Polymeric nanocomposite films from PEDOT and MEH-PPV embedded with surface modified TiO2nanoparticles for the hole transport layer and emission layer were prepared, respectively, for organic emitting diodes (OLEDs). The composite of MEH-PPV+nc-TiO2was used for organic solar cells (OSCs). The characterization of these nanocomposites and devices showed that electrical (I-Vcharacteristics) and spectroscopic (photoluminescent) properties of conjugate polymers were enhanced by the incorporation of nc-TiO2in the polymers. The organic light emitting diodes made from the nanocomposite films would exhibit a larger photonic efficiency and a longer lasting life. For the organic solar cells made from MEH-PPV+nc-TiO2composite, a fill factor reached a value of about 0.34. Under illumination by light with a power density of 50 mW/cm2, the photoelectrical conversion efficiency was about 0.15% corresponding to an open circuit voltageVoc= 0.126 V and a shortcut circuit current densityJsc= 1.18 mA/cm2.

Polymeric nanocomposite films from PEDOT and MEH-PPV embedded with surface modified TiO2 nanoparticles were prepared, respectively for the hole transport layer (HTL) and emission layer (EL) in Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED). The composite of MEH-PPV + nc-TiO2 was used for Organic Solar Cells (OCS). The results from the characterization of the properties of the nanocomposites and devices showed that electrical (I-V characteristics) and spectroscopic (photoluminescent) properties of the conjugate polymers were enhanced due to the incorporation of nc-TiO2 in the polymers. The OLEDs made from the nanocomposite films would exhibit a larger photonic efficiency and a longer lasting life. For the OSC made from MEH-PPV + nc-TiO2 composite, the fill factor (FF) reached a value as high as 0.34. Under illumination of light with a power density of 50 mW/cm2, the photoelectrical conversion efficiency (PEC) was found to be of 0.15% corresponding to an open circuit voltage VOC = 1.15 V and a short-cut circuit current density JSC = 0.125 mA/cm2.

<p>Flexible red OLEDs based on a quadruple layer stack in-between electrodes with 160 mm<sup>2</sup> active area were fabricated in ambient air on PET via slot-die coating. For the OLED structure PET/ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PVK/PFO:tPDI<sub>2</sub>N-EH/ZnO/Ag the ink formulations and coating parameters for each layer were systematically evaluated and optimized. The air-stable red-light emitting material tPDI<sub>2</sub>N-EH was successfully utilized as blended homogeneous film with PFO for the emitting layer. The use of an organic hole-transport layer (PVK) and inorganic electron injection layer (ZnO) significantly improved the brightness of the reference device from 4 cd/m<sup>2</sup> to 303 cd/m<sup>2</sup>. Surface analysis using AFM measurements showed that PVK interlayer reduced the surface roughness of the hole injection layer (PEDT:PSS) from 0.45 nm to 0.17 nm, which improved the ability to form uniform emitting layers on top. In addition, the ZnO interlayer improved the average roughness of the device from 1.26 nm to 0.85 nm and reduced the turn-on voltage of the device from 5.0 V to 2.8 V.</p>
