In doped organic electroluminescent devices (OLEDs), the changes of the fluorescence spectra occurred due to the energy and charge transfer from guest to host. A quantitative relation between the energy and charge transfer for doping OLEDs was studied by means of a Hamiltonian model. It was found that there is a corresponding relation between the EL intensity of doped PVK and the amount of the transferred charge and the change of the energy derived from charge transfer with dopant concentration, and the more the amount of the transferred charge and the decreasing of the energy from charge transfer, the higher the EL intensity in doped OLEDs. We can deduce that the efficient energy transfer results from the transferred charge between PVK and perylene. Based on the transport mechanism of carriers in conjugated polymer, an expression of conductivity was presented. Calculated results indicated that there is also a corresponding relation between the EL intensity of doped PVK and conductivities with dopant concentration. The larger the conductivities, the higher the EL intensity in doped OLEDs.

A library of 237 organic binary/ternary nanohybrids consisting of conjugated polymers donors and both fullerene and non-fullerene molecular acceptors was prepared and screened for sacrificial photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. These donor-acceptor nanohybrids (DANHs) showed significantly enhanced hydrogen evolution rates compared with the parent donor or acceptor compounds. DANHs of <a></a><a>a polycarbazole</a>-based donor combined with a methanofullerene acceptor (PCDTBT/PC<sub>60</sub>BM) showed a high hydrogen evolution rate of 105.2 mmol g<sup>-1</sup> h<sup>-1</sup> under visible light (λ > 420 nm). This DANH photocatalyst produced 5.9 times more hydrogen than a sulfone-containing polymer (P10) under the same conditions, which is one of the most efficient organic photocatalysts reported so far. An apparent quantum yield of hydrogen evolution of 3.0 % at 595 nm was measured for this DANH. The photocatalytic activity of the DANHs, which in optimized cases reached 179.0 mmol g<sup>-1</sup> h<sup>-1</sup>, is attributed to efficient charge transfer at the polymer donor/molecular acceptor interface. We also show that ternary donor<sub>A</sub>-donor<sub>B</sub>-acceptor nanohybrids can give higher activities than binary donor-acceptor hybrids in some cases.
