Organic semiconductor materials have been promising alternatives to their inorganic counterparts in several electronic applications such as solar cells, light emitting diodes, field effect transistors well thermoelectric generators. Their low cost, weight and flexibility make them appealing future foldable electronics wearable circuits using printing techniques. In this report, we present a mini-review on the organic that used for energy generation.
Abstract Mechanical failure of π‐conjugated polymer thin films is unavoidable under cyclic loading conditions, due to intrinsic defects and poor resistance crack propagation. Here, the first tear‐resistant room‐temperature self‐healable semiconducting composite presented, consisting conjugated polymers butyl rubber elastomers. This new displays both a record‐low elastic modulus (<1 MPa) ultrahigh deformability with fracture strain above 800%. More importantly, behavior not sensitive...
Abstract Achieving spectrally selective organic photodetectors (OPDs) without using broadband‐absorbing semiconductors with input filtering is a strenuous challenge. Charge collection narrowing (CCN) promising strategy to obtain near‐infrared (NIR) OPD by adopting thick bulk heterojunction (BHJ) as active layers. In this work, random terpolymer comprised from diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP), thiophene (T) and benzothiadiazole (BT), ran DPP‐2TBT, prepared used donor material in combination the low...
<italic>N</italic>-Alkyl naphthalene diimides show a highly versatile thermally-induced polymorphic behavior, including liquid crystalline mesophases, fully characterized in powders and thin films by combining thermal, diffraction imaging techniques.
The addition of sulfenes to substituted enaminoketones, followed by a facile Cope elimination, provides efficient access diverse series 1,2-oxathiine 2,2-dioxides.
The structure of a self-doping naphthalenetetracarboxylic diimide was found to be the product unexpected chemical reactions. effect mixed composition has on doped film morphology and electronic performance is also reported.
Intrinsically conducting diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) compounds functionalised with pendant quaternary ammonium groups have been synthesised. The hydroxide forms were found to be the product of base hydrolysis DPP amide during synthesis, likely made possible by restricted resonance. This gave mixed chemical compositions solutions and conductive films formed drop-casting. Chemical decomposition hydrolysed was also observed at temperatures above 85 °C. Conductivities approximately 3 × 10−4 S m−1...
