Air stable n-type conductive molecules with high electrical conductivities and excellent device performance have important applications in organic electronics, but their synthesis remains challenging. Herein, we report three self-doped n-type conductive molecules, designated QnNs, with a closed-shell quinoidal backbone and alkyl amino chains of different lengths. The QnNs are self-doped by intermolecular electron transfer from the amino groups to the quinoidal backbone.

The development of high-performance organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) materials is vital for flexible electronics. Numerous OTFTs are so far reported but obtaining high-performance and reliable OTFTs simultaneously for flexible electronics is still challenging. Herein, it is reported that self-doping in conjugated polymer enables high unipolar n-type charge mobility in flexible OTFTs, as well as good operational/ambient stability and bending resistance.

The electron transport layer (ETL) exerts a dramatic influence on the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the nonfullerene organic solar cells (NOSCs). Currently, the majority of the organic ETLs possess a relatively poor conductivity, which is not conducive to carrier transport and collection. Herein, we design and develop a novel hyperbranched conjugated polyelectrolyte (CPE) based on n-type perylene diimide (PDI) as the center core and quaternary ammonium salt as the side polar groups.
