The work ‘Mixing Insulating Commodity Polymers with Semiconducting n-type Polymers Enables High-Performance Electrochemical Transistors’ has been published in Advanced Materials and featured in IEEE Spectrum.
Blending polystyrene with n-type conjugated polymer p(N-T) is demonstrated to produce high-performing OECT with drastically reduced conjugated polymer required to achieve functionality. By using commodity polymers such as polystyrene, the organic semiconductors’ material consumption could then be used sparsely, leading to the cost-effective and sustainable development of organic transistors.
