Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research and Merck have developed a simulation method to accelerate the design of materials for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). OLEDs, favored for their high contrast and low power consumption, rely on thin organic molecular films. The traditional trial-and-error approach to material synthesis and thin-film deposition is time-consuming, as molecular arrangements depend on deposition conditions like rate and surface interactions. The new method employs “coarse-graining,” simplifying molecular details to enable simulations of molecular packing within a feasible timeframe. This breakthrough significantly reduces experimental efforts, enabling quicker development of sustainable and high-performance materials for modern displays and other optoelectronic applications.

In general, if you enjoy reading this kind of scientific news articles, I am always keen to connect with fellow researchers in materials science, including the possibility to discuss about any potential interest in the Materials Square cloud-based online platform ( www.matsq.com ), designed for streamlining the execution of materials and molecular modelling simulations!
The Materials Square platform in fact provides extensive web-based functionalities for computational chemistry/materials research and training/education purposes, as detailed also in the following PDF brochure: https://www.materialssquare.com/wp-content/uploads/Materials_Square_Brochure_2022-compressed_1674181754.pdf
Many thanks for your interest and consideration,
