Article Abstract
A clear understanding of the structure-property relationship of intrinsically stretchable polymer semiconductors (ISPSs) is essential for developing high-performance polymer-based electronics. Herein, we investigate the effect of the fluorination position on the crystalline structure, charge-carrier mobility, and stretchability of polymer semiconductors based on a benzodithiophene--benzotriazole configuration. Although four different polymer semiconductors showed similar field-effect mobilities for holes (μ ≈ 0.1 cm V s), polymer semiconductors with nonfluorinated backbones exhibited improved thin-film stretchability confirmed with crack onset strain (ε ≈ 20%-50%) over those of fluorinated counterparts (ε ≤ 10%). The enhanced stretchability of polymer semiconductors with a nonfluorinated backbone is presumably due to the higher face-on crystallite ratio and π-π stacking distance in the out-of-plane direction than those of the other polymer semiconductors. These results provide new insights into how the thin-film stretchability of polymer semiconductors can be improved by using precise molecular tailoring without deteriorating electrical properties.

Metasurfaces provide an ideal platform for optical sensing because they produce strong light-field confinement and enhancement over extended regions that allow us to identify deep-subwavelength layers of organic and inorganic molecules. However, the requirement of using external light sources involves bulky equipment that hinders point-of-care applications. Here we introduce a plasmonic sensor with an embedded source of light provided by quantum tunnel junctions.

Molecular spin systems that can be chemically tuned, coherently controlled, and readily integrated within devices remain central to the realization of emerging quantum technologies. Organic high-spin materials are prime candidates owing to their similarity in electronic structure to leading solid-state defect-based systems, light element composition, and the potential for entanglement and qubit operations mediated through spin-spin exchange. However, the inherent instability of these species precludes their rational design, development, and application.

Near-infrared (NIR) emitting materials underpin emerging medical diagnostics and therapeutic bionanotechnologies. Conjugated polymer nanoparticles offer unique advantages due to their remarkable absorption cross-sections, photostability, synthetic tunability, and biocompatibility. Despite the vast library of NIR-absorbing conjugated polymers, relatively few narrow bandgap structures have been explored for NIR imaging.

This paper presents a strategy for noise suppression and stability enhancement of organic photodetectors (OPDs) by introducing pH-neutralized and transfer-laminated poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) as the hole-transporting layer (HTL). Although PEDOT:PSS is widely used as an HTL material, its intrinsic acidity and structural instability hinder the performance of the OPD. Here, imidazole-induced neutralization promotes a linear entangled structure, while transfer lamination enables controlled PSS domain distribution.

In conventional semiconductors, electrical and thermal conductivity are typically coupled, posing a challenge in optimizing both simultaneously. Overcoming this inherent trade-off enables strategies for advancing electronic applications. Herein, a strategy is demonstrated to decouple electrical and thermal conductivity trade-off by creating heterostructures of highly conductive single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) coated with low conductivity hybrid perovskites.
