Plasmonic and metal oxide systems for high performance OLEDs and OPVs

Developing high performance organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) are highly relevant and advantageous to the practical applications of the emerging flexible organic optoelectronics. Herein, through the incorporation of plasmonic and metal oxide systems, we report several effective approaches for enhancing the optical absorption and charge carrier extraction in organic optoelectronic devices. We demonstrate that the power conversion efficiency of organic solar cells can be improved to ~9.2% depending on the plasmonic structures, device architectures, and the organic materials.
