  1. Platinum( ii ) binuclear complexes containing two platinum centers bridged by different types of ligands have received great research attention for their unique properties and potential applications in a variety of areas. The properties of these binuclear Pt( ii ) complexes, which could be significantly different from those of their mononuclear counterparts, are highly tunable by modifying their cyclometallating ligands and bridging ligands, as well as their structural configurations. The photophysical properties of these complexes involving a wide range of spectroscopic phenomena make them a very interesting class of materials to be spectroscopically studied. Applications of platinum( ii ) binuclear complexes have been explored in several areas, ranging from light emitting diodes, to sensors and photocatalysis. In this review, the molecular structures, photophysical properties, and applications of a variety of platinum( ii ) binuclear complexes are discussed. We intend to shed some light on the recent progress in this field and give a future outlook.

  2. Abstract In this work, an electron blocking layer (EBL) free light emitting diode (LED) nanowire is proposed with alternate prestrained layers of InxGa1−xN/GaN, which are inserted between the GaN/InGaN multi‐quantum wells (MQWs) and n‐GaN layer. This study signifies the role of prestrained layers on the piezoelectric polarization of LED nanowires, for enhanced luminescence. When compared with the conventional one, the EBL free LED nanowire with prestrained layer shows an enhancement of ~2.897% efficiency, which occurs due to the reduction of polarization field in the active region. The LED with 15% indium in the prestrained layer obtains a maximum efficiency of 85.21% along with a minimum efficiency droop of 3.848% at 40 mA injected current. The proposed III‐nitride LED nanostructure allows for achieving superior optical power across the output spectral range.

  4. Stretchable and free‐form displays receive significant attention as they hold immense potential for revolutionizing future display technologies. These displays are designed to conform to irregular surfaces and endure mechanical strains, making them well suited for applications in wearable electronics, biomedical devices, and interactive displays. Traditional light‐emitting devices typically employ brittle inorganic and metallic materials, which are not conducive to stretchability. However, replacing these nonflexible components with flexible/stretchable nanomaterials, soft organic materials, or their composites improves the overall flexibility and stretchability of devices. In this review, the roles and opportunities of nanomaterials, such as thin films, 1D nanofibrous materials, and micro/nanoparticles, are highlighted for enhancing the stretchability and overall performance of various types of light‐emitting devices. By leveraging the unique mechanical and electrical properties of nanomaterials, various efforts emerge to push the boundaries of stretchable display technologies and further realize their full potential for diverse applications.

  5. null (Ed.)
    A critical issue in developing high-performance organic light-emitting transistors (OLETs) is to balance the trade-off between charge transport and light emission in a semiconducting material. Although traditional materials for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) or organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) have shown modest performance in OLET devices, design strategies towards high-performance OLET materials and the crucial structure–performance relationship remain unclear. Our research effort in developing cross-conjugated weak acceptor-weak donor copolymers for luminescent properties lead us to an unintentional discovery that these copolymers form coiled foldamers with intramolecular H-aggregation, leading to their exceptional OLET properties. An impressive external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 6.9% in solution-processed multi-layer OLET devices was achieved.
