Article Abstract
The power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of all-printed organic solar cells (OSCs) remain inferior to those of spin-coated devices, primarily due to morphological variations within the bulk heterojunction processed via diverse coating/printing techniques. Herein, cyclohexyl is introduced as outer side chains to formulate a non-fullerene acceptor, BTP-Cy, aimed at modulating the molecular aggregation in solution and subsequent film formation kinetics during printing. Investigations demonstrate that BTP-Cy molecule with cyclohexyl side chains exhibits enhanced intermolecular π-π stacking, optimal solution aggregation size, and favorable phase separation. Consequently, PB3:FTCC-Br:BTP-Cy-based OSCs achieve remarkable PCEs of 20.2% and 19.5% via spin-coating and blade-coating, respectively. Furthermore, a 23.6 cm module exhibits a remarkable efficiency of 16.7%. This study offers a fresh perspective on tailoring the film formation kinetics of photoactive materials during printing through molecular design, paving a novel path to enhance the efficiency of all-printed OSCs.

Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) have emerged as powerful tools for biosignal amplification, including electrocorticography (ECoG). However, their widespread application has been limited by the complexities associated with existing fabrication techniques, restricting accessibility and scalability. Here, we introduce a novel all-planar, all-printed high-performance OECT device that significantly enhances the accuracy and sensitivity of ECoG recordings.

A one-step solvent-mediated transfer printing technology (sTPT) is proposed to fabricate printable silver (Ag) electrodes. This simple approach can realize the residuals in the active layer serving as the mediator due to the capillary action without the use of any additional solvent. The as-cast polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was used as the stamp in the fabrication process.
