Summary: This study demonstrates that intentional doping of a benchmark p-type semiconducting polymer (DPP-DTT) with 2,4,5,7-tetranitrofluorenone (TeNF) can significantly improve the operational and environmental stability of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Doping suppresses electron-induced traps and increases hole mobility in an oxygen-rich environment, while mitigating water-induced traps and shifting the threshold voltage. The doped OFETs exhibit environmentally independent performance and superior long-term stability for up to 4 months in ambient air due to enhanced microstructural order.

Summary: A polymer blend, similar to metal alloys, is created by blending two polymers together to obtain a material with different physical properties. The research investigates the impact of blending a flexible insulating polymer with rigid semiconducting polymers on charge transport characteristics. It finds that the electrical properties of the films are closely related to the polymer blend ratio, vertical segregation, and crystalline structures, and that the polymer backbone structure and blend ratio affect hole transport and electron transport differently. These findings are valuable for optimizing semiconductor-insulator polymer ink formulations for printed electronics.

Summary: In this study, Bi/BiOI composite materials with multi-morphology and efficient photocatalytic performance were synthesized by one-step chemical solvothermal method. The solvothermal temperature, reaction time, and iodine source were investigated, and it was found that Bi/BiOI composites with flower-like structures were prepared at 180 degrees C for 24 h (BiOI-180-24) using ionic liquids 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide ([EMIM]I) as the precursor. These composites exhibited higher photocatalytic performance towards Rhodamine B under visible light irradiation, attributed to their moderate specific surface area and band gap.

Summary: A simple and effective strategy was proposed to solve the hot issues of existing flexible batteries by providing a uniform and stable framework for bendable, portable, and semi-transparent all-in-one lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The fabrication of the all-in-one flexible LIB involved electrospinning of a PVDF-HFP-based precursor solution loaded with active materials, including nanostructured graphite and LiFePO4 as anode and cathode active materials, respectively. The addition of an optimized amount of CNT in the electrospinning solutions enhanced the electronic conductivity of the fibrous electrodes, resulting in stable electrochemical performance.

Summary: In this study, the impact of end group polarity on the thin film morphology, crystallinity and charge carrier transport of PTTPs was investigated. The results showed that increasing the substrate temperature improves the effective charge carrier mobility by promoting higher film crystallinity and larger grains. The polarity of the end groups also influences the effective mobility, with higher polar groups leading to lower mobility. Additionally, the reliability factor differs for different end groups. The insights gained from this study are important for the implementation of PTTP derivatives in various organic electronic devices.

Summary: In this study, NiO thin films were prepared on Ni foil using thermal evaporation method to investigate their structural, morphological and H2S gas sensing properties. XRD analysis revealed a FCC phase with preferred (111) and (200) Bragg reflections. Increasing the oxidation temperature led to an increase in crystallite size and size of nanoclusters on the film surface. EDS patterns showed an increase in O peak intensity with increasing oxidation temperature, indicating enhanced oxygen content. Raman spectrum revealed Ni-O vibrations in the thin films. Gas sensing results demonstrated sensitivity to 20 ppm H2S at 700 degrees C and no significant change in response for higher concentrations. The deposition temperature influenced the response of the sensors.

Summary: This study explores the unusual improvement in the performance of organic field effect transistors by adding a very small amount (below 1 wt%) of hybrid nanoparticles containing TiO2 to the gate dielectric poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). The presence of these hybrid nanoparticles increases the roughness of the dielectric layers and creates spikes which act as heterogeneous nucleation centers for the crystallizing semiconductor. As a result, even ultrathin layers of the semiconductor can form continuous crystalline domains.

Summary: We investigate the interface properties between WSi2N4 and Mo2B, O-modified Mo2B, and OH-modified Mo2B nanosheets. We find that WSi2N4 and Mo2B form n-type Schottky contacts, while functionalizing Mo2B with O and OH leads to the formation of both n-type and p-type ohmic contacts with WSi2N4. Additionally, we demonstrate the emergence of quasi-ohmic contact with ultralow lateral Schottky barrier and zero vertical interfacial tunneling barriers in Mo2B(OH)2-contacted WSi2N4.

Summary: When rare-earth ions are embedded in a ferroelectric material, their photoluminescence can serve as an all-optical probe for temperature, electric field, and mechanical stimulus. However, the impact of ferroelectric phase transitions on photoluminescence is not well understood. In this study, we demonstrate changes in the photoluminescence of green emission bands during critical ferroelectric transitions in an Er-doped BaTiO3 material. We also find that the intensity ratio and wavelength position difference of sub-peaks provide information on the phase transitions.

The compound exhibits a high ferromagnetic transition temperature, making it excellent for room temperature applications. The nearly temperature-independent resistivity, conductivity, and carrier concentration of the compound, adherence to the Slater-Pauling rule, and the high intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity achieved through hole doping further confirm its spin-gapless semiconductor nature. Additionally, the compound's SGS and topological properties make it suitable for spintronics and magneto-electronics devices.
