© 2022 Wiley-VCH GmbH.Observation of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) in conjugated systems redefined the molecular design approach to realize highly efficient organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) in the early 2010s. Enabling effective reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) by minimizing the difference between singlet and triplet excited state energies (ΔEST) is proven to be a widely applicable and fruitful approach, which results in remarkable external quantum efficiencies (EQE). The efficacy of RISC in these systems is mainly dictated by the first-order mixing coefficient (λ), which is proportional to spin-orbit coupling (HSO) and inversely proportional to ΔEST. While minimizing ΔEST has been the focus of the OLED community over the last decade, the effect of HSO in these systems is largely overlooked. Here, molecular systems with increased HSO are designed and synthesized by substituting selected heteroatoms of high-performance TADF materials with heavy-atom selenium. A new series of multicolor TADF materials with remarkable EQEs are achieved. One of these materials, SeDF-B, results in pure blue emission with EQEs approaching 20%. Additionally, flexible graphene-based electrodes are developed for OLEDs and revealed to have similar performance as standard indium tin oxide (ITO) in most cases. These devices are the first report of TADF based OLEDs that utilize graphene-based anodes.

TRANSPARENT GRAPHENE ANODES FOR ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DIODES Sharif, Parisa; Oral, Ahmet; Çırpan, Ali; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2021-7-14) This thesis presents a novel method for fabrication of OLEDs on a specific flexible PET substrate with graphene anodes, demonstrating low sheet resistance, high work function, and an extremely high luminance. Firstly, a single-layer graphene growth process with chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method is optimized. Flexible anodes are then fabricated by stacking 7-layers of graphene films and doped with nitric acid to reduce the sheet resistance. Modified few layer graphene anodes by 29 Ω/□ sheet resistance a...
Robust Covalent Coupling Scheme for the Development of FRET Aptasensor based on Amino-Silane-Modified Graphene Oxide Kahyaoğlu, Leyla Nesrin (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2018-12-04) In recent years, numerous aptamers have been physisorbed on graphene oxide (GO) to develop fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based aptasensors using the fluorescence quenching property of GO. However, physisorbed aptasensors show poor signal reversibility and reproducibility as well as nonspecific probe displacement, and thereby are not suitable for many analytical applications. To overcome these problems when working with complex biological samples, we developed a facile and robust covalent surface fu...
MoS2-nanosheet/graphene-oxide composite hole injection layer in organic light-emitting diodes Park, Minjoon; Thang Phan Nguyen, Thang Phan Nguyen; Choi, Kyoung Soon; PARK, JONGEE; Öztürk, Abdullah; Kim, Soo Young (2017-07-01) In this work, composite layers comprising two-dimensional MoS2 and graphene oxide (GO) were employed as hole injection layers (HILs) in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). MoS2 was fabricated by the butyllithium (BuLi) intercalation method, while GO was synthesized by a modified Hummers method. The X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the intensity of the MoS2 (002) peak at 14.15A degrees decreased with increase in GO content; the GO (001) peak was observed at 10.07A degrees. In the C 1s synchrotron ra...
Rational molecular design enables efficient organic solar cells and organic light emitting devices Alemdar Yılmaz, Eda; Çırpan, Ali; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2022-12-26) Organic conjugated polymers and organic small molecules have great potential to meet one of the world's most critical challenges, clean energy production, in the following decades. Owing to their semiconducting properties, organic conjugated molecules are promising candidates for clean energy applications such as organic solar cells (OSCs) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) due to their low cost, lightweight, and flexibility. This study covers the rational molecular design for efficient OLEDs and OSC...
Low-cost uncooled infrared detector arrays in standard CMOS Eminoglu, S; Tanrikulu, MY; Akın, Tayfun (2003-04-25) This paper reports the development of a low-cost 128 x 128 uncooled infrared focal plane array (FPA) based on suspended and thermally isolated CMOS p(+)-active/n-well diodes. The FPA is fabricated using a standard 0.35 mum CMOS process followed by simple post-CMOS bulk micromachining that does not require any critical lithography or complicated deposition steps; and therefore, the cost of the uncooled FPA is almost equal to the cost of the CMOS chip. The post-CMOS fabrication steps include an RIE etching to...
