  • Publication number: 20130200353
    Abstract: The device for charge carrier modulation is a current-controlled component, which has semiconductor layers arranged on top of each other. The organic semiconductor layers arranged on top of each other are an electron transport layer, which is arranged between a first and a second hole transport layer, and/or a hole transport layer, which is arranged between a first and a second electron transport layer. The respective central layer is the modulation layer having a contact for a modulation voltage. By applying a modulation voltage, a modulation current flow is generated over the modulation layer. The modulation current flow influences the component current flow which flows from the first into the second hole or electron transport layer via the respective modulation layer.

  • Publication number: 20130196271
    Abstract: A material is utilized with an electropositive metal. This can be used as post-oxyfuel process for oxyfuel power stations. Here, an energy circuit is realized by the material utilization. An electropositive metal, in particular lithium, serves as energy store and as central reaction product for the conversion of nitrogen and carbon dioxide into ammonia and methanol. The power station thus operates without CO2 emissions.

  • Publication number: 20130046096
    Abstract: This invention presents, firstly, the principle that simple and known emitter materials which are uncharged per se, as known, for example, from OLED technology, can be converted to a charged species by the introduction of a charged imidazolinium radical. This charged species can then be used in organic light-emitting electrochemical cells.
