The effect of impurities on the optoelectronic and charge transport properties semiconducting polymers was investigated through performance organic photovoltaics (OPVs) field transistors (OFETs), respectively. A model representative polymer, i.e., poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), synthesized purified using different methods such as precipitation, metals' complexation, Soxhlet extraction. After purification processes, each fraction analyzed to determine its composition in metals (impurities) by...
Abstract Control and prediction of crystal structures molecular semiconductors are considered challenging, yet they crucial for rational design superior semiconductors. It is here reported that through methylthiolation, one can rationally control the structure pyrene derivatives as semiconductors; 1,6‐bis(methylthio)pyrene keeps a similar sandwich herringbone to parent pyrene, whereas 1,3,6,8‐tetrakis(methylthio)pyrene (MT‐pyrene) takes new type brickwork structure.

Abstract Organic mixed ionic‐electronic conductors (OMIEC) have emerged as pivotal materials in organic bioelectronics, particularly when integrated into electrochemical transistors (OECTs). Conducting polymer‐based devices indeed demonstrated their capability to transduce biological signals amplified output signals, harnessing the high transconductance of OECTs. The OECT operating principle and sensing strongly depend on ion‐conjugated backbone coupling: dual nature OMIECs, i.e....

Abstract Three 3,6‐di(4‐methoxyphenyl)amino N ‐alkylated carbazoles were synthesized, characterized and incorporated in solid state dye‐sensitized solar cells. Devices using these compounds as hole conductors showed relative high V oc thanks to good energy level matching between them D102 dye. However, they yield relatively low J sc FF compared spiro‐OMeTAD‐based control devices, which is due an order of magnitude lower mobility conductivity with respect spiro‐OMeTAD. Maximum PCEs for ‐ethyl...
Borondifluoride complexes of curcuminoid derivatives end-capped with triphenylamine groups were designed for solution-processed bulk-heterojunction organic solar cells.
