Improving crystallinity of conjugated polymer molecules in solution-processed thin films is crucial for their efficient charge transport and thus high performance optoelectronic devices. Herein, with diketopyrrolopyrrole-quaterthiophene （PDQT） copo/ymer as an example, it is found that by simply reducing the solution concentration for spincoating meanwhile with the assistance of post-annealing, significantly enhanced film crystallinity with formation of typical single crystalline domains is obtained, which benefits from the enough space for better molecular assembly especially at the semiconductor/dielectric interface. High performance polymer transistors and phototransistors were finally constructed based on the optimal lowconcentration （2 mg/mL） spin-coated PDQT films （～12 nm）, which giving a high charge carrier mobility of 2.28 cm2 V-1 s-1 and a photoresponse on/off ratio of 2.1 ×107 at VG = 0 V under white light irradiation of 6mW/cm2. The results suggest that the bright future of PDQT crystalline films for large-area flexible integrated optoelectronic devices and the application of effective low-concentration processing approach in solution-processed organic electronics with reduced material waste.展开更多

The charge transport process in conjugated polymers mainly occurs in the intrachain and interchain parts, where the interchain charge transport is generally slower than intrachain transport and may slow down the whole charge transport properties. Aiming at this issue, herein we employ semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes(s-SWNTs) as efficient charge-transporting jointing channels between conjugated polymer chains for improving the charge transport performance. Taking the typical conjugated polymer, ploy-N-alkyl-diketopyrrolopyrrole-dithienylthieno[3,2-b]thiophene(PDPP-TT) as an example, polymer thin film transistors(PTFTs) based on the optimized blended films of PDPP-TT/s-SWNTs exhibit an obviously increasing device performance compared with the devices based on pure PDPP-TT films, with the hole and electron mobility increased from 2.32 to 12.32 cm^2 V^-1 s^-1 and from 2.02 to 5.77 cm^2 V^-1 s^-1, respectively. This result suggests the importance of forming continuous conducting channels in conjugated polymer thin films, which can also be extended to other polymeric electronic and optoelectronic devices to promote their potential applications in large-area, low-cost and high performance polymeric electronic devices and circuits.展开更多

Herein, a new wire-like morphology of phenazine(Phz)-chloranilic acid(H2ca) cocrystal(PHC) is demonstrated for the first time, and the self-assembly of Phz and H2ca is controlled to selectively prepare kinetically stable wires and thermodynamically stable plates. Specifically, low precursor concentration is beneficial for one-dimensional(1D) self-assembly along the [010] crystallographic direction, while only supersaturation can trigger 2D self-assembly along the [100] and [010] directions, respectively. This is understandable in terms of the(020) face showing the largest attachment energy(Eatt) and the(002) face possessing the smallest surface energy(Esurf). Moreover, anisotropic Raman spectra related to the mode symmetry and atomic displacements in two types of PHCs are revealed, and the same Raman-active vibrational bands of PHC wire and plate show different polarization responses, which is intrinsically ascribed to their different molecular orientations.Overall, this is the first case that morphologies of cocrystal are precisely tuned with comprehensive investigations of their anisotropic vibrational characteristics.展开更多

Thus charge transport anisotropy along different directions is commonly observed in organic semiconductors. Interestingly, in this article, we found that comparable charge transport property were achieved based on the single crystals of a bis-fused tetrathiafulvalene derivative （EM-TTP） compound along two interaction directions, that is, the multiple strong S…S intermolecular interactions and the π-π stacking direction, with the measured electrical conductivity and hole mobility of 0.4 S cm-1, 0.94 cm2 V i s 1 and 0.2 S cm-1, 0.65 cm2 V-1 s-1, respectively. This finding provides us a new molecular design concept for developing novel organic semiconductors with isotropic charge transport property through the synergistic effect of multiple intermolecular interactions （such as π-π interactions） and π-π stacking.展开更多

