Journal ArticleDOI
Unconventional, chemically stable, and soluble two-dimensional angular polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: from molecular design to device applications.
Lei Zhang,Yang Cao,Nicholas S. Colella,Yong Liang,Jean-Luc Brédas,Kendall N. Houk,Alejandro L. Briseno +6 more
TL;DR: Two new synthetic techniques have been developed to create stable PAHs that extend conjugation in two dimensions that exhibit good charge-transport properties, comparable to those of traditional linear acenes, while being much more environmentally stable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oligothiophene semiconductors: synthesis, characterization, and applications for organic devices.
Lei Zhang,Nicholas S. Colella,Benjamin P. Cherniawski,Stefan C. B. Mannsfeld,Alejandro L. Briseno +4 more
TL;DR: This review discusses the synthesis and characterization of linear oligothiophenes with a focus on applications in organic field effect transistors and organic photovoltaics, and highlights key structural parameters, such as crystal packing, intermolecular interactions, polymorphism, and energy levels, which define the device performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bistetracene: An Air-Stable, High-Mobility Organic Semiconductor with Extended Conjugation
Lei Zhang,Alexandr Fonari,Yao Liu,Andra-Lisa M. Hoyt,Hyunbok Lee,Devin B. Granger,Sean Parkin,Thomas P. Russell,John E. Anthony,Jean-Luc Brédas,Veaceslav Coropceanu,Alejandro L. Briseno +11 more
TL;DR: The synthesis and characterization of "bistetracene", an unconventional, linearly extended conjugated core with eight fused rings, provides valuable insight into the design of unconventional semiconductor compounds based on higher PAHs for use in high-performance devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relating chemical structure to device performance via morphology control in diketopyrrolopyrrole-based low band gap polymers.
Feng Liu,Cheng Wang,Jayanta K. Baral,Lei Zhang,James J. Watkins,Alejandro L. Briseno,Thomas P. Russell +6 more
TL;DR: The morphology and performance trend in OPVs paralleled the performance in an OFET, suggesting that similar processing conditions should be considered in OFET fabrication.
Journal ArticleDOI
NDI‐Based Small Molecule as Promising Nonfullerene Acceptor for Solution‐Processed Organic Photovoltaics
Yao Liu,Lei Zhang,Hyunbok Lee,Hsin-Wei Wang,Annikki Santala,Feng Liu,Ying Diao,Alejandro L. Briseno,Thomas P. Russell +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a naphthalene diimide (NDI)-based small molecule (BiNDI) was designed and synthesized by linking two NDI monomers via a vinyl donor moiety.
