The development of semiconducting polymers with good processability in green solvents and competitive electrical performance is essential for realizing sustainable large-scale manufacturing and commercialization of organic electronics. A major obstacle is the processability-performance dichotomy that is dictated by the lack of ideal building blocks with balanced polarity, solubility, electronic structures, and molecular conformation. Herein, through the integration of donor, quinoid and acceptor units, an unprecedented building block, namely TQBT, is introduced for constructing a serial of conjugated polymers.

Article Synopsis
  • Enhancing the solution-processability of conjugated polymers (CPs) is critical for improving charge transport in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), but usually leads to a trade-off between solubility and crystallinity.
  • Researchers developed a new quinoid-donor conjugated polymer, PA4T-Ra, through a skeletal randomization strategy, achieving both improved solubility and crystallinity.
  • The PA4T-Ra-based OFETs exhibited an exceptional hole mobility of 3.11 cm V s, significantly outperforming other polymers, suggesting that random polymer structures can enhance crystallinity rather than diminish it.

Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are attractive for a digital spectrometer due to its advantages of digital signal processing. However, how to improve the versatility of the spectrometer and increase the operating frequency of the digital shaper has gradually become a limitation that needs to be resolved in the FPGA-based spectrometer. A solution to improve the universality of the FPGA-based digital spectroscopy system is presented in this work, and the implementation of the real-time digital signal processing unit is improved to obtain a higher operating frequency, and then the optimal parameters of the digital trapezoidal shaper and the processing unit are also discussed through a series of experiments; finally, a FPGA-based digital spectrometer is developed.
