Organic and hybrid organic-inorganic flexible optoelectronics: Recent advances and perspectives

Extensive research in flexible optoelectronics, based on organic and organic-inorganic materials, has proven a leading topic because of their superior advantages in solution process-ability, large-area and cost-efficient fabrication. What matters most in the fabrication quality of optoelectronic devices are the materials, optimization of device structures, and manufacturing processe. The materials exhibit great merits, such as power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) for photovoltaic technology or charge mobilities for field effect transistors. Herein, we summarized the recent literature pertaining to materials in the application area of large-scale roll-to-roll (R2R) processable, 3D printed flexible electronics and optoelectronics.
