Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is increasingly seen as a future concern, but antibiotics are still commonly used in animals, leading to their accumulation in humans through the food chain and posing health risks. The development of nanomaterials has opened up possibilities for creating new sensing strategies to detect antibiotic residues, resulting in the emergence of innovative nanobiosensors with different benefits like rapidity, simplicity, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and precision. Therefore, this comprehensive review provides pertinent and current insights into nanomaterials-based electrochemical/optical sensors for the detection of antibitic residues (ANBr) across milk and dairy products. Here, we first discuss the commonly used ANBs in real products, the significance of ANBr, and also their binding/biological properties. Then, we provide an overview of the role of using different nanomaterials on the development of advanced nanobiosensors like fluorescence-based, colorimetric, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, surface plasmon resonance, and several important electrochemical nanobiosensors relying on different kinds of electrodes. The enhancement of ANB electrochemical behavior for detection is also outlined, along with a concise overview of the utilization of (bio)recognition units. Ultimately, this paper offers a perspective on the future concepts of this research field and commercialized nanomaterial-based sensors to help upgrade the sensing techniques for ANBr in dairy products.

Abstract
Two fully fused acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A) architecture conjugated derivatives (NPF and NCF) comprising an electron-withdrawing naphthalimide (NMI) and two different electron-donating cores, phenanthrene and carbazole, respectively, were conveniently synthesized by bismuth(III)-catalyzed selective cyclization of vinyl ethers. Compared with their corresponding single bond-linked A-D-A molecules NPS and NCS, both having a moderately twisted aromatic configuration, the ring fusion strategy leads to fully coplanar conjugated skeletons and greatly changes the electronic structures, photophysical properties, self-assembling behaviors, and molecular packing motifs. In particular, the naphthalimide/carbazole derivative NCF exhibits intriguing 2D brickwork packing and significantly enhanced self-assembling properties.

Abstract
Quantum-dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs), a kind of promising optoelectronic device, demonstrate potential superiority in next-generation display technology. Thermal cross-linked hole transport materials (HTMs) have been employed in solution-processed QLEDs due to their excellent thermal stability and solvent resistance, whereas the unbalanced charge injection and high cross-linking temperature of cross-linked HTMs can inhibit the efficiency of QLEDs and limit their application. Herein, a low-temperature cross-linked HTM of 4,4'-bis(3-(((4-vinylbenzyl)oxy)methyl)-9H-carbazol-9-yl)-1,1'-biphenyl (DV-CBP) with a flexible styrene side chain is introduced, which reduces the cross-linking temperature to 150 °C and enhances the hole mobility up to 1.01 × 10-3 cm2 V-1 s-1. More importantly, the maximum external quantum efficiency of 21.35% is successfully obtained on the basis of the DV-CBP as a cross-linked hole transport layer (HTL) for blue QLEDs. The low-temperature cross-linked high-mobility HTL using flexible side chains could be an excellent alternative for future HTL development.

Abstract
Polymer semiconductors hold tremendous potential for applications in flexible devices, which is however hindered by the fact that they are usually processed by halogenated solvents rather than environmentally more friendly solvents. An effective strategy to boost the solubility of high-performance polymer semiconductors in nonhalogenated solvents such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) by appending hydroxyl groups in the side chains is herein presented. The results show that hydroxyl groups, which can be easily incorporated into the side chains, can significantly improve the solubility of typical p- and n-types as well as ambipolar polymer semiconductors in THF. Meanwhile, the thin films of these polymer semiconductors from the respective THF solutions show high charge mobilities. With THF as the processing and developing solvents these polymer semiconductors with hydroxyl groups in the side chains can be well photopatterned in the presence of the photo-crosslinker, and the charge mobilities of the patterned thin films are mostly maintained by comparing with those of the respective pristine thin films. Notably, THF is successfully utilized as the processing and developing solvent to achieve high-density photopatterning with ≈82 000 device arrays cm-2 for polymer semiconductors in which hydroxyl groups are appended in the side chains.

Abstract
Organic semiconductors have great potential to revolutionize electronics by enabling flexible and eco-friendly manufacturing of electronic devices on plastic film substrates. Recent research and development led to the creation of printed displays, radio-frequency identification tags, smart labels, and sensors based on organic electronics. Over the last 3 decades, significant progress has been made in realizing electronic devices with unprecedented features, such as wearable sensors, disposable electronics, and foldable displays, through the exploitation of desirable characteristics in organic electronics. Neverthless, the down-scalability of organic electronic devices remains a crucial consideration. To address this, efforts are extensively explored. It is of utmost importance to further develop these alternative patterning methods to overcome the downscaling challenge. This review comprehensively discusses the efforts and strategies aimed at overcoming the limitations of downscaling in organic semiconductors, with a particular focus on four main areas: 1) lithography-compatible organic semiconductors, 2) fine patterning of printing methods, 3) organic material deposition on pre-fabricated devices, and 4) vertical-channeled organic electronics. By discussing these areas, the full potential of organic semiconductors can be unlocked, and the field of flexible and sustainable electronics can be advanced.

