Researchers in Prof. Zhenan Bao's laboratory have developed an intrinsically stretchable and healable semiconductor polymer to fabricate high performance organic field-effect transistors for flexible and wearable electronic devices.
Stanford University and Samsung researchers have patented a microfluidic-based platform that can rapidly fabricate and characterize Organic Thin Film Transistor (OTFT) arrays composed of solution-processable organic semiconducting polymers.
Although organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) made from organic semiconductors are valued for their transparency, flexibility and low cost attributes, their sluggish response time due to slow carrier mobility limits their applications.
Stanford researchers have developed a simple and effective method to sort semiconducting from metallic single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT). This scalable technique uses semiconducting polymers to wrap around individual semiconducting SWNTs dispersed in a solution.
Stanford researchers successfully purified highly enriched semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) free of any dispersing agent via an easy, fast and scalable method.
Stanford researchers are using nanowires (NWs) to raise the performance of organic solar cells. Organic solar cells' main weakness is their lack of efficiency compared to in-organic solar cells.
Researchers in Prof. Zhenan Bao's lab at Stanford have developed a series of imidazole derivatives for solution processed, n-type doped organic electronic devices.
