Modulation of Organic Emissive Surfaces via Self-Assembly - MOONRISE

Project summary

Organic light-emitting materials are crucial for various modern technological solutions, such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Unfortunately, the production stage of many organic emitters is associated with the generation of a considerable amount of chemical waste. The MOONRISE project will develop innovative surface-based organic light-emitting materials whose photophysical properties can be tuned through the formation of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold, glass, or metal oxide surfaces. The resulting SAMs will demonstrate tunable multi-color emission from a single luminophore, providing novel materials for the use in luminescent (LED), electroluminescent (OLED), and sensing devices. By reducing the need for a large selection of industrially produced luminophores, through modulation of the photophysical properties with surface structures, the project aims to lower waste generation and energy consumption in the organic electronics sector.
