New technique links aromatic rings for cleaner production of high-tech materials

Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Jun 16, 2025

A research team at Nagoya University has successfully developed a groundbreaking method for synthesizing the base structures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), compounds widely used in organic electronics including LEDs, transistors, and solar cells. Their approach enables the creation of these complex molecules using a simpler, more sustainable process. "This method uses unfuncti
