Transparent, highly percolated networks of regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (rr-P3HT)-wrapped semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWNTs) are deposited, and the charge transfer processes of these nanohybrids are studied using spectroscopic and electrical measurements. The data disclose hole doping of s-SWNTs by the polymer, challenging the prevalent electron-doping hypothesis. Th...

Organic sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are potential alternatives of current commercial inorganic lithium-ion batteries for portable electronics (especially wearable electronics) because of their low cost and flexibility, making them possible to meet the future flexible and large-scale requirements. However, only a few organic SIBs have been reported so far, and most of them either were tested in ...

Flexible electronics opened a new class of future electronics. The foldable, light and durable nature of flexible electronics allows vast flexibility in applications such as display, energy devices and mobile electronics. Even though conventional electronics fabrication methods are well developed for rigid substrates, direct application or slight modification of conventional processes for flexi...

The history and development of pyrazineand pyridine-type heteroacenes and their use in solid-state organic electronics are discussed and reviewed. The larger N-heteroacenes are potential electronor hole-transporting materials and should therefore complement acenes in organic electronics. As they feature electronegative nitrogen ring atoms in their molecular skeleton, issues with oxidation shoul...

Organic electronics has evolved into a well-established research field thanks to major progresses in material sciences during recent decades. More attention was paid to this research field when “the discovery and development of conductive polymers” was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2000. Electronic devices that rely on tailor-made material functionalities, the ability of solution proc...

Organic semiconductors present several technological advantages as the active materials in the development of new, flexible electronics. Here we provide an overview of current developments in organic thin-film field-effect transistor (OFET)[1] and circuit technologies. Discussion and analysis are presented in the context of tetrabenzoporphyrin (TBP), a solution-processable organic semiconductor...

Inherently conducting polymers have been used in several applications for flexible electronics, for example in organic thin film transistors (OTFT), organic light emitting diodes (OLED), organic photovoltaic cells and electrochromic devices [1-3]. Nanoimprinting may offer a high throughput method to produce low cost devices [4] also when functional polymers such as conducting polymers are used....

Organic Electronics. Intrinsically stretchable electroluminescent elastomers for highly efficient non-blended organic light-emitting diodes are reported by Wen-Yong Lai et al. in their Research Article (e202213749).

We report the implementation of three dimensionally cross-linked, organic nanodielectric multilayers as ultrathin gate dielectrics for a type of thin film transistor device that uses networks of single-walled carbon nanotubes as effective semiconductor thin films. Unipolar n- and p-channel devices are demonstrated by use of polymer coatings to control the behavior of the networks. Monolithicall...
