A team of scientists from across Europe have devised a multidisciplinary approach blending chemistry, engineering and maths to create blue and white copper (l) complex light-emitting electrochemical cells.
Light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) are devices that generate light from an electric current through a phenomenon known as electroluminescence. LECs have a variety of applications and have the potential to undercut organic LEDs by an order of magnitude in cost.
