Abstract

This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in the synthesis, properties, and applications of organic materials in the optoelectronics sector. The study emphasizes the critical role of organic materials in the development of state-of-the-art optoelectronic devices such as organic solar cells, organic thin-film transistors, and OLEDs. The review further examines the structure, operational principles, and performance metrics of organic optoelectronic devices. Organic materials have emerged as promising candidates due to their low-cost production and potential for large-area or flexible substrate applications. Additionally, this review highlights the physical mechanisms governing the optoelectronic properties of high-performance organic materials, particularly photoinduced processes relevant to charge carrier photogeneration. It discusses the unique benefits of organic materials over traditional inorganic materials, including their light weight, simple processing, and flexibility. The report delves into the challenges related to stability, scalability, and performance, while highlighting the wide range of electronic properties exhibited by organic materials, which are critical for their performances in optoelectronic devices. Furthermore, it addresses the need for further research and development in this field to achieve consistent performance across different types of devices.
