Abstract Sensitive detection of near‐infrared (NIR) light enables many important applications in both research and industry. Current organic photodetectors suffer from low NIR sensitivity typically due to early absorption cutoff, responsivity, and/or large dark/noise current under bias. Herein, based on a novel ultranarrow‐bandgap nonfullerene acceptor, CO1‐4Cl, are presented, showcasing remarkable responsivity over 0.5 A W −1 the spectral region (920–960 nm), which is highest among...

In this report, we investigate the binding properties of Lewis acid tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane with a base semiconducting polymer, PFPT, and subsequent mechanism band gap reduction. Experiments quantum chemical calculations confirm that formation adduct is energetically favorable (ΔG° < −0.2 eV), preferential at pyridyl nitrogen in polymer backbone over other sites. Upon formation, ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy indicates only slight decrease HOMO energy, implying larger reduction...

Abstract The molecular structure and electrical properties of two n‐type organic small molecules which have the same core but different alkyl chains are compared. effect length on charge transport along alkyl‐chain stacking direction (out‐of‐plane) is investigated by a combination techniques. results show that longer chain corresponds to lower out‐of‐plane mobility ( µ ). More importantly, it found this not only plays significant role in affecting performance diode‐structure devices such as...

Abstract Solution‐processed conducting polymer thin films are key components in organic and flexible electronic optoelectronic devices. An archetypal is poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene)‐poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), which can feature a high work function thus helps achieving Ohmic contacts for holes with many semiconductors. However, it known that residual water PEDOT:PSS lowers their detrimental device lifetime. Our photoelectron spectroscopy experiments reveal the of containing shows...

Based on published research and watershed assessment techniques, we evaluated the feasibility of augmenting water yields in Klamath River its major tributaries by removing western juniper, which has expanded dramatically within Basin over past 130 years. The results suggest that conversion juniper woodlands to shrublands or grasslands would not substantially increase for as a whole. However, researchers should further examine potential management both summer flow rates small spring flows...

Learner autonomy has long been considered a requirement for university students. Attempts have made to develop scales measuring learner autonomy, but those built are either not psychometrically sound, too suitable implementing in class, or based on different conceptualised definition. This study, therefore, aims at developing brief and sound scale measure level of language learners (called LLAS). Questionnaire development procedure started with adapting items from three existing...
