Researchers from Harvard University, in collaboration with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Samsung, developed a material screening software, Molecular Space Shuttle (MSS), to identify high-performance molecules as blue thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters for organic light-emitting diodes (OLED).
By incorporating theoretical chemistry, machine learning, and cheminformatics, MSS identified thousands of potential candidates from a total of 1.6 million molecules. Some of the candidates with highest potentials are experimentally verified to demonstrate external quantum efficiencies (EQE) as high as 22%. In comparison, Cynora, a blue TADF emitter developer, reports EQE ranging between 10% to 18%, depending on the emitting wavelengths, and the record EQE in academia is about 20%.
The team demonstrated a process to not only screen for the top OLED candidates, but also to optimize the workflow
