High-Temperature Organic Electronics

 

Abstract

Plastics are arguably the most ubiquitous structural materials mankind invented, while semiconducting polymers, one kind of special plastics, present their unique optical and electronic characteristics and have attracted wide interest from biomedical to electronic applications. In this talk, I will focus on our latest development of high-tempearture organic semiconductors and organic conductors. In particular, I will share how we improve the thermal stability and durability of the devices through molecular engineering and device engineering. Through the fundamental understanding, we are able to achieve all-plastic organic transistors that can durably function under extreme heat with operation temperatures as high as 195 ℃. This research expands our knowledge of charge transport in conjugated polymers at high temperatures and provides a guide to making organic transistors for extreme conditions in the future.
