All-organic thermally activated delayed fluorescence materials for organic light-emitting diodes

10.1038/natrevmats.2018.20

2018-04-10

Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters, which produce light by harvesting both singlet and triplet excitons without noble metals, are emerging as next-generation organic electroluminescent materials. In the past few years, there have been ra...

Nanofibrils in nature and materials engineering

10.1038/natrevmats.2018.16

2018-04-05

Nanofibrillar materials, such as cellulose, chitin and silk, are highly ordered architectures, formed through the self-assembly of repetitive building blocks into higher-order structures, which are stabilized by non-covalent interactions. This hierarchical bu...

Scalable fabrication of perovskite solar cells

A cost and resource analysis of sodium-ion batteries

10.1038/natrevmats.2018.13

2018-03-13

Sodium-ion batteries have been identified as appealing alternatives to lithium-ion batteries because they are made from raw materials that are less expensive, more abundant and less toxic. However, the frequently discussed cost advantage of sodium-ion batteri...