Abstract
ConspectusIn recent decades, there has been rapid development in the field of polymer semiconductors, particularly those based on conjugated donor-acceptor (D-A) polymers exhibiting high charge mobilities. Furthermore, the application of polymer semiconductors has been successfully extended to a wide range of functional devices, including sensors, photodetectors, radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, electronic paper, skin electronics, and artificial synapses. Over the past few years, there has been a growing focus on stimuli-responsive polymer semiconductors, which have the potential to impart additional functionalities to conventional field-effect transistors, garnering increased attention within the research community. In this context, phototunable polymer semiconductors have received significant attention due to their ability to utilize light as an external stimulus, enabling remote control of device performance with high spatiotemporal resolution. Meanwhile, integration of field-effect transistors with polymer semiconductors can enable the realization of complex functions. To achieve this, precise and controllable patterning of polymer semiconductors becomes essential. In this Account, we discuss our research findings in the context of phototunable and photopatternable polymer semiconductors. These developments encompass the following key aspects: (i) polymer semiconductors, such as poly(diketopyrrolopyrrole-quaterthiophene) (PDPP4T), exhibit phototunability when blended with the photochromic compound hexaarylbiimidazole (HABI). The photo/thermal-responsive field-effect transistors (FETs) can be fabricated using blending thin films. Remarkably, these photo/thermal-responsive transistors can function as photonically programmable and thermally erasable nonvolatile memory devices. (ii) By incorporating photoswitchable groups like azo and spiropyran into the side chains of conjugated D-A polymers, we can create phototunable polymer semiconductors. The reversible isomerization of azo and spiropyran groups significantly influences the charge transport properties of these polymer semiconductors. Consequently, the performance of the resulting FETs can be reversibly tuned through UV/visible or near-infrared light (NIR) irradiation. Notably, the incorporation of two distinct azo groups into the side chains leads to polymer semiconductors with tristable semiconducting states, offering the ability to logically control device performance using light irradiation at three different wavelengths. (iii) Photopatterning of p-type, n-type, and ambipolar semiconductors featuring alkyl side chains can be achieved using a diazirine-based, four-armed photo-cross-linker (4CNN) with a loading concentration of no more than 3% (w/w). Furthermore, the semiconducting performances of FETs with patterned thin films were found to be satisfactorily uniform. Importantly, the cross-linked thin films are robust and show good resistance to organic solvents, which is useful for fabricating all-solution processable multilayer electronic devices. (iv) The introduction of azide groups into the side chains of conjugated polymers results in a single-component semiconducting photoresist. The presence of azide groups renders the side chains with photo-cross-linking ability, enabling the successful formation of uniform patterns, even as small as 5 μm, under UV light irradiation. Benefiting from the single component feature, field-effect transistors with individual patterned thin films display satisfactorily uniform performances. Moreover, this semiconducting photoresist has proven effective for efficiently photopatterning other polymer semiconductors, demonstrating its versatility.

Abstract
Hierarchical structure of conjugated polymers is critical to dominating their optoelectronic properties and applications. Compared to nonplanar conformational segments, coplanar conformational segments of conjugated polymers (CPs) demonstrate favorable properties for applications as a semiconductor. Herein, recent developments in the coplanar conformational structure of CPs for optoelectronic devices are summarized. First, this review comprehensively summarizes the unique properties of planar conformational structures. Second, the characteristics of the coplanar conformation in terms of optoelectrical properties and other polymer physics characteristics are emphasized. Five primary characterization methods for investigating the complanate backbone structures are illustrated, providing a systematical toolbox for studying this specific conformation. Third, internal and external conditions for inducing the coplanar conformational structure are presented, offering guidelines for designing this conformation. Fourth, the optoelectronic applications of this segment, such as light-emitting diodes, solar cells, and field-effect transistors, are briefly summarized. Finally, a conclusion and outlook for the coplanar conformational segment regarding molecular design and applications are provided.

Abstract
This work presents a new strategy to achieve a truly black electrochromic film and develop available intelligent eye-protection filters with "day mode" and "night mode", promising to minimize the harmful effects of light on eyes. The soluble red-to-transparent electrochromic polymer P1 was constructed using quinacridone as the basic unit and introduced dual-donor proDOT and DTC units with similar electron-donating capabilities. The beneficial broader absorption associated with the dual-donor in P1 results in ideal spectrum complementarity with P2 (cyan-to-transparent) in the visible region (380-780 nm). In addition to complementary colors, both polymers exhibit good compatibility with respect to electrochemical and electrochromic properties. Therefore, a P1/P2 film with a mass ratio of 1:1.5 for blending is preferred to obtain truly black color with fast switching time and good cyclic stability. Furthermore, an electrochromic device for intelligent eye-protection filters was designed and assembled with the P1/P2 film as the electrochromic layer and P3 featuring a yellow (antiblue ray)-to-dark gray color change as the ion storage layer. The assembled prototype electrochromic device demonstrated promising applications in intelligent day-night optical adjustment for eye-protection filters.

