Currently, the development of polymeric hole-transporting materials (HTMs) lags behind that of small-molecule HTMs in inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs). A critical challenge is that conventional polymeric HTMs are incapable of forming ultra-thin and conformal coatings like self-assembly monolayers (SAMs), especially for substrates with rough surface morphology. Herein, we address this challenge by designing anchorable polymeric HTMs (CP1 to CP5).

The future of next-generation electronics relies on low-cost organic semiconductors that are tailored to simultaneously provide all requisite optoelectronic properties, focusing greatly on ambipolar charge-transport and solution processability. In this regard, room-temperature discotic liquid crystals (DLCs) are potential candidates, where quasi-1D self-assembly affords a charge-transport channel along their columnar axis. This work shows a molecular design strategy by utilizing anthraquinone as the primary motif, surrounded by ester functionalized tri-alkoxy phenyl units to develop room-temperature DLCs (1.

Solution-processable 2D materials are promising candidates for a range of printed electronics applications. Yet maximizing their potential requires solution-phase processing of nanosheets into high-quality networks with carrier mobility (μ) as close as possible to that of individual nanosheets (μ). In practice, the presence of internanosheet junctions generally limits electronic conduction, such that the ratio of junction resistance () to nanosheet resistance (), determines the network mobility via μ/μ ≈ / + 1.

To date, the development of high-performance n-type organic semiconductors has remained challenging due to the scarcity of highly electron-deficient π-conjugated structural units and the difficulty of controlling intermolecular packing in the thin-film state. In addition, there have been few reports on the use of dimer design to tune the optoelectronic properties of materials. Herein, we report new cyano-substituted fluoranthene imide-based dimers (F16 and F17) for small-molecule n-type organic semiconductors.
