. A micro-cavity is an essential part of OLED display for high color purity.
Stanford University and Samsung researchers have patented a microfluidic-based platform that can rapidly fabricate and characterize Organic Thin Film Transistor (OTFT) arrays composed of solution-processable organic semiconducting polymers.
Stanford researchers successfully purified highly enriched semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) free of any dispersing agent via an easy, fast and scalable method.
Stanford researchers have developed a simple and effective method to sort semiconducting from metallic single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT). This scalable technique uses semiconducting polymers to wrap around individual semiconducting SWNTs dispersed in a solution.
Stanford researchers have developed a versatile molecular engineering approach, via random copolymerization, to gain good processability while maintaining high charge transport and photovoltaic performance for conjugated copolymers.
Stanford researchers are using nanowires (NWs) to raise the performance of organic solar cells. Organic solar cells' main weakness is their lack of efficiency compared to in-organic solar cells.
Researchers in Prof. Zhenan Bao's lab at Stanford have developed a series of imidazole derivatives for solution processed, n-type doped organic electronic devices.
