Self-powered electronics: Organic semiconductors achieve both light emission and energy harvesting

Organic semiconductors are thin, flexible, and extremely versatile materials that have revolutionized the world of consumer electronics. They are the core technology behind organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays, which deliver the vivid colors and contrast seen in modern smartphones and televisions. Additionally, there are ongoing research efforts to harness these same materials for organic photovoltaics (OPVs), aiming to create flexible a…
