Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Organic electronics is a promising technology that is presently being introduced in an extensive range of applications. This Special Issue focuses on novel organic semiconductors, including small molecules, polymers, organic–inorganic hybrid halide perovskites, and their electronic applications, such as organic thin film transistors (OTFTs), organic light-emitting transistors (OLETs), memory, memristors, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QD-LEDs), halide perovskite light-emitting diodes (Pe-LEDs), organic solar cells, polymer solar cells, perovskite solar cells, photodetectors, etc. We invite researchers to submit their original research articles, as well as review articles, describing and assessing organic electronic devices and related physics. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: 

  • New materials and device technologies for solution-processed OLEDs
  • Emerging QD and halide perovskite emitters, and their LED applications
  • New device architectures for LED, TFT, solar cells, etc.
  • Halide perovskite-based memristors
  • Printing and patterning techniques for organic electronic devices
  • Materials, devices, and technologies for OLETs and OFETs
  • Non-fullerene acceptors and their photovoltaic applications
  • Low-bandgap organic and hybrid materials for infrared sensing applications

Core-cyanated perylene diimide (PDI_CY) derivatives are molecular compounds exhibiting an uncommon combination of appealing properties, including remarkable oxidative stability, high electron affinities, and excellent self-assembling properties. Such features made these compounds the subject of study for several research groups aimed at developing electron-transporting (n-type) devices with superior charge transport performances. After about fifteen years since the first report, field-effect transistors based on PDI_CY thin films are still intensely investigated by the scientific community for the attainment of n-type devices that are able to balance the performances of the best p-type ones. In this review, we summarize the main results achieved by our group in the fabrication and characterization of transistors based on PDI8-CN2 and PDIF-CN2 molecules, undoubtedly the most renowned compounds of the PDI_CY family. Our attention was mainly focused on the electrical properties, both at the micro and nanoscale, of PDI8-CN2 and PDIF-CN2 films deposited using different evaporation techniques. Specific topics, such as the contact resistance phenomenon, the bias stress effect, and the operation in liquid environment, have been also analyzed. Full article
