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 have developed a versatile molecular engineering approach, via random copolymerization, to gain good processability while maintaining high charge transport and photovoltaic performance for conjugated copolymers.
Researchers in Prof. Zhenan Bao's laboratory have invented a novel semiconducting material containing siloxane-containing side chains. This material demonstrates high charge carrier mobility, as well as air and operational stability in field effect transistor devices.
