For realising better device stability and colour purity, efficient thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials have been widely studied as exciton donors for fluorescent acceptors. Highly efficient hyperfluorescent organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have been reported exploiting a variety of combinations of TADF donors and fluorescent acceptors embedded into high-gap host matrices. However, it should be taken into account that the host matrix can reduce power efficiency, resulting from a considerable increase in driving voltage. Furthermore, a three-component composition in an emitting layer (EML) also increases the complexity of device fabrication beyond the typical host-guest emissive layer adopted by industry. So far, wide-gap host matrices have been considered practically essential to dilute TADF and fluorescent molecules and suppress two challenging energy loss mechanisms, 1) Aggregation/ concentration quenching of TADF donors and 2) Triplet Dexter energy transfer between TADF donors and fluorescent acceptors. In principle, the EML of hyperfluorescent OLEDs only requires two components: a TADF host and a fluorescent emitter, a simpler device structure that is termed matrix-free hyperfluorescence (MFHF). If the host matrix could be removed without the efficiency loss, more efficient and simple-structured MFHF OLEDs could be realised. In this presentation, new strategies are explored to suppress the main loss pathways associated with hyperfluorescent devices to preclude the need for a high-gap co-host. Firstly, novel organometallic TADF compounds (so-called carbene-metal-amides (CMAs)) are explored as efficient TADF hosts resistant to concentration quenching. Secondly, sterically encapsulated fluorescent acceptors are introduced to prevent close contact between the donors and acceptors and minimise Dexter triplet transfer energy loss in MFHF OLEDs.

nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
