We have successfully obtained a highly transparent and conductive film by doping poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) with graphene oxide (GO) and sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS).

Inspired by butterflies an advanced detection and sensing system is developed. The hierarchical nanoarchitecture of Morpho butterfly wings is shown to facilitate the selective modification of such a structure, which results in a sensitive infrared response. These findings offer a new path both for detecting infrared photons and for generating nanostructured bimaterial systems for high-performance sensing platforms.

A highly efficient and stable electron injection layer (EIL) for inverted organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) is developed. A 1 nm-thick Al is deposited between indium tin oxide cathode and commonly used Cs2CO3 EIL, which can significantly improve the stability. The Al may react with evaporated Cs2CO3 and form a much stabler Al-O-Cs complex, avoiding Cs oxidization by air according to X-ray photoemission spectroscopy measurement. When the Al is evaporated after Cs2CO3 layer, although such a Al-O-Cs complex also forms, the inferior electron injection at Al/4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline interface leads to a joule heat-induced resistance that adversely affects the air stability of the device. It is expected that the developed Al/Cs2CO3 EIL promotes high efficiency and stable active-matrix OLEDs based on n-type thin film transistor.