Tuning of aggregation structure and electrical property is important for the application in organic electronics. In this study, a facile way to tune the aggregation structure and electrical property of 2.6-diphenyl-anthracene(DPA) is realized by using the octadecyltrichlorosilane(OTS) modification layer with different density which is fabricated by controlling reaction temperature and time.Compared with low density OTS, DPA forms larger grain size, less grain boundaries, and better molecular ordering on high density OTS surface. As a result, the charge transporting mobility of DPA film on high density OTS surface is about two orders of magnitude higher than that on low density OTS surface. The tunable aggregation structure and electrical property of DPA demonstrated here would be meaningful for the application of DPA in organic electronics.展开更多

文摘Organic phototransistors based on high-quality 2,8-dichloro-5,11-dihexyl-indolo[3,2-b]carbazo(CHICZ)single crystals show the highest photoresponsivity of 3×10^3 A W^-1, photosensitivity of 2×10^4 and the detectivity can achieve 8.4×10^14 Jones. We also discovered good linear dependence of log(photosensitivity) versus the wavelength when the devices were illuminated with a series of sameintensity but different-wavelength lights. The organic phototransistors based on CHICZ single crystal have potential applications in wavelength-detection.

文摘Conjugated polymers with well-balanced ambipolar charge transport is essential for organic circuits at low cost and large area with simplified fabrication techniques.Aiming at this point,herein,a novel asymmetric thiophene/pyridine-flanked diketopyrrolopyrrole-based copolymer(PPyTDPP-2FBT)is designed and synthesized.Due to the effect of incorporating F atoms on molecular energy alignment and conjugation conformation,the PPyTDPP-2FBT copolymer exhibits typical V-shaped ambipolar field-effect transfer characteristics with well-balanced hole and electron mobilities of 0.64 and 0.46 cm^(2)V^(−1)s^(−1),respectively.Furthermore,organic digital and analog circuits such as inverters and frequency doublers are successfully constructed based on solution-processed films of the PPyTDPP-2FBT copolymers which show a typical circuit operating mode with a high gain of 133 due to the well-balanced electrical properties.In addition,PPyTDPP-2FBT-based devices also demonstrate good stability and batch repeatability,suggesting their great potential applications in organic integrated electronic circuits.

文摘Conjugated polymers attracted much attention in the past few decades due to their wide applications in various optoelectronic devices and circuits. The charge transport process in conjugated polymers mainly occurs in the intrachain and interchain parts, where the interchain charge transport is generally slower than intrachain transport and may slow down the whole charge transport properties. Aiming at this issue, herein we employ semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes(s-SWNTs) as efficient charge-transporting jointing channels between conjugated polymer chains for improving the charge transport performance. Taking the typical conjugated polymer, ploy-N-alkyl-diketopyrrolopyrrole-dithienylthieno[3,2-b]thiophene(PDPP-TT) as an example, polymer thin film transistors(PTFTs) based on the optimized blended films of PDPP-TT/s-SWNTs exhibit an obviously increasing device performance compared with the devices based on pure PDPP-TT films, with the hole and electron mobility increased from 2.32 to 12.32 cm^2 V^-1 s^-1 and from 2.02 to 5.77 cm^2 V^-1 s^-1, respectively. This result suggests the importance of forming continuous conducting channels in conjugated polymer thin films, which can also be extended to other polymeric electronic and optoelectronic devices to promote their potential applications in large-area, low-cost and high performance polymeric electronic devices and circuits.

文摘The nucleation and growth mechanism and polymorph-property correlations in the molecular cocrystal field are widely sought but currently remain unclear. Herein, a new wire-like morphology of phenazine(Phz)-chloranilic acid(H2ca) cocrystal(PHC) is demonstrated for the first time, and the self-assembly of Phz and H2ca is controlled to selectively prepare kinetically stable wires and thermodynamically stable plates. Specifically, low precursor concentration is beneficial for one-dimensional(1D) self-assembly along the [010] crystallographic direction, while only supersaturation can trigger 2D self-assembly along the [100] and [010] directions, respectively. This is understandable in terms of the(020) face showing the largest attachment energy(Eatt) and the(002) face possessing the smallest surface energy(Esurf). Moreover, anisotropic Raman spectra related to the mode symmetry and atomic displacements in two types of PHCs are revealed, and the same Raman-active vibrational bands of PHC wire and plate show different polarization responses, which is intrinsically ascribed to their different molecular orientations.Overall, this is the first case that morphologies of cocrystal are precisely tuned with comprehensive investigations of their anisotropic vibrational characteristics.

