Organic semiconductors have game-changing potential
With their lower weight, production costs, and temperature processing, as well as advanced mechanical flexibility, increased abundancy and sustainability, organic semiconductors present huge opportunities for the electronics industry compared to their traditional counterparts. Easily fabricated via deposition on flexible substrates, allowing for the development of bendable circuitry, organic semiconductor materials offer particular advantages for the development of biomedical devices, foldable solar cells, and nanoscale applications.
Challenges for advancing organic semiconductor research
With organic semiconductor materials garnering increasing interest, thiophene-based organic molecules have emerged as a popular research topic. Modifying the structure of thiophene polymers alters the electrical properties, and precise tuning can be achieved with molecular doping, however, identifying suitable molecules and doping agents from a vast range of compounds and permutations is a challenge for researchers.
