Two conjugated polymers, IIDDT and IIDT, based on an isoindigo core were developed for organic field-effect transisitors. Investigation of their field-effect performance indicated that IIDDT exhibited air-stable mobility up to 0.79 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1), which is quite high among polymer FET materials. The facile preparation and high mobility of such polymers make isoindigo-based polymers very promising for application as solution-processable organic semiconductors for optoelectronic devices.

The sluggish kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) result in a high overpotential in alkaline solutions. A high-curvature metal oxide heterostructure can effectively boost the electrocatalytic HER by leveraging the tip-enhanced local electric field effect. Herein, NiP/NiMoO nanocones were synthesised on a nickel foam (NF) substrate by etching a metal-organic framework template.

This study explores the concept of molecular orbital tuning for organic semiconductors through the use of '-diethynylated derivatives of 6,13-dihydro-6,13-diazapentacene ( and ). These novel molecules maintain the same molecular geometry and π-π stacking as their parent pentacene derivatives ( and ), as confirmed by X-ray crystallography. However, they exhibit altered frontier molecular orbitals in terms of the phase, nodal properties, and energy levels.

A device architecture based on heterostructure WSe/organic semiconductor field-effect transistors (FETs) is demonstrated in which ambipolar conduction is virtually eliminated, resulting in essentially unipolar FETs realized from an ambipolar semiconductor. For p-channel FETs, an electron-accepting organic semiconductor such as hexadecafluorocopperphthalocyanine (FCuPc) is used to form a heterolayer on top of WSe to effectively trap any undesirable electron currents. For n-channel FETs, a hole-accepting organic semiconductor such as pentacene is used to reduce the hole currents without affecting the electron currents.

Poly(p-phenylenevinylene) (PPV) is a classic semiconducting π-conjugated polymer with outstanding optical and electronic properties, which shows important applications in the fields of optoelectronic, such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic solar cells (OSCs), and organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). In the working process of the device, the microstate of PPV decides its property. Therefore, it is significant to achieve ordered morphologies based on PPV at micro scale.

The development of stable and tunable polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) is crucial for the advancement of organic optoelectronics. Conventional PACs, such as acenes, often suffer from poor stability due to photooxidation and oligomerization, which are linked to their frontier molecular orbital energy levels. To address these limitations, we designed and synthesized a new class of π-expanded indoloindolizines by merging indole and indolizine moieties into a single polycyclic framework.
