Role of the Recombination Zone in Organic Light‐Emitting Devices
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review summarizes the critical role of the recombination zone in organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs). We highlight that broadening the recombination zone in OLEDs based on emissive layers with balanced charge transport and high photoluminescence quantum yields provides a promising route toward achieving both long operational lifetime and high ...

Why Is the Mechanism Underlying the Chiral‐Induced Selectivity Effect Still Challenging?
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The chiral‐induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect is observed in many experimental configurations and for different materials. However, there are theoretical challenges in attempting to explain those results. A qualitative framework for explaining all the results is presented.
