Summary: We report the synthesis of two novel series of thiophene-phenylene co-oligomers with either phenylene or perfluorinated phenylene central core and various electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs). The synthesized oligomers showed thermal stability, crystallinity, low LUMO energies (down to -3.50 eV), narrow bandgaps (down to 1.9 eV), and efficient photoluminescence in the green-deep red spectral regions both in solution and solid-state. The TPCOs with 2-ethylhexyl cyanoacetate EWG were crystallized in large-area single-crystal monolayers, demonstrating their potential as active layers in solution-processed single-layer organic light-emitting transistors.

Summary: Sequential casting (SC) can improve the film morphology of donor:acceptor blend layers and enhance the performance of organic photodetectors (OPDs). In this study, a refined fibrillar multiphase morphology is achieved by SC in an NT812:IEICO-4F blend film, leading to improved charge generation and collection, reduced trap states, and enhanced charge block capability. As a result, the OPD exhibits high external quantum efficiency and low dark/noise current, achieving a maximum special detectivity of 5 x 10(13) Jones at 860 nm. Similar enhancements are observed in OPD devices based on other blend systems with similar fibrillar refinement, providing guidelines for film structure manipulation towards high OPD performance.

Summary: Through introducing larger heteroatom, regio-regular backbone, and extended branching position of the side-chain, we developed polymer semiconductors (PPCPD) with a narrow band-gap to construct the photosensing layer of thin-film photodiodes and image arrays. The resulting organic photodiodes exhibited a spectral response ranging from near ultraviolet to short-wavelength infrared, achieving a competitive performance with inorganic crystalline detectors in the 900-1200 nm range. The high photodetectivity and quantum efficiency of the amorphous/nanocrystalline thin-film photodiode enabled high pixel-density image arrays without pixel-level patterning in the sensing layer, allowing for high pixel-density short-wavelength infrared imaging at room temperature.
