Graphene-organic hybrid thin films are promising candidates for use as advanced transparent electrodes and high-performance photodetectors. In this work, we fabricated hybrid thin film structures consisting of graphene and either tetraphenyl-porphyrin (H2TPP) or metalloporphyrins such as aluminum (III) tetraphenyl-porphyrin (Al(III)TPP) and zinc tetraphenyl-porphyrin (ZnTPP). The optical and electrical characteristics of ultrathin photodetectors based on the graphene-organic hybrid layers were subsequently evaluated. A hybrid deposition system capable of both thermal evaporation and vapor phase metalation was employed to synthesize the tunable metalloporphyrin-based thin films. As a proof of concept, we successfully fabricated various graphene-based photodetectors via the simple and efficient vapor-phase metalation of porphyrin. This work may facilitate the development of new architectures for flexible graphene-organic devices.

Three-dimensionally (3D) well-ordered and highly integrated graphene hybrid architectures are considered to be next-generation multifunctional graphene materials but still remain elusive. Here, we report the first realization of unprecedented 3D-patterned graphene nano-ensembles composed of a graphene monolayer, a tailor-made structured organophenyl layer, and three metal oxide films, providing the first example of such a hybrid nano-architecture. These spatially resolved and hierarchically structured quinary hybrids are generated via a two-dimensional (2D)-functionalization-mediated atomic layer deposition growth process, involving an initial lateral molecular programming of the graphene lattice via lithography-assisted 2D functionalization and a subsequent stepwise molecular assembly in these regions in the z-direction.

Among the family of 2D materials, graphene is the ideal candidate as top or interlayer electrode for hybrid van der Waals heterostructures made of organic thin films and 2D materials due to its high conductivity and mobility and its inherent ability of forming neat interfaces without diffusing in the adjacent organic layer. Understanding the charge injection mechanism at graphene/organic semiconductor interfaces is therefore crucial to develop organic electronic devices. In particular, Gr/C60 interfaces are promising building blocks for future n-type vertical organic transistors exploiting graphene as tunneling base electrode in a two back-to-back Gr/C60 Schottky diode configuration.

Hybrid van der Waals heterostructures based on 2D materials and/or organic thin films are being evaluated as potential functional devices for a variety of applications. In this context, the graphene/organic semiconductor (Gr/OSC) heterostructure could represent the core element to build future vertical organic transistors based on two back-to-back Gr/OSC diodes sharing a common graphene sheet, which functions as the base electrode. However, the assessment of the Gr/OSC potential still requires a deeper understanding of the charge carrier transport across the interface as well as the development of wafer-scale fabrication methods.

Development of graphene-organic hybrid electronics is one of the most promising directions for next-generation electronic materials. However, it remains challenging to understand the graphene-organic semiconductor interactions right at the interface, which is key to designing hybrid electronics. Herein, we study the influence of graphene on the multiscale morphology of solution-processed monolayers of conjugated polymers (PII-2T, DPP-BTz, DPP2T-TT, and DPP-T-TMS).

One of the most popular approaches to improve the performance of organic photonic devices has been to control the electrically heterogeneous charge-transferring interfaces via chemical modifications. Despite intense research efforts, however, the rapid pace of material evolution through the chemical versatility of the organic compound allows only limited room for the fine-tuning of the interfaces exclusive to specific materials. This limitation leads to an ill-controlled charge recombination behavior that relies solely on the inherent characteristics of each material; thus, the common device architecture cannot harness its full potential.