This work presents a new strategy to achieve highly stable electrochromic devices and bilayer film construction. A novel solution-processable electrochromic polymer P1-Boc with quinacridone as the conjugated backbone and t-Boc as N-substituted non-conjugated solubilizing groups is designed. Thermal annealing of P1-Boc film results in the cleavage of t-Boc groups and the formation of N─H⋯O═C hydrogen-bonding crosslinked network, which changes its intrinsic solubility characteristics into a solvent-resistant P1 film. This film retains the electrochemical behavior and spectroelectrochemistry properties of the original P1-Boc film. Intriguingly, the electrochromic device based on the P1 film exhibits an ultrafast switching time (0.56/0.80 s at 523 nm) and robust electrochromic stability (retaining 88.4% of the initial optical contrast after 100 000 cycles). The observed cycle lifetime is one of the highest reported for all-organic electrochromic devices. In addition, a black-transparent bilayer electrochromic film P1/P2 is developed in which the use of the solvent-resistant P1 film as the bottom layer avoids interface erosion of the solution-processable polymer in a multilayer stacking.

Abstract
The construction of 1,2-position-connected azulene oligomers was achieved. In the crystal packing structure of the terazulene, two molecules of (Ra )- and (Sa )-configurations formed a pair. Variable temperature NMR measurements and theoretical calculations of the quaterazulene suggest that the helical and syn-type structure with terminal azulene overlap is more stable. Two kinds of fused terazulenes (1,2''-closed and 1,8''-closed) were also synthesized by intramolecular Pd-catalyzed C-H/C-Br arylation of the terazulene moieties. X-ray structure analysis of 1,2''-closed terazulene revealed a planar structure, while an analysis of 1,8''-closed terazulene performed on a C60 co-crystal revealed a curved structure forming a 1 : 1 complex covering the co-crystal. Nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) calculations carried out for the central seven-membered ring of 1,8''-closed terazulene showed a positive value, suggesting anti-aromatic properties.

Abstract
Rational selection and design of recombination electrodes (RCEs) are crucial to enhancing the power conversion efficiency (PCE) and stability of monolithic tandem solar cells (TSCs). Sputtered indium tin oxide (ITO) with high conductivity and excellent transmittance is introduced as RCE in perovskite/organic TSCs. To prevent high-energy ITO particles destroy the underlying material during sputtering, dual-functional transport and protective layer (C1) is employed. The styryl group in C1 can be thermally crosslinked to serve as a sputtering protective layer. Meanwhile, the conjugated phenanthroline skeleton in C1 shows high electron mobility and hole blocking capability to promote the electron transport process at the interfaces and effectively reduce charge accumulation. Monolithic perovskite/organic TSC with high PCE of 24.07% and excellent stability is demonstrated by stacking a 1.77 eV bandgap perovskite layer and a 1.35 eV bandgap organic active layer. This strategy provides new insights for overcoming the fundamental efficiency limits of single-junction devices and promotes the further development of TSC devices.

Abstract
The possibility of generating regions with different electronic properties within the same organic semiconductor thin film could offer novel opportunities for designing and fabricating organic electronic devices and circuits. This study introduces a new approach based on a novel type of highly processable polymer precursor that can yield two different conjugated polymers characterized by complementary electronic properties, i.e. promoting electron or hole transport, from the same starting material. In particular, these multipotent precursors comprise functionalized dihydroanthracene units that can offer several functionalization opportunities to improve the solubility or insert specific functionalities. This strategy also allows for the preparation of high-molecular-weight conjugated polymers comprising diethynylanthracene and anthraquinone units without the need for solubilizing side chains. Thin films of the polymer precursor can be used, after solid-state transformations, to prepare single organic layers comprising regions characterized by different chemical nature and electronic properties. Here, we present a detailed characterization of the chemical and electronic properties of the precursor and the obtained conjugated polymers, showing how it is possible to harvest their characteristics for potential applications such as electrochromic surfaces and organic field-effect transistors.

Abstract
The introduction of diarylamino groups at the 2- and 6-positions of azulene was found to invert the order of the orbital energy levels and allowed the HOMO-LUMO transition, resulting in a substantial increase in absorbance in the visible region. In addition, the stability of their one-electron oxidised species was improved by introducing bromine or methoxy groups at the 1- and 3-positions.

Abstract
Emissive organic semiconductors are highly demanding for organic light-emitting transistors (OLETs) and electrically pumped organic lasers (EPOLs). However, it remains a great challenge to obtain organic semiconductors with high carrier mobility and high photoluminescence quantum yield simultaneously. Here, a new design strategy is reported for highly emissive ambipolar and even n-type semiconductors by introducing perfluorophenyl groups into polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as perylene and anthracene. The results reveal that 3,9-diperfluorophenyl perylene (5FDPP) exhibits the ambipolar semiconducting property with hole and electron mobilities up to 0.12 and 1.89 cm2 V-1 s-1 , and a photoluminescence quantum yield of 55%. One of the crystal forms of 5FDPA exhibits blue emission with an emission quantum yield of 52% and simultaneously shows the n-type semiconducting property with an electron mobility up to 2.65 cm2 V-1 s-1 , which is the highest value among the reported organic emissive n-type semiconductors. Furthermore, crystals of 5FDPP are utilized to fabricate OLETs by using Ag as source-drain electrodes. The electroluminescence is detected in the transporting channels with an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of up to 2.2%, and the current density is up to 145 kA cm-2 , which are among the highest values for single-component OLETs with symmetric electrodes.

