PEDOT:PSS for Flexible and Stretchable Electronics: Modifications, Strategies, and Applications
Flexible and stretchable devices come to the forefront of organic electronics. It is critical to develop conductive polymers with mechanical compliance. Here, frontier progress in conductive, stretchable, and stable poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) is reviewed. This work stresses the importance of developing PEDOT:PSS and reveals the critical role of these unprecedented devices including photovoltaics, transistors, biosensors, and strain sensors.
Abstract
Substantial effort has been devoted to both scientific and technological developments of wearable, flexible, semitransparent, and sensing electronics (e.g., organic/perovskite photovoltaics, organic thin‐film transistors, and medical sensors) in the past decade. The key to realizing those functionalities is essentially the fabrication of conductive electrodes with desirable mechanical properties. Conductive polymers (CPs) of poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) have emerged to be the most promising flexible electrode materials over rigid metallic oxides and play a critical role in these unprecedented devices as transparent electrodes, hole transport layers, interconnectors, electroactive layers, or motion‐sensing conductors. Here, the current status of research on PEDOT:PSS is summarized including various approaches to boosting the electrical conductivity and mechanical compliance and stability, directly linked to the underlying mechanism of the performance enhancements. Along with the basic principles, the most cutting edge‐progresses in devices with PEDOT:PSS are highlighted. Meanwhile, the advantages and plausible problems of the CPs and as‐fabricated devices are pointed out. Finally, new perspectives are given for CP modifications and device fabrications. This work stresses the importance of developing CP films and reveals their critical role in the evolution of these next‐generation devices featuring wearable, deformable, printable, ultrathin, and see‐through characteristics.
Field‐Effect Transistors Based on 2D Organic Semiconductors Developed by a Hybrid Deposition Method
Highly crystallized 2,9‐didecyldinaphtho[2,3‐b:2′,3′‐f]thieno[3,2‐b]thiophene (C10‐DNTT) monolayer crystal with large‐area uniformity is obtained by an ultraslow shearing method. This monolayer organic semiconductor thin film is used as the template for thermally evaporated upper C10‐DNTT film. The organic thin films deposited by this hybrid approach show an interesting coherence structure with a copied molecular orientation of the templating crystal.
Abstract
Solution‐processed 2D organic semiconductors (OSCs) have drawn considerable attention because of their novel applications from flexible optoelectronics to biosensors. However, obtaining well‐oriented sheets of 2D organic materials with low defect density still poses a challenge. Here, a highly crystallized 2,9‐didecyldinaphtho[2,3‐b:2′,3′‐f]thieno[3,2‐b]thiophene (C10‐DNTT) monolayer crystal with large‐area uniformity is obtained by an ultraslow shearing (USS) method and its growth pattern shows a kinetic Wulff's construction supported by theoretical calculations of surface energies. The resulting seamless and highly crystalline monolayers are then used as templates for thermally depositing another C10‐DNTT ultrathin top‐up film. The organic thin films deposited by this hybrid approach show an interesting coherence structure with a copied molecular orientation of the templating crystal. The organic field‐effect transistors developed by these hybrid C10‐DNTT films exhibit improved carrier mobility of 14.7 cm2 V−1 s−1 as compared with 7.3 cm2 V−1 s−1 achieved by pure thermal evaporation (100% improvement) and 2.8 cm2 V−1 s−1 achieved by solution sheared monolayer C10‐DNTT. This work establishes a simple yet effective approach for fabricating high‐performance and low‐cost electronics on a large scale.
Additive Engineering to Grow Micron‐Sized Grains for Stable High Efficiency Perovskite Solar Cells
A N,1‐diiodoformamidine (DIFA) additive is introduced in the perovskite precursor to attain high efficiency and stable perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Upon the addition of 2% DIFA, the compact, smooth, relatively hydrophobic, and large grained perovskite films are achieved with highly efficient defect passivation, which substantially increases the power conversion efficiency from 19.07% for the control device to 21.22%.
Abstract
A high‐quality perovskite photoactive layer plays a crucial role in determining the device performance. An additive engineering strategy is introduced by utilizing different concentrations of N,1‐diiodoformamidine (DIFA) in the perovskite precursor solution to essentially achieve high‐quality monolayer‐like perovskite films with enhanced crystallinity, hydrophobic property, smooth surface, and grain size up to nearly 3 µm, leading to significantly reduced grain boundaries, trap densities, and thus diminished hysteresis in the resultant perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The optimized devices with 2% DIFA additive show the best device performance with a significantly enhanced power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 21.22%, as compared to the control devices with the highest PCE of 19.07%. 2% DIFA modified devices show better stability than the control ones. Overall, the introduction of DIFA additive is demonstrated to be a facile approach to obtain high‐efficiency, hysteresis‐less, and simultaneously stable PSCs.

Abstract
Thermally stable, strongly luminescent gold‐TADF emitters are the clue to realize practical applications of gold metal in next generation display and lighting technology, a scarce example of which is herein described. A series of donor–acceptor type cyclometalated gold(III) alkynyl complexes with some of them displaying highly efficient thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) with Φ up to 88% in thin films and emission lifetimes of ≈1–2 µs at room temperature are developed. The emission color of these complexes is readily tunable from green to red by varying the donor unit and cyclometalating ligand. Vacuum‐deposited organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) with these complexes as emissive dopants achieve external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) and luminance of up to 23.4% and 70 300 cd m−2, respectively.
