The development of efficient organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) is essential for advancing modern displays and flexible electronics. This presentation explores two methodologies to enhance OLED performance through innovative material integration. The first involves incorporating core-shell nanoparticles into the hole transport layer (HTL). Metal nanoparticles (M-NPs) are encapsulated in a tungsten polyoxometalate (POM) compound and embedded in the PEDOT:PSS layer, leveraging the Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) effect. Analyses, including UV-Vis spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and electrical measurements, reveal enhanced optoelectronic properties with POM-M-NP integration. The second approach enhances OLED efficiency by combining carbon dots and a porphyrin layer in the electron transport layer (ETL). Carbon dots improve electron mobility and reduce recombination losses, while the porphyrin layer facilitates charge injection and blocks backflow. This synergy optimizes charge balance, lowers operating voltage, and improves luminous efficiency. These strategies underscore the importance of advanced material engineering in OLED development
