Abstract:

Organic and hybrid organic inorganic semiconductors have garnered significant attention for their potential in low-cost, large-area optoelectronic devices. This research report presents recent advancements in surface modifiers, interfacial additives, and dopants that can significantly impact the charge injection/collection processes in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic field effect transistors (OFETs), organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices, and organic heterojunction solar cells (HOIS). Specifically, the report delves into the following key areas:

1. Phosphonic Acid Assembly on ITO Substrates: The report explores the assembly of phosphonic acids on indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates and their potential to enhance device performance in various applications, including interfacial adhesion.

2. Development of Neutral Highly Oxidizing and Water-Stable Organic Dimeric Dopants: The report presents novel neutral highly oxidizing and relatively water-stable organic dimeric dopants that can enhance device performance.

3. Chemistry of Amine Additives with Formamidinium in Precursor Solutions and Interfaces: The report examines the chemistry of amine additives with formamidinium in precursor solutions and interfaces of lead halide HOIS systems.
