Abstract
This review comprehensively addresses the developments and applications of polymer materials in optoelectronics. Especially, this review introduces how the materials absorb, emit, and transfer charges, including the exciton-vibrational coupling, nonradiative and radiative processes, Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET), and energy dynamics. Furthermore, it outlines charge trapping and recombination in the materials and draws the corresponding practical implications. The following section focuses on the practical application of organic materials in optoelectronics devices and highlights the detailed structure, operational principle, and performance metrics of organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic photodetectors, and organic transistors in detail. Finally, this study underscores the transformative impact of organic materials on the evolution of optoelectronics, providing a comprehensive understanding of their properties, mechanisms, and diverse applications that contribute to advancing innovative technologies in the field.

Abstract
Organic electronics (OE) technology has matured in displays and is advancing in solid-state lighting applications. Other promising and growing uses of this technology are in (bio)chemical sensing, imaging, in vitro cell monitoring, and other biomedical diagnostics that can benefit from low-cost, efficient small devices, including wearable designs that can be fabricated on glass or flexible plastic. OE devices such as organic LEDs, organic and hybrid perovskite-based photodetectors, and organic thin-film transistors, notably organic electrochemical transistors, are utilized in such sensing and (bio)medical applications. The integration of compact and sensitive OE devices with microfluidic channels and lab-on-a-chip (LOC) structures is very promising. This survey focuses on studies that utilize this integration for a variety of OE tools. It is not intended to encompass all studies in the area, but to present examples of the advances and the potential of such OE technology, with a focus on microfluidics/LOC integration for efficient wide-ranging sensing and biomedical applications.

Abstract
We present a system efficiency analysis of a monolithic integrated organic optoelectronic unit for the detection of fluorescence labeled single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) for veterinary disease testing. The side-by-side integration of an organic light emitting diode (OLED) and an organic photodetector (OPD) with 0.5 mm by 0.5 mm device sizes has the potential to enable compact and low-cost fluorescence point-of-care (POC) devices for decentral multiplex biomedical testing. Here, we used two 6-FAM and BHQ1 labeled complementary ssDNA strands to form the Förster resonance transfer (FRET) upon the hybridization of the DNA. In this work we successfully show ssDNA hybridization sensing with samples diluted in TE buffer and investigate the detection of covalently bound 6-FAM-ssDNA on a glass surface for multiplex biomarker measurements.

Development of a fluorescence microplate reader using an organic photodiode array with a large light receiving area. Talanta 2022; 238:122994. [PMID: 34857327 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2021.122994] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2021] [Revised: 10/18/2021] [Accepted: 10/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
We developed a small fluorescence microplate reader with an organic photodiode (OPD) array. The OPD array has nine OPDs that have a large light receiving area (9.62 mm2 per one OPD). Since the OPD array is fabricated on a flat glass plate, it can be placed just below microwells and can detect fluorescence emitted through the entire surface of the microwell bottom. The analytical performance of the developed plate reader was evaluated by measuring an aqueous solution of resorufin. The limit of detection (LOD) for resorufin (0.01-0.05 μM) was lower than that obtained with a plate reader equipped with nine inorganic photodiodes developed in a previous study (0.30 μM) and a commercially available microplate reader (0.16 μM). These results indicate that the large light receiving area improves the detection performance of the system. In addition, the developed reader was successfully used to quantify immunoglobulin A (IgA) in human saliva. The LOD for IgA was estimated to be 1.2 ng/mL, which is low enough to objectively evaluate human stress.

Abstract
In the last decade, biochemical sensors have brought a disruptive breakthrough in analytical chemistry and microbiology due the advent of technologically advanced systems conceived to respond to specific applications. From the design of a multitude of different detection modalities, several classes of sensor have been developed over the years. However, to date they have been hardly used in point-of-care or in-field applications, where cost and portability are of primary concern. In the present review we report on the use of nanostructured organic and hybrid compounds in optoelectronic, electrochemical and plasmonic components as constituting elements of miniaturized and easy-to-integrate biochemical sensors. We show how the targeted design, synthesis and nanostructuring of organic and hybrid materials have enabled enormous progress not only in terms of modulation and optimization of the sensor capabilities and performance when used as active materials, but also in the architecture of the detection schemes when used as structural/packing components. With a particular focus on optoelectronic, chemical and plasmonic components for sensing, we highlight that the new concept of having highly-integrated architectures through a system-engineering approach may enable the full expression of the potential of the sensing systems in real-setting applications in terms of fast-response, high sensitivity and multiplexity at low-cost and ease of portability.
