In this project funded by the Chemistry Division and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities of the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Professors Lisa McElwee-White and Tim Anderson of the University of Florida will work with Dr. Gary S. Silverman of Arkema Inc. on a vertically integrated approach to developing chemistries for cost-effective and scalable chemical vapor deposition of tungsten oxide injection layers for organic optoelectronic devices. The researchers use mechanism-based precursor design accompanied by computational chemistry tools to evaluate potential precursors before synthesis. Synthesis of the precursors is followed by a rapid screening process that sends only the most promising precursors to the film demonstration step. Aalternative precursor delivery systems designed for all molecules independent of volatility are also considered, thus including the full range of possible precursors. Close collaboration with industry will facilitate process development and optimization including reactor modeling, thus increasing the likelihood of successful technology transfer.This project brings together collaborators with complementary chemistry, chemical engineering, materials and industrial process development expertise to address a critical problem in the manufacture of organic optoelectronic devices. The target application is OLED devices for general illumination, which have the potential for significant energy savings. Through working on an interdisciplinary project involving academic-industrial collaboration, students will gain exposure to team-based training and problem solving skills that reach outside their own disciplines of graduate study. Six-month internships at the Arkema site will give students exposure to industrial practice that will broaden their perspectives beyond academic research. In addition, participating faculty will have the opportunity to integrate their added insight from industrial collaboration into their courses.

在这个由化学部和数学和物理科学局多学科活动办公室资助的项目中，佛罗里达大学的Lisa McElwee-White教授和Tim Anderson教授将与Arkema Inc.的Gary S.Silverman博士合作，采用垂直集成的方法开发化学物质，用于经济高效和可扩展的化学气相沉积有机光电子器件的钨注入层。研究人员使用基于机理的前体设计，并辅之以计算化学工具，在合成之前评估潜在的前体。前体的合成之后是一个快速筛选过程，该过程只将最有希望的前体送到电影演示步骤。还考虑了为所有分子设计的与挥发性无关的替代前体输送系统，从而包括了所有可能的前体。与工业界的密切合作将促进包括反应器建模在内的工艺开发和优化，从而增加成功技术转让的可能性。该项目将具有互补的化学、化学工程、材料和工业工艺开发专业知识的合作者聚集在一起，以解决有机光电子器件制造中的关键问题。目标应用是用于普通照明的OLED设备，这具有显著节省能源的潜力。通过参与一个涉及学术和产业合作的跨学科项目，学生们将获得基于团队的培训和解决问题的技能，这些技能超出了他们自己的研究生学习学科。在Arkema工厂为期6个月的实习将使学生接触到工业实践，这将拓宽他们的视野，使其超越学术研究。此外，参与课程的教师将有机会将他们从行业合作中获得的更多见解融入到他们的课程中。
