Article Synopsis
  • The study highlights that modifying organic thin films can significantly enhance the performance of optoelectronic devices but poses unique challenges compared to traditional inorganic surfaces.
  • It finds that large molecules can still access the subsurface of pentacene, and that reactions can occur in three different areas (surface, subsurface, and bulk) within a specific temperature range (30-75 °C).
  • The research uses advanced techniques to connect the reaction kinetics with how different adsorbates interact with the thin film, suggesting that these interactions are governed by factors like reactivity and diffusivity rather than just chemical barriers, which could inform future developments in flexible electronic devices.