Abstract
Intrinsically stretchable polymer semiconductors are highly demanding for flexible electronics. However, it still remains challenging to achieve synergy between intrinsic stretchability and charge transport property properly for polymer semiconductors. In this paper, terpolymers are reported as intrinsically stretchable polymeric semiconductors with good ductility and high charge mobility simultaneously by incorporation of non-centrosymmetric spiro[cycloalkane-1,9'-fluorene] (spiro-fluorene) units into the backbone of diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) based conjugated polymers. The results reveal that these terpolymers show obviously high crack onset strains and their tensile moduli are remarkably reduced, by comparing with the parent DPP-based conjugated polymer without spiro-fluorene units. They exhibit simultaneously high charge mobilities (>1.0 cm2 V-1 s-1 ) at 100% strain and even after repeated stretching and releasing cycles for 500 times under 50% strain. The terpolymer P2, in which cyclopropane is linked to the spiro-fluorene unit, is among the best reported intrinsically stretchable polymer semiconductors with record mobility up to 3.1 cm2 V-1 s-1 at even 150% strain and 1.4 cm2 V-1 s-1 after repeated stretching and releasing cycles for 1000 times.

Abstract
Fibers, originating from nature and mastered by human, have woven their way throughout the entire history of human civilization. Recent developments in semiconducting polymer materials have further endowed fibers and textiles with various electronic functions, which are attractive in applications such as information interfacing, personalized medicine, and clean energy. Owing to their ability to be easily integrated into daily life, soft fiber electronics based on semiconducting polymers have gained popularity recently for wearable and implantable applications. Herein, we present a review of the previous and current progress in semiconducting polymer-based fiber electronics, particularly focusing on smart-wearable and implantable areas. First, we provide a brief overview of semiconducting polymers from the viewpoint of materials based on the basic concepts and functionality requirements of different devices. Then we analyze the existing applications and associated devices such as information interfaces, healthcare and medicine, and energy conversion and storage. The working principle and performance of semiconducting polymer-based fiber devices are summarized. Furthermore, we focus on the fabrication techniques of fiber devices. Based on the continuous fabrication of one-dimensional fiber and yarn, we introduce two- and three-dimensional fabric fabricating methods. Finally, we review challenges and relevant perspectives and potential solutions to address the related problems.

Abstract
One-dimensional multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) have unique electrical properties, but they are not solution-processable, which severely limits their applications in microelectronic devices. Therefore, it is of great significance to improve the solubility of MWNTs and endow them with new functions by chemical modification. In this work, MWNTs were in situ functionalized with poly[(1,4-diethynyl-benzene)-alt-(3-hexylthiophene)] (PDHT) via Sonogashira-Hagihara polymerization. The obtained material PDHT-g-MWNTs was soluble in conventional organic solvents. By sandwiching a PDHT-g-MWNTs film between Al and ITO electrodes, the fabricated Al/PDHT-g-MWNTs/ITO electronic device exhibited nonvolatile rewritable memory behavior, with highly symmetrical turn-on/off voltages, a retention time of over 104 s, and durability for 200 switching cycles. These findings provide important insights into the development of carbon nanotube-based materials for information storage.

Abstract
Interfacing the surface of an organic semiconductor with biological elements is a central quest when it comes to the development of efficient organic bioelectronic devices. Here, we present the first example of "clickable" organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs). The synthesis and characterization of an azide-derivatized EDOT monomer (azidomethyl-EDOT, EDOT-N3) are reported, as well as its deposition on Au-interdigitated electrodes through electropolymerization to yield PEDOT-N3-OECTs. The electropolymerization protocol allows for a straightforward and reliable tuning of the characteristics of the OECTs, yielding transistors with lower threshold voltages than PEDOT-based state-of-the-art devices and maximum transconductance voltage values close to 0 V, a key feature for the development of efficient organic bioelectronic devices. Subsequently, the azide moieties are employed to click alkyne-bearing molecules such as redox probes and biorecognition elements. The clicking of an alkyne-modified PEG4-biotin allows for the use of the avidin-biotin interactions to efficiently generate bioconstructs with proteins and enzymes. In addition, a dibenzocyclooctyne-modified thrombin-specific HD22 aptamer is clicked on the PEDOT-N3-OECTs, showing the application of the devices toward the development of organic transistors-based biosensors. Finally, the clicked OECTs preserve their electronic features after the different clicking procedures, demonstrating the stability and robustness of the fabricated transistors.

