Self-doped conjugated polymers with electron-deficient quinone units for enhanced electron transport in highly efficient organic solar cells
- Pages: 105-115
- First Published: 04 June 2024

Novel self-doped conjugated polymers have been synthesized based on quinone electron-deficient units derived from benzodifurandione (BFDO). When used as an electron transport layer, polymers can effectively enhance electron transport and improve device efficiency. The materials also exhibit excellent performance under thick film and can maintain 96% device efficiency, indicating the great application prospects for large-scale roll-to-roll printing.

A deformation mismatch strategy enables over 120% stretchability of encapsulated serpentine silicon strips for stretchable electronics
- Pages: 150-159
- First Published: 05 July 2024

Encapsulated serpentine silicon strips with unprecedented stretchability exceeding 120% are achieved through a strategy of deformation mismatch, which breaks the constraints between silicon structures and polymers, and effectively reduces the strain concentration in silicon structures. This strategy solves the problem of excessive constraints and strain concentration in hybrid stretchable systems, and will promote the development of stretchable electronics.

We have successfully developed a triphenylamine derivative, TPA3BP, that can exhibit thermally activated delayed fluorescence in both the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and crystalline states, but also achieves room temperature phosphorescence by embedding it in the high polarity poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) matrix. This progress provided a suggestive molecular design strategy to achieve smart organic materials for widespread applications.
