Abstract

The two technologies of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and Organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) are emerging in the development of new sources of energy and lighting, respectively. The exceptional features of these technologies, including colorful, insensitivity to temperature and high response angle, have caused their attention and development. Organic compounds play a key role in these two technologies and cause the effective response and stability of the device, so high stability, longevity and the possibility of simple application in the structure of the structure are of great importance. Molecular engineering and the application of various substitutions on the naphthalimide core can produce promising results for the preparation of stable organic materials with diversity in properties and properties. In this Review, naphthalimides are introduced as an effective core in the preparation of light and electricity sensitive dyes. Its application in two technologies, DSSCs and OLED, is explained and the different components of these technologies are briefly introduced. Different structures of arrangement of electron donor and electron acceptor groups will be investigated and the performance efficiency of these devices will be investigated.
