Artificial intelligence (AI) is profoundly reshaping the discovery and design of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) materials, shifting conventional intuition-driven development into an integrated, data-driven paradigm. The increasing demand for high-performance OLED emitters with ultra-narrow emission spectrum and enhanced operational stability has highlighted the urgent need for a dedicated, multi-scale computational framework tailored to OLED-specific challenges. This review proposes a systematic AI-driven framework that combines quantum chemistry calculations, property prediction models, and generative algorithms to enable high-throughput screening and inverse design workflows for organic luminescent materials.

In this study, we utilize the phase separation phenomenon between polycarbonate (PC), poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), and polystyrene (PS) to fabricate two types of micro-nano structures, PC:PS, and PVDF:PS. We investigate the optimization mechanisms of two micro-nano structures in green phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) by using electroluminescence (EL), normalized viewing angle ratio tests, and finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. The results confirm that improvements in both the viewing angle ratio and light extraction efficiency are due to the optimized internal light field distribution.

Current nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems for tumor therapy face significant challenges in intratumoral penetration and cellular internalization, leading to poor therapeutic efficacy. Herein, it is demonstrated that the sequential integration of glucose oxidase (GOx), catalase (CAT), and urease (URE) onto the half surface of biotin-modified Janus nanoparticles via the chemical coupling way produces nanorobots of multifunctionality and synergistic effect (denoted as UCGPJNRs). They can autonomously and powerfully move in tumor microenvironment (TME) by using endogenous urea as a fuel, enabling to penetrate deeper than 0.

Biological enzyme-functionalized antibacterial nanoparticles, which can degrade biofilm and kill bacteria under mild reaction conditions, have attracted much attention for the elimination of deep-seated bacterial infections. However, the poor diffusion and penetration capabilities of recently developed biological enzyme-functionalized antibacterial nanoparticles in biofilm severely impair the eradication efficacy of deep-seated bacteria. Herein, a photothermal-driven nanomotor (denoted as APPNM) is developed for enhancing the elimination of drug-resistant biofilms and the eradication of deep-seated bacteria.

Quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) mixed-halide perovskites are a requisite for their applications in highly efficient blue perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) owing to their strong quantum confinement effect and high exciton binding energy. The pace of quasi-2D blue PeLEDs is hindered primarily by two factors: challenges in precisely managing the phase distribution and defect-mediated nonradiative recombination losses. Herein, we utilize 2,2-diphenylethylamine (DPEA) with bulky steric hindrance to disturb the assembly process of a slender spacer host cation, 4-fluorophenylethylammonium (-F-PEA), enhancing phase distribution management in quasi-2D PeLEDs.

This work explores the carrier recombination dynamics of AC-driven quantum dot (QD) light-emitting diodes (AC-QLEDs) and proposes their application in the field of electric field contactless detection. Different sequences of green QD (GQD)/red QD (RQD) bilayer thin films as the emission layer of AC-QLEDs were fabricated via film transfer printing to ensure the complete morphology of each layer. AC-QLEDs with the emission layer as the sequence of GQD + RQD (GR-QLEDs) show a significantly enhanced carrier recombination efficiency due to its stable energy level structure, achieving the highest peak brightness ever recorded for vertically emitting brightness of 1648.

Methods: This post hoc analysis was performed for patients with no CSBMs in ≥6 of the first 12 weeks of treatment (no-CSBM subgroup).

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the electroluminescence of Cd-based quantum dot devices, noting their high efficiency and long operating life but highlighting a lack of understanding of charge carrier mechanisms.
  • Researchers built and tested a simple device, discovering that both luminance-voltage and luminance-frequency characteristics fluctuated with changes in insulating layer thickness; they initially increased, then decreased with rising voltage or frequency.
  • The findings revealed that increasing AC voltage advanced the peak luminance in the cycle, while higher AC frequencies delayed it, indicating complex interactions that could inform future developments in improving brightness and device longevity.

Dual-band photodetectors (PDs) have attracted extensive research attention due to their great potential for diverse and refreshing application scenarios in full-color imaging, optical communication, and imaging detection. Here, a self-driven dual-band PD without filters and other auxiliary equipment to achieve a narrowband response in Mode 1 and a broadband response in Mode 2 was designed based on carrier-selective transmission narrowing (CSTN). The polymer material poly[bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine] (PTAA), which has the appropriate energy level, was selected to be the carrier-selective transmission layer.

Quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) perovskites exhibit excellent performance in light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, the quality of perovskite films prepared the solution method is significantly impacted by the enormous number of defects that unavoidably form at the grain boundaries and interfaces during the precursor to the crystal formation process. Here, we propose a strategy to assist perovskite crystallization and defect passivation at the buried interface through interfacial modification.

Lead halide perovskites (LHPs) are emerging semiconductor materials for light-emitting diodes (LEDs) owing to their unique structure and superior optoelectronic properties. However, defects that initiate degradation of LHPs through external stimuli and prompt internal ion migration at the interfaces remain a significant challenge. The electric field (EF), which is a fundamental driving force in LED operation, complicates the role of these defects in the physical and chemical properties of LHPs.

Quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) perovskites exhibit excellent performance when applied to light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, quasi-2D perovskite films generally have nonuniform phases and irregular internal crystal structures, which degrade the device's performance. Here, we propose using a Dion-Jacobson (DJ)-type organic spacer to modulate the phase distribution of the Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) quasi-2D perovskite.

It is still quite challenging to achieve high-performance and stable blue perovskite materials due to their instability and degradation. The lattice strain provides an important pathway to investigate the degradation process. In this article, the lattice strain in perovskite nanocrystals was regulated by the ratio of Cs, EA, and Rb cations with different sizes.

Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) reprogramming is inefficient and understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying this inefficiency holds the key to successfully control cellular identity. Here, we report 24 reprogramming roadblock genes identified by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome-wide knockout (KO) screening. Of these, depletion of the predicted KRAB zinc finger protein (KRAB-ZFP) Zfp266 strongly and consistently enhances murine iPSC generation in several reprogramming settings, emerging as the most robust roadblock.

Quantum dot (QD) light-emitting devices operating in non-carrier-injection (NCI) mode have attracted intense interest. Revealing the source of carriers that support the periodic electroluminescence is important because there is no injection of carriers from the external electrode. Electrons/holes generated by well-to-well multiple ionization in adjacent QDs are generally recognized as the carrier source for electroluminescence, and the stacked QD layers are necessary.

Improving solar energy collection in aquatic environments would allow for superior environmental monitoring and remote sensing, but the identification of optimal photovoltaic technologies for such applications is challenging as evaluation requires either field deployment or access to large water tanks. Here, we present a simple bench-top characterization technique that does not require direct access to water and therefore circumvents the need for field testing during initial trials of development. Employing LEDs to simulate underwater solar spectra at various depths, we compare Si and CdTe solar cells, two commercially available technologies, with GaInP cells, a technology with a wide bandgap close to ideal for underwater solar harvesting.
