Organic electronics is a growing area of technology that combines organic materials with advanced technologies to create more powerful features and unique properties Internationally, from Princeton University, Georgia Institute of Technology and Humboldt University in Berlin, The research team just released a new study in Organic Materials to explore organic semiconductors.
These organic semiconductor materials are being applied at an accelerating rate to future technologies such as flexible electronics, advanced device displays, even solar energy conversion, etc. However, organic materials are not known for their useful electronic properties.
To overcome this problem, scientists 'doping' some of the chemicals in organic materials to somehow increase their electrical quality.In this study, researchers found a powerful New dopants that add electrons to carbon-based materials increase their conductivity by a million times.
The new dopant, which is made up of pairs of molecules containing ruthenium and researchers are able to activate these molecules with UV rays, surprised the researchers that once they activated the dopant, even after the UV rays were turned off, It will still be activated.
Not only is this magical new dopant exceptionally stable, but it can also work in organic semiconductors that are either solid or solution-state. "Organic semiconductors are ideal materials for manufacturing mechanical flexible devices with energy-efficient, low-temperature processes, PhD student Xin Lin, a member of the Princeton research team, said at a news conference.
Either way, technology is merging with organic materials in ways that benefit humans.
