Dongguk University Researchers Develop Breakthrough Material for Powering Next-Generation Smart Devices The proposed revolutionary low-cost technology enables smart sensors and wearables to run without batteries SEOUL, South Korea, March 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Next-generation optoelectronic systems (devices that convert light to electrical energy) leverage organic semiconductor-based indoor energy-autonomous architectures for cutting-edge applications. Notably, organic semiconductors possess mechanical flexibility, solution processability, and bandgap-tunable optoelectronic properties, making them highly lucrative for indoor power generation via organic photovoltaics (OPVs), as well as for spectrally selective photodetection through organic photodetectors (OPDs). Unfortunately, technological progress made in the fields of OPVs and OPDs has largely been separate, necessitating further research for the development of bifunctional OPV-OPD […]
