报告一：Synthesis of Molecule and Dopant for Organic Electronic Applications
 
报告人：Prof. Seth Marder
School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA
 
报告内容摘要：

We will discuss carbon-based materials are emerging as important components for a wide range of electronic applications. p- and n-Doping of charge-transporting materials with oxidants or reductants respectively can significantly improve the behavior of organic electronic devices. Here we will discuss the development of transition-metal complexes for doping of materials deposited from solution, including strongly reducing, yet air-stable, n-dopants. In addition, we will focus on the synthesis of organic moieties with high electron affinity (EA) may act as intra- and intermolecular acceptors in pi-conjugated materials.

报告二：Design of Conjugated Polymers for Plastic Electronic Applications

报告内容摘要：

Conjugated semiconducting polymers allow the possibility to fabricate electronic device by a variety of low cost printing techniques. Polymeric semiconductors offer an attractive combination in terms of appropriate solution rheology for printing processes, mechanical flexibility for rollable processing and applications, but their electrical performance requires further improvement in order to enable the next generation of plastic electronics devices, such as logic circuits and solar cells. The design and optimization of semiconducting polymers for these applications relies on the ability to design the self-assembly of the material in the thin film phase, as well as control the electronic energy levels. In this presentation I will discuss our recent work looking at different strategies to control the polymer backbone planarity and degree of aggregation and show how this influences charge carrier mobility and transistor performance.
