Article Abstract
Surface roughness of electrodes plays a key role in the dielectric breakdown of thin-film organic devices. The rate of breakdown will increase when there are stochastic sharp spikes on the surface of electrodes. Additionally, surface having spiking morphology makes the determination of dielectric strength very challenging, specifically when the layer is relatively thin. We demonstrate here a new approach to investigate the dielectric strength of organic thin films for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The thin films were deposited on a substrate using physical vapor deposition (PVD) under high vacuum. The device architectures used were glass substrate/indium tin oxide (ITO)/organic material/aluminum (Al) and glass substrate/Al/organic material/Al. The dielectric strength of the OLED materials was evaluated from the measured breakdown voltage and layer thickness.

Achieving superior energy storage performance in dielectric materials under low electric fields remains a challenge. Most recent advancements require high fields that limit device applicability. Developing dielectric capacitors with high recoverable energy density (W), efficiency (η), and energy-storage coefficient (W/E) at low/moderate fields is critical for safer, compact, and durable electronics.

In this paper, we investigated the thermal, dynamical, and structural properties, as well as association patterns, in 3-phenyl-1-propanol (3P1Pol) and 3-phenyl-1-propanal (3P1Pal), with special attention paid to the latter compound. Both systems turned out to be good glass formers, differing by 17 K in the glass transition temperature, which indicated a strong change in the self-assembly pattern. This supposition was further confirmed by the analysis of dielectric spectra, where, apart from the α-relaxation, also a unique Debye (D)-mode, being a fingerprint of the self-association, characterized by different dynamical properties (dielectric strength, timescale separation from the α-process), was detected in both samples.

This study addresses the growing need for sustainable and multifunctional materials by developing novel polycaprolactone (PCL)/chitosan (CS)/zirconium dioxide (ZrO) nanocomposite films. While PCL and CS offer biocompatibility and biodegradability, their combined use presents limitations for advanced applications requiring specific functional features. The incorporation of ZrO nanoparticles aims to overcome these limitations and create materials with enhanced mechanical, electrical, optical, and antibacterial properties.

Polymer dielectrics have attracted substantial attention for their extensive applications in advanced electronic power systems. However, their practical implementation is substantially hindered by the drastic deterioration in breakdown strength and energy storage capabilities at elevated temperatures. Herein, corrugated alumina (AlO) nanosheets anchored with uniformly dispersed silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are fabricated via a sequential bimetallic ion exchange method using polyimide (PI) film as the sacrificing template.