Abstract
Aromatic polymers are the first-choice platform for current organic materials due to their distinct optical, electronic, and mechanical properties as well as their biocompatibility. However, bare aromatic polymer backbones tend to strongly aggregate, rendering them essentially insoluble in organic solvent. While the typical solution is to install many solubilizing substituents on the backbones, this often provokes undesired property changes. Herein, we report the synthesis of bare aromatic polymers enabled by a dendrimer support. An initiator arene containing a diterpenoid-based dendrimer undergoes Pd-catalyzed polymerization with monomers bearing no solubilizing substituents to furnish bare aromatic polymers such as polythiophenes and poly(para-phenylene)s. The high solubility of dendrimer-ligated polymers allows not only the unveiling of the properties of unsubstituted π-conjugated backbone, but also mild release of dendrimer-free aromatic polymers and even transfer of aromatic polymers to other materials, such as silica gel and protein, which may accelerate the creation of hybrid materials nowadays challenging to access. Unsubstituted aromatic polymers are materials with multiple potential applications, but their preparation remains challenging. Here, the authors report a dendrimer-enabled synthesis of soluble bare aromatic polymers and explore their properties; these compounds can be further transformed into other materials.

Abstract
Polymeric hole-transport materials (HTMs) have been widely used in quantum-dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs). However, their solution processability normally causes interlayer erosion and unstable film state, leading to undesired device performance. Besides, the imbalance of hole and electron transport in QLEDs also damages the device interfaces. In this study, we designed a bis-diazo compound, X1, as carbene cross-linker for polymeric HTM. Irradiated by ultraviolet and heating, a poly[(9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl)-alt(4,4'-(N-(4-butylphenyl))] (TFB)/X1 blend can achieve fast "electronically clean" cross-linking with ∼100% solvent resistance. The cross-linking reduced the stacking behaviors of TFB and thus led to a lower hole-transport mobility, whereas it was a good match of electron mobility. The carbene-mediated TFB cross-linking also downshifted the HOMO level from -5.3 to -5.5 eV, delivering a smaller hole-transport energy barrier. Benefiting from these, the cross-linked QLED showed enhanced device performances over the pristine device, with EQE, power efficiency, and current efficiency being elevated by nearly 20, 15, and 83%, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report about a bis-diazo compound based carbene cross-linker built into a polymeric HTM for a QLED with enhanced device performance.

Abstract
Reliable patterning of organic semiconductors (OSCs) with high uniformity is essential to all-photolithography organic electronics. However, the majority of cross-linked OSCs experience performance fluctuations after photolithography because of the inherent vulnerability of low-ordered regions. Herein, we develop an anti-solution penetration photolithography process to achieve the reliable patterning of the OSC layer for all-photolithography integrated organic electronics. Using a thick and highly cross-linked semiconductor film and a low-solubility developer, an erosion-free semiconductor channel is obtained with a high mobility of up to 1.254 cm2 V-1 s-1 and a uniform threshold voltage close to zero. Compared with existing all-photolithography organic circuits, the unit logic gate area consumption is lower by 1-3 orders of magnitude at 0.0069 mm2, while the transistor density is higher by 1-2 orders of magnitude at 6780 Tr cm-2. The miniaturized organic inverters maintain uncompromised voltage gains, and the 15-stage organic ring oscillators feature higher oscillation frequencies, making them promising for applications in wide-ranging integrated organic circuits.

Abstract
Five-membered aromatic rings containing Group 16 elements (O, S, Se, and Te), also referred as chalcogenophenes, are ubiquitous building blocks for π-conjugated polymers (CPs). Among these, polythiophenes have been established as a model system to study the interplay between molecular structure, solid-state organization, and electronic performance. The judicious substitution of alternative heteroatoms into polythiophenes is a promising strategy for tuning their properties and improving the performance of derived organic electronic devices, thus leading to the recent abundance of CPs containing furan, selenophene, and tellurophene. In this review, we first discuss the current status of Kumada, Negishi, Murahashi, Suzuki-Miyaura, and direct arylation polymerizations, representing the best routes to access well-defined chalcogenophene-containing homopolymers and copolymers. The self-assembly, optical, solid-state, and electronic properties of these polymers and their influence on device performance are then summarized. In addition, we highlight post-polymerization modifications as effective methods to transform polychalcogenophene backbones or side chains in ways that are unobtainable by direct polymerization. Finally, the major challenges and future outlook in this field are presented.

Abstract
We report the electron-beam induced crosslinking of cinnamate-substituted polythiophene proceeding via excited state [2+2]-cycloaddition. Network formation in thin films is evidenced by infrared spectroscopy and film retention experiments. For the polymer studied herin, the electron-stimulated process appears to be superior to photo (UV)-induced crosslinking as it leads to less degradation. Electron beam lithography (EBL) patterns cinnamate-substituted polythiophene thin films on the nanoscale with a resolution of around 100 nm. As a proof of concept, we fabricated nanoscale organic transistors using doped and cross-linked P3ZT as contact fingers in thin film transistors. Electron beam lithography patterns selectively cinnamate-substituted polythiophene thin films via [2+2]-cycloaddition. A nanoscale organic field effect transistor is constructed using cross-linked and doped polythiophene as electrodes.![]()

