Work function engineering of electrodes via electropolymerization of ethylenedioxythiophenes and its derivatives

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the state-of-the-art concerning the dielectric/metal/dielectric structures and their application as transparent electrodes in organic photovoltaic cells (OPVCs).

TL;DR: These functionalized PEDOT nanowire devices show typical depletion-mode p-type field-effect transistor (FET) properties and the binding of a positively charged protein causes a substantial decrease in current flow, attributed to the specific interaction between target protein molecules and aptamer-conjugated polymer chains.

TL;DR: In this article, the Schottky-Mott model is used to predict hole exchange at anode/organic electron donor interfaces, and a good correlation between the "metal/buffer layer" work function and the barrier for hole exchange is obtained, as expected by the model.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that poly(p-phenylene vinylene), prepared by way of a solution-processable precursor, can be used as the active element in a large-area light-emitting diode.

TL;DR: An overview of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (PEDT) and its derivatives can be found in this article, along with a description of the broad array of properties accessible and a set of the more prominent applications in which they can be utilized.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported visible light emission from Shottky diodes made from semiconducting polymers, confirming the discovery by the Cambridge group [Nature 347, 539 (1990)].

TL;DR: A field-effect transistor has been fabricated from polymer materials by printing techniques, which shows high current output, and opens the way for large-area, low-cost plastic electronics.
