Research Output

VISTEC researchers have been very productive in publishing their research in leading international journals as well as obtaining patents. On average, our faculty members publish more than three papers and file at least one patent every year. This research output and intellectual property creation serve as the launchpad for real products and applications.

Zeolitic Imidazole Framework as Defect Passivation Layer for Enhanced Electron Injection Efficiency in Organic Light-Emitting Diodes

Chokchai Kaiyasuan, Jirayus Kongkansarn, Wijitra Waengdongbung, Taweesak Sudyoadsuk, Prayoon Songsiriritthigul, Hideki Nakajima, Vinich Promarak*, Kanokwan Kongpatpanich*

Small | First published on 23 September 2025

Journal Metric: 2024 JIF = 12.1, CiteScore = 16.1, Scopus Quartile = Q1 & Top Tier, in category Biotechnology

DOI: https://doi.org/10.1002/smll.202502234

Abstract: Understanding and controlling interfacial chemistry remains a critical challenge in optoelectronic materials. This study demonstrates that incorporating a zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) can be succesfully integrated as a coordination-driven passivation layer in inverted organic light-emitting diodes (iOLEDs).