Abstract
The organic-inorganic halide perovskite solar cell (PerSC) is the state-of-the-art emerging photovoltaic technology. However, the environmental water/moisture and temperature-induced intrinsic degradation and phase transition of perovskite greatly retard the commercialization process. Herein, a dual-functional organic ligand, 4,7-bis((4-vinylbenzyl)oxy)-1,10-phenanthroline (namely, C1), with crosslinkable styrene side-chains and chelatable phenanthroline backbone, synthesized via a cost-effective Williamson reaction, is introduced for collaborative electrode interface and perovskite grain boundaries (GBs) engineering. C1 can chemically chelate with Sn4+ in the SnO2 electron transport layer and Pb2+ in the perovskite layer via coordination bonds, suppressing nonradiative recombination caused by traps/defects existing at the interface and GBs. Meanwhile, C1 enables in situ crosslinking via thermal-initiated polymerization to form a hydrophobic and stable polymer network, freezing perovskite morphology, and resisting moisture degradation. Consequently, through collaborative interface-grain engineering, the resulting PerSCs demonstrate high power conversion efficiency of 24.31% with excellent water/moisture and thermal stability. The findings provide new insights of collaborative interface-grain engineering via a crosslinkable and chelatable organic ligand for achieving efficient and stable PerSCs.

Abstract
In this study, we have reported an efficient and stable degradation of pollutants at salinity condition using newly developed solar-light-driven silicone-TiO2 based photocatalytic immobilized system. The interfacial layer of Silicone-PEG-P/Ag/Ag2O/Ag3PO4/TiO2 (S-PEG/PAgT) photocatalyst exhibited higher surface roughness, hydrophobicity, better light absorption, and narrow band gap than S-TiO2. The Rh B degradation by S-PEG/PAgT (91.2%) was 1.71 folds higher than S-TiO2 (53.5%) under simulated solar light irradiation. The reduction rate was significantly higher in S-PEG/PAgT (0.0792 min-1) than S-TiO2 (0.0229 min-1). The S-PEG/PAgT demonstrated high TOC removal (>80%), high repeatability (10 cycles) and excellent activity after 30 days of incubation in aqueous NaCl. The mechanism analysis revealed the synergistic effect of surface morphology with irregular chamfered edges and photoinduced reactive species (O2-) with successive formation of free chlorine radicals (Cl) contributed to the removal of pollutants in saline wastewater. Therefore, considering the above advantages of high efficiency and effective elimination of organics illustrates the potential of newly developed S-PEG/PAgT immobilized system in long-term practical treatment real seawater and ballast water.

Integrating charge mobility, stability and stretchability within conjugated polymer films for stretchable multifunctional sensors. Nat Commun 2022; 13:2739. [PMID: 35585062 PMCID: PMC9117230 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-022-30361-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2021] [Accepted: 04/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Conjugated polymers (CPs) are promising semiconductors for intrinsically stretchable electronic devices. Ideally, such CPs should exhibit high charge mobility, excellent stability, and high stretchability. However, converging all these desirable properties in CPs has not been achieved via molecular design and/or device engineering. This work details the design, synthesis and characterization of a random polythiophene (RP-T50) containing ~50 mol% of thiophene units with a thermocleavable tertiary ester side chain and ~50 mol% of unsubstituted thiophene units, which, upon thermocleavage of alkyl chains, shows significant improvement of charge mobility and stability. Thermal annealing a RP-T50 film coated on a stretchable polydimethylsiloxane substrate spontaneously generates wrinkling in the polymer film, which effectively enhances the stretchability of the polymer film. The wrinkled RP-T50-based stretchable sensors can effectively detect humidity, ethanol, temperature and light even under 50% uniaxial and 30% biaxial strains. Our discoveries offer new design rationale of strategically applying CPs to intrinsically stretchable electronic systems. Conjugated polymers are promising semiconductors for stretchable electronic devices but combining important properties such as high charge mobility, stability and stretchability remains challenging. Here, the authors demonstrate the synthesis of a thiophene based semiconducting polymer with cleavable side chains which shows significant improvement of charge mobility, stability and stretchability.

Abstract
Molecular systems that can function as photoresists are essential for the fabrication of flexible electronics through all-photolithographic processes. Most of the reported molecular systems for photo-patterning of polymeric semiconductors contain binary or multi-components. In comparison, single component semiconducting photoresist is advantageous since it will circumvent the optimization of phase separation and ensure the patterned semiconducting thin films to be more uniform. In this paper, a single component semiconducting photoresist (PDPP4T-N3 ) by incorporating azide groups into the branching alkyl chains of a diketopyrrolopyrrole-based conjugated polymer is reported. The results reveal that i) the azide groups make the side chains to be photo-cross-linkable; ii) uniform patterns with size as small as 5 µm form under mild UV irradiation (365 nm, 85 mW cm-2 ) at ambient conditions; iii) such photo-induced cross-linking does not affect the inter-chain packing; iv) benefiting from the single component feature, field-effect transistors (FETs) with the individual patterned thin films display satisfactorily uniform performances with average charge mobility of 0.61 ± 0.10 cm2 V-1 s-1 and threshold voltage of 3.49 ± 1.43 V. These results offer a simple yet effective design strategy for high-performance single component semiconducting photoresists, which hold great potentials for flexible electronics processed by all-photolithography.

