Molecular alignment on graphene surface determines transport properties of graphene/organic semiconductor transistors

Graphene field-effect transistor structures were used to investigate the role of molecular alignment on charge transport properties of heterostructures comprising a single-layer graphene and variable thickness of N,N′-bis(n- octyl)-(1,7&1,6)-dicyanoperylene-3,4:9,10-bisdicarboximide (PDI8-CN2) – an n-type organic semiconductor. Our atomic force microscopy data … Continue reading

Impedimetric, PEDOT:PSS-Based Organic Electrochemical Sensor for Detection of Histamine for Precision Animal Agriculture

Our research on mixed ion-electron conductivity involved us into a collaboration to develop a histamine biosensor. High concentrations of histamine are associated with subacute ruminal acidosis, a common disease in high-producing lactating dairy cows. Therefore, the accurate detection of low … Continue reading

Photo-induced intramolecular charge transfer in an ambipolar field-effect transistor based on a π-conjugated donor–acceptor dyad

Our research team collaborated in a photoconductivity characterization of an interesting dyad molecule. A π-conjugated tetrathiafulvalene-fused perylenediimide (TTF-PDI) molecular dyad is successfully used as a solution-processed active material for light sensitive ambipolar field-effect transistors with balanced hole and electron mobilities. … Continue reading

Time-of-flight mobility of charge carriers in position-dependent electric field

We explained the difference between charge mobility of time-of-flight measurement and field-effect measurement in a recent paper. Time-of-flight measurements of the photocurrent in thin organic semiconductor layers represent an effective way to extract charge carrier mobility. A common method to … Continue reading

Single-step processing of TES-ADT based transistors

Our lab was involved in a discovery of a simple, alternative route towards high-mobility structures of the small-molecular semiconductor 5,11-bis(triethyl silylethynyl) anthradithiophene – TES-ADT that requires one single processing step without the need for any post-deposition processing. The method relies … Continue reading
