In contrast to ionically conductive liquids and gels, a new type of yield-stress fluid featuring reversible transitions between solid and liquid states is introduced in this study as a printable, ultrastretchable, and transparent conductor. The fluid is formulated by dispersing silica nanoparticles into the concentrated aqueous electrolyte. The as-printed features show solid-state appearances to allow facile encapsulation with elastomers. The transition into liquid-like behavior upon tensile deformations is the enabler for ultrahigh stretchability up to the fracture strain of the elastomer. Successful integrations of yield-stress fluid electrodes in highly stretchable strain sensors and light-emitting devices illustrate the practical suitability. The yield-stress fluid represents an attractive building block for stretchable electronic devices and systems in terms of giant deformability, high ionic conductivity, excellent optical transmittance, and compatibility with various elastomers.

ABSTRACTCambrios has developed a transparent conductor material based on silver nanowires which can be used to replace the ITO layer in organic photovoltaics (OPV) device and in organic light-emitting devices (OLED).After being deposited from a liquid suspension by conventional coating or printing methods onto a transparent substrate, these nanowires form a transparent conducting network. The sheet resistance of the resulting film is determined by the density of the nanostructures and can thus be easily controlled during the coating process.The elimination of the ITO layer also results in a reduced microcavity effect and thus has a positive impact on the optical performance for OLED lighting devices.This paper will focus on the use of this material as an ITO replacement for OLED devices for lighting applications and for OPV devices. The performance of ITO-free OPV and OLED devices with a nanowire anode will be discussed. We also will present the optical performance data of OLED lighting devices which show the implications of a reduced microcavity effect. In addition, we will show lifetime data for these devices which demonstrate the viability of this technology.

In recent years, the photophysical properties of crystalline metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have become increasingly relevant for their potential application in light-emitting devices, photovoltaics, nonlinear optics and sensing. The availability of high-quality experimental data for such systems makes them ideally suited for a validation of quantum mechanical simulations, aiming at an in-depth atomistic understanding of photophysical phenomena. Here we present a computational DFT study of the absorption and emission characteristics of a Zn-based surface-anchored metal-organic framework (Zn-SURMOF-2) containing anthracenedibenzoic acid (ADB) as linker. Combining band-structure and cluster-based simulations on ADB chromophores in various conformations and aggregation states, we are able to provide a detailed explanation of the experimentally observed photophysical properties of Zn-ADB SURMOF-2: The unexpected (weak) red-shift of the absorption maxima upon incorporating ADB chromophores into SURMOF-2 can be explained by a combination of excitonic coupling effects with conformational changes of the chromophores already in their ground state. As far as the unusually large red-shift of the emission of Zn-ADB SURMOF-2 is concerned, based on our simulations, we attribute it to a modification of the exciton coupling compared to conventional H-aggregates, which results from a relative slip of the centers of neighboring chromophores upon incorporation in Zn-ADB SURMOF-2.