Abstract
Stretchable polymer semiconductors have advanced rapidly in the past decade as materials required to realize conformable and soft skin-like electronics become available. Through rational molecular-level design, stretchable polymer semiconductor films are now able to retain their electrical functionalities even when subjected to repeated mechanical deformations. Furthermore, their charge-carrier mobilities are on par with the best flexible polymer semiconductors, with some even exceeding that of amorphous silicon. The key advancements are molecular-design concepts that allow multiple strain energy-dissipation mechanisms, while maintaining efficient charge-transport pathways over multiple length scales. In this perspective article, we review recent approaches to confer stretchability to polymer semiconductors while maintaining high charge carrier mobilities, with emphasis on the control of both polymer-chain dynamics and thin-film morphology. Additionally, we present molecular design considerations toward intrinsically elastic semiconductors that are needed for reliable device operation under reversible and repeated deformation. A general approach involving inducing polymer semiconductor nanoconfinement allows for incorporation of several other desired functionalities, such as biodegradability, self-healing, and photopatternability, while enhancing the charge transport. Lastly, we point out future directions, including advancing the fundamental understanding of morphology evolution and its correlation with the change of charge transport under strain, and needs for strain-resilient polymer semiconductors with high mobility retention.

Abstract
Power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) and device stability are two key technical factors restricting the commercialization of organic solar cells (OSCs). In the past decades, though the PCEs of OSCs have been significantly enhanced, device instability, especially in the state-of-the-art nonfullerene system, still needs to be solved. In this work, an effective crosslinker (namely, DTODF-4F), with conjugated fluorene-based backbone and crosslinkable epoxy side-chains, has been designed and synthesized, which is introduced to enhance the morphological stabilization of the PM6:Y6-based film. This crosslinker with two epoxy groups can be in situ crosslinked into a stable network structure under ultraviolet radiation. We demonstrate that DTODF-4F, which acted as a third component, can promote the exciton dissociation rate and reduce traps/defects, finally resulting in the enhancement of efficiency. In particular, the OSC devices exhibit better stability under continuous heating owing to the morphology fixation of the bulk heterojunction. This work drives the development direction of morphological stabilization to further improve the performance and stability of OSCs.

Abstract
Improving the electrical conductivity is an important role in realizing high thermoelectric performance of solution-processable polymers. Herein, a simple and robust approach to boost the mobility and doping efficiency of a diketopyrrolopyrrole-based copolymer with the introduction of thermocleavable side chains (PDPPS-X, where X is the molar ratio of the thermocleavable side chains and alkyl chains) is first provided. Notably, the incorporated thermocleavable groups can be effectively removed after thermal treatment and therefore contribute to the crystalline domain formation via hydrogen-bonded networks, which is critical for conductivity enhancements. Grazing incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS) patterns give a clear indication that the thermal treatment of PDPPS-5 can greatly improve the structural arrangement, resulting in a significantly enhanced hole mobility (5.4 times that of PDPPS-0 without thermocleavable chains). Compared to PDPPS-0, a larger Fermi level shift is observed after doping PDPPS-5 with FeCl3, reflecting a better doping efficiency. Consequently, remarkably improved conductivity and power factor are achieved by PDPPS-5 after doping with 0.03 M FeCl3 at room temperature, which are about 2.2 and 3.5 times higher than that of PDPPS-0 at the same testing condition, respectively. Moreover, PDPPS-5 achieved a maximum power factor of 57.5 μW m-1 K-2 at 404 K.

Abstract
Next-generation wearable electronics require enhanced mechanical robustness and device complexity. Besides previously reported softness and stretchability, desired merits for practical use include elasticity, solvent resistance, facile patternability and high charge carrier mobility. Here, we show a molecular design concept that simultaneously achieves all these targeted properties in both polymeric semiconductors and dielectrics, without compromising electrical performance. This is enabled by covalently-embedded in-situ rubber matrix (iRUM) formation through good mixing of iRUM precursors with polymer electronic materials, and finely-controlled composite film morphology built on azide crosslinking chemistry which leverages different reactivities with C-H and C=C bonds. The high covalent crosslinking density results in both superior elasticity and solvent resistance. When applied in stretchable transistors, the iRUM-semiconductor film retained its mobility after stretching to 100% strain, and exhibited record-high mobility retention of 1 cm2 V-1 s-1 after 1000 stretching-releasing cycles at 50% strain. The cycling life was stably extended to 5000 cycles, five times longer than all reported semiconductors. Furthermore, we fabricated elastic transistors via consecutively photo-patterning of the dielectric and semiconducting layers, demonstrating the potential of solution-processed multilayer device manufacturing. The iRUM represents a molecule-level design approach towards robust skin-inspired electronics.

