Recent studies on organic and perovskite optoelectronic devices have primarily relied on solution processing. However, from the perspective of commercialization, the vacuum-deposited process is more feasible because the representative OLED industry is based-on vacuum-deposition process.[1] First, we present the development of wavelength-selective organic small molecules from UV to Red with their application in high-performance optical sensors. For narrowband UV selective organic photodetectors (OPDs), three thiazolothiazole-based small molecules were synthesized as an active layer donor.[2] The extended π-conjugation and highly planar backbone was important to improve the intermolecular ordering and efficient charge transport even in the evaporation with C60 acceptor. The resulting OPDs exhibited high responsivity and detectivity with ultrafast response times and a cutoff frequency. Moreover, the devices were successfully monolithically integrated with CMOS image sensors, enabling multifunctional imaging without resolution loss. For R/G/B wavelength selective OPDs, a series of cyclopentadithiophene-based donor molecules were designed for tuning absorption from blue to red while maintaining low molecular weights and thermal stability suitable for vacuum deposition.[3] When blended with C60, a green-selective donor exhibited outstanding performance with external quantum efficiency (EQE) up to 70% and specific detectivity of 2.5 × 10¹² Jones. These devices demonstrated practical applications in visible-light communication and high-resolution X-ray imaging. Seceond, we report novel bathocuproine (BCP) derivatives for cathode buffer layer in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Substituting phenyl and p-tolyl groups at the 2,9-positions on BCP improves molecular planarity, protects reactive sites, which significantly enhances charge transport, reduces recombination losses, and markedly improves the structural stability of PSCs.[4]
