Single-crystal semiconductors have been at the forefront of scientific interest for more than 70 years, serving as the backbone of electronic devices. Inorganic single crystals are typically grown from a melt using time-consuming and energy-intensive processes. Organic semiconductor single crystals, however, can be grown using solution-based methods at room temperature in air, opening up the po...

Porphyrin-based metal–organic frameworks (PP-MOFs) have some special features beyond ordinary MOFs, including superior optoelectronic characteristics, the ability to form 2D layered structure, and customizability, which prompt increasing attention of PP-MOFs in field neuromorphic electronics. The related application research is initial stage, a timely summary guidance are necessary. fabrication...

The rational assembly of monomers, in principle, enables the design of a specific periodicity of polymeric frameworks, leading to a tailored set of electronic structure properties in these solid-state materials. The further development of these emerging systems requires a combination of both experimental and theoretical studies. Here, we investigated the electronic structures of two-dimensional...

Organic thin-film transistors (TFTs) are of interest for a variety of large-area electronics applications, such as flexible active-matrix displays and conformable sensor arrays [1]. Among the challenges in the development of high-performance organic TFTs, especially on flexible polymeric substrates, is to realize organic TFTs that simultaneously provide a large field-effect mobility, a large on...

Sandrine Martin Michael Hamilton Jerzy Kanicki* Abstract — Organic-polymer-based thin-film transistors (OP-TFTs) look very promising for flexible, large-area, and low-cost organic electronics. In this paper, we describe devices based on spin-coated organic polymer that reproducibly exhibit field-effect mobility values around 5×10–3 cm2/V-sec. We also address fabrication, performance, and stabil...