Abstract
Developing photopolymerizable polymeric materials offers many opportunities to process materials in a remote and controllable manner. However, most photopolymerizable technologies require the external introduction of photoabsorbing units, whereas designing intrinsically photopolymerizable polymers is still highly challenging. Here, we report that a natural small-molecule disulfide, thioctic acid, can be directly transformed into a poly(disulfides) network under the irradiation of visible light without any external additives. The resulting polymer network exhibits optical transparency, mechanical stretchability and toughness, ambient self-healing ability, and especially strong adhesive ability to different surfaces. The dynamic covalent backbones of the poly(disulfides) endow the depolymerization ability to recycle the material in a closed-loop manner. We foresee that this facile and robust photopolymerization system is of great promise toward low-cost and high-performance photocuring coatings and adhesives.

Abstract
A diazirine-based four-armed cross-linker (4CNN) with a tetrahedron geometry is presented for efficient patterning of polymeric semiconductors by photo-induced carbene insertion. After blending of 4CNN with no more than 3 % (w/w), photo-patterning of p-, n-, and ambipolar semiconducting polymers with side alkyl chains was achieved; regular patterns with size as small as 5 μm were prepared with appropriate photomasks after 365 nm irradiation for just 40 s. The interchain packing order and the thin film morphology were nearly unaltered after the cross-linking and the semiconducting properties of the patterned thin films were mostly retained. A complementary-like inverter with a gain value of 112 was constructed easily by two steps of photo-patterning of the p-type and n-type semiconducting polymers. The results show that 4CNN is a new generation of cross-linker for the photo-patterning of polymeric semiconductors for all-solution-processible flexible electronic devices.

Abstract
An insoluble thin film of a coronene diimide (CDI) derivative was fabricated from a soluble precursor of perylene diimide (PDI) by photoirradiation. We prepared a 1,7-diarylated PDI (TP-PDI) that can be converted into a coronene diimide (TP-CDI) derivative via a Scholl-type photocyclization reaction. This reaction was accompanied by structural changes from a twisted structure to a π-extended planar molecule. It was found that this photoconversion reaction occurs for both solution-based and thin-film-based reactants investigated by the changes of UV-vis absorption spectra and 1 H NMR spectra. The photocyclization reactions were found to proceed smoothly in polar solvents. In the thin-film state, the solvent vapor annealing method is a key process for achieving photoconversion reaction. Additionally, the fabrication of multi-layered thin films was achieved without undesirable dissolution of the underlying layers because of different solubilities of TP-PDI and TP-CDI.

Abstract
Owing to high resolution, reliability, and industrial compatibility, all-photolithography is a promising strategy for industrial manufacture of organic electronics. However, it receives limited success due to the absence of a semiconducting photoresist with high patterning resolution, mobility, and performance stability against photolithography solution processes. Here, we develop a comprehensive semiconducting photoresist with nano-interpenetrating structure. After photolithography, nanostructured cross-linking networks interpenetrate with continuous phases of semiconducting polymers, enabling submicrometer patterning accuracy and compact molecular stacking with high thermodynamic stability. The mobility reaches the highest values of photocrosslinkable organic semiconductors and maintains almost 100% after soaking in developer and stripper for 1000 min. Owing to the comprehensive performance, all-photolithography is achieved, which fabricates organic inverters and high-density transistor arrays with densities up to 1.1 × 105 units cm-2 and 1 to 4 orders larger than conventional printing processes, opening up a new approach toward manufacturing highly integrated organic circuits and systems.

Abstract
Efficient approach based on the photochemistry of benzophenone has been developed for the cross-linking of the polymer hole-transporting layer (HTL). The cross-linked poly[(9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl)-alt-(4,4'-(N-(4-butylphenyl) (TFB) thin films showed high solvent stability, smooth surface morphology, and improved charge-carrier mobility. The solution-processed red, green, and blue (RGB) quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) based on the cross-linked HTLs showed much better performances than the corresponding devices based on the pristine TFB HTLs. The spin-coated red QLEDs based on the cross-linked HTLs showed the maximum current efficiency (CE), the maximum power efficiency (PE), and the peak external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 32.3 cd A-1, 42.3 lm W-1, and 21.4%, respectively. The inkjet-printed red QLEDs with the cross-linked HTLs exhibited the CE, PE, and EQE of 26.5 cd A-1, 37.8 lm W-1, and 18.1%, respectively. The high-performance HTLs were obtained by significantly reducing the amount of cross-linking agents.

Abstract
Controlling the self-assembly morphology of π-conjugated block copolymer is of great interesting. Herein, amphiphilic poly(3-hexylthiophene)-block-poly(phenyl isocyanide)s (P3HT-b-PPI) copolymers composed of π-conjugated P3HT and optically active helical PPI segments were readily prepared. Taking advantage of the crystallizable nature of P3HT and the chirality of the helical PPI segment, crystallization-driven asymmetric self-assembly (CDASA) of the block copolymers lead to the formation of single-handed helical nanofibers with controlled length, narrow dispersity, and well-defined helicity. During the self-assembly process, the chirality of helical PPI was transferred to the supramolecular assemblies, giving the helical assemblies large optical activity. The single-handed helical assemblies of the block copolymers exhibited interesting white-light emission and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). The handedness and dissymmetric factor of the induced CPL can be finely tuned through the variation on the helicity and length of the helical nanofibers.