文摘Memristors proposed by Leon Chua provide a new type of memory device for novel neuromorphic computing applications.However,the approaching of distinct multi‐intermediate states for tunable switching dynamics,the con-trolling of conducting filaments(CFs)toward high device repeatability and reproducibility,and the ability for large‐scale preparation devices,remain full of challenges.Here,we show that vertical‐organic‐nanocrystal‐arrays(VONAs)could make a way toward the challenges.The perfect one‐dimensional structure of the VONAs could confine the CFs accurately with fine‐tune resistance states in a broad range of 103 ratios.The availability of large‐area VONAs makes the fabrication of large‐area crossbar memristor arrays facilely,and the analog switching characteristic of the memristors is to effectively imitate different kinds of synaptic plasticity,indicating their great potential in future applications.

文摘The spinterface formed between ferromagnetic(FM)electrode and organic materials is vital for performance optimization in organic spin valve(OSV).Half-metallic Fe_(3)O_(4)with drastic change in structure,conductivity and magnetic property near Verwey transition can serve as an intrinsic spinterface regulator.However,such modulating effect of Fe_(3)O_(4)in OSV has not been comprehensively investigated,especially below the Verwey transition temperature(Tv).Here,we highlight the important role of Fe_(3)O_(4)electrode in reliable-working and controllable Fe_(3)O_(4)/P3HT/Co polymer spin valves by investigating the magnetoresistance(MR)above and below 7V.In order to distinguish between different contributions to charge transport and related MR responses,the systematic electronic and magnetic characterizations were carried out in full temperature range.Particularly,the first-order metal-insulator transition in Fe_(3)O_(4)has a dramatic effect on the MR enhancement of polymer spin valves at 7V.Moreover,both the conducting mode transformation and MR line shape modulation could be accomplished across 7V.This research renders unique scenario to multimodal storage by external thermodynamic parameters,and further reveals the importance of spin-dependent interfacial modification in polymer spin valves.

文摘Compact molecular packing with short π-π stacking and large π-overlap in organic semiconductors is desirable for efficient charge transport and high carrier mobility. Thus charge transport anisotropy along different directions is commonly observed in organic semiconductors. Interestingly, in this article, we found that comparable charge transport property were achieved based on the single crystals of a bis-fused tetrathiafulvalene derivative （EM-TTP） compound along two interaction directions, that is, the multiple strong S…S intermolecular interactions and the π-π stacking direction, with the measured electrical conductivity and hole mobility of 0.4 S cm-1, 0.94 cm2 V i s 1 and 0.2 S cm-1, 0.65 cm2 V-1 s-1, respectively. This finding provides us a new molecular design concept for developing novel organic semiconductors with isotropic charge transport property through the synergistic effect of multiple intermolecular interactions （such as π-π interactions） and π-π stacking.

文摘A novel semiconductor, dihexyl-substituted pentathienoacene(C6-PTA) is designed and synthesized in five steps with the total yield up to 25.2%. The introduction of hexyl chains endow the thin film semiconductor with about threefold increase in carrier mobility and one to three orders of magnitude improvement in current on/off ratio. Furthermore, single crystal FETs based on C6-PTA exhibited mobility up to 0.64 cm^2 V^(-1) s^(-1), which is over 50 times higher than the thin film counterpart. The results indicate clearly that C6-PTA is a promising organic semiconductor with high stability.

文摘The physical and chemical properties of organic semiconductors are closely related to their aggregation structure. Tuning of aggregation structure and electrical property is important for the application in organic electronics. In this study, a facile way to tune the aggregation structure and electrical property of 2.6-diphenyl-anthracene(DPA) is realized by using the octadecyltrichlorosilane(OTS) modification layer with different density which is fabricated by controlling reaction temperature and time.Compared with low density OTS, DPA forms larger grain size, less grain boundaries, and better molecular ordering on high density OTS surface. As a result, the charge transporting mobility of DPA film on high density OTS surface is about two orders of magnitude higher than that on low density OTS surface. The tunable aggregation structure and electrical property of DPA demonstrated here would be meaningful for the application of DPA in organic electronics.
