Constructing a solid solution is an effective strategy for regulating the properties of composite organic semiconductors. However, there presents significant challenges in fabrication and understanding of organic solid-solution semiconductors. In this study, infinite solid-solution semiconductors are successfully achieved by integrating rod-like organic molecules, thereby overcoming the limitations of current organic composite semiconductors. Within these solid solutions, one type of molecule are incorporated into the crystalline lattice of another through random substitution. The continuous evolution in film morphology, crystalline lattice parameters and physical properties are observed as component ratios vary, accompanying with changes in the growth behavior of films. Molecular-level intercalation is evidenced by Davydov splitting, photoluminescence spectroscopy, and optical absorption analyses. Moreover, the continuous variation in ionization potential is demonstrated through organic Schottky diodes. This advancement in organic solid solutions can not only satisfy diverse requirements for device fabrication but also facilitate novel designs in device architecture.

Double-perovskite ferroelectrics have attracted increasing attention due to their highly tunable structures, multifunctional coupling effects, and potential applications in next-generation nonvolatile ferroelectric semiconductor devices. Here, an atomical-rippled-nanodomains (ARNs) are introduced to BiCoO and SmCoO solid solution double-perovskite film due to its ferroelectric single-domain coupling. By engineering triaxial tensile strain, the ferroelectric ARNs are robustly formed in BiSmCoO double-perovskite films, leading to a large ferroelectric polarization (≈23.

Ultrasound (US)-triggered sonodynamic therapy (SDT) employing semiconductor nanomaterials has garnered significant attention in cancer treatment. However, the wide bandgap of acoustic sensitizers limits the effectiveness of SDT, leading to rapid recombination of electron (e) and hole (h) pairs under ultrasound irradiation. In this study, we constructed a Ce-Ti-O solid solution system (CeTiO, CTO) and innovatively fine-tuned the bandgap structure of TiO by adjusting the doping concentration of Ce ions, significantly enhancing the carrier separation efficiency under ultrasound irradiation.

n-type lead chalcogenides showing high thermoelectric performance are rare due to the larger energy offset between the two lowest energy conduction bands minima, leaving ample opportunity to modulate electronic structure for improving their thermoelectric performance. Here, we present a remarkable thermoelectric figure of merit (zT) of ∼1.8 at 873 K in n-type PbSe doped with MoCl by modulation of the conduction bands, while simultaneously suppressing the phonon transport.

The interface between organic semiconductors and metal electrodes remains a major challenge in organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs), which limits the transit frequency of OTFTs in logic circuits and leads to inaccurate assessment of charge transport. In this work, we propose a novel strategy to enhance interfacial contact by employing organic solid-solution films (SSFs) as buffer layers between electrodes and semiconductors. Finite organic solid-solution semiconductors, (P5)(C8-BTBT), were successfully fabricated via coevaporation of P5 and C8-BTBT molecules.

P2-NaNiMnO is regarded as a viable cathode material for sodium ion batteries due to its high theoretical energy density. However, it also has challenges that impair its electrochemical performance, like the P2-O2 phase transition, the strong Jahn-Teller distortion effect, and the Na/vacancy ordering at high voltage. Here, an approach is proposed to use the Cu/Li binary doping modification of P2-NaNiMnO, which stabilizes the cathode structure by introducing Li into alkali metal sites and Cu at transition metal sites.
