Organic Semiconductors

For decades, field-effect transistors enabled by silicon-based semiconductors have powered the electronics revolution. But in recent years, manufacturers have come up against hard physical limits to further size reductions and efficiency gains of silicon chips. That has scientists and engineers look more

Due to their high hole mobility, pentacene and its derivatives have been the representative organic semiconductors and have been the subject of much research, both basic and applied. In particular, they are expected to be applied to semiconductor devices such as field-effect transistors. In addition more

Organic semiconductor-based photocatalysts conceived by a KAUST-led team could make hydrogen easier to generate from water using sunlight. Sunlight is the most abundant source of renewable energy, but its inability to produce consistent energy levels over time means it cannot meet energy needs on de more

Organic light-emitting device (OLED) is a solid-state light-emitting device based on organic semiconductors. Recent rapid advances in material chemistry have enabled white OLEDs to be used for general lighting and large-area flat panel displays. Efficacy of white OLED panel has reached 110 lm/W which exceeds that of fluorescent lamp. more
