Most intriguingly, a clear charge-carrier-polarity change is observed when the devices are measured under vacuum. The pDPF-DTF2 polymer exhibits a balanced ambipolar performance with the µh/µe ratio of 1.9, whereas pDPSe-DTF2 exhibits p-type dominated charge carrier transport properties with the µh/µe ratio of 26.7. Such a charge carrier transport change is due to the strong electron-donating nature of the selenophene. Furthermore, pDPPy-DTF2 with electron-withdrawing pyridine flanking units demonstrates unipolar n-type charge transport properties with an electron mobility as high as 0.20 cm2 V−1 s−1. Overall, this study demonstrates a simple yet effective approach to switch the charge carrier polarity in transistors by varying the electron affinity of flanking groups of the diketopyrrolopyrrole unit.]]> Wed 01 May 2024 15:47:56 AEST ]]> Diketopyrrolopyrrole-based polymer:fullerene nanoparticle films with thermally stable morphology for organic photovoltaic applications https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34547 alt-naphthalene}):PC₇₁BM ([6,6]-phenyl C₇₁ butyric acid methyl ester) NP system and then compare the thermal stability of NP and BHJ films to the common poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT): phenyl C₆₁ butyric acid methyl ester (PC₆₁BM) system.

We have presented in detail the drug loading capacity and the time-dependent cumulative drug release of DOX from PEG-coated MNPs based MNFs. Specifically, we have selected three different MNPs (NiFe2O4, CoFe2O4 and Fe3O4) coated with PEG for the MNFs and compared their variance in the loading/release efficacy of DOX, through experimental results fitting into mathematical models. DOX loading takes the order in the MNFs as CoFe2O4 > NiFe2O4 > Fe3O4. Various drug release models were suggested and evaluated for the individual MNP based NFs. While the non-Fickian diffusion (anomalous) model fits for DOX release from PEG coated CoFe2O4, PEG coated NiFe2O4 NF follows zero-order kinetics with a slow drug release rate of 1.33% of DOX per minute. On the other hand, PEG coated NiFe2O4 follows zero-order DOX release. Besides, several thermophysical properties and magnetic susceptibility of the MNFs of different concentrations have been studied by dispersing the MNPs (NiFe2O4, CoFe2O4 and Fe3O4) in the base fluid at 300 K under ultrasonication. This report on the DOX loading/release capability of MNF will set a new paradigm in view that MNF can resolve problems related to the self-heating of drug carriers during mild laser treatment with its thermal conducting properties.]]> Thu 04 Nov 2021 13:58:14 AEDT ]]> Interface modification using a post-treatment-free heteropolyacid for effective charge selective bilayer formation in perovskite solar cells https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40144 Thu 02 Nov 2023 13:44:33 AEDT ]]> Water-based nanoparticulate solar cells using a diketopyrrolopyrrole donor polymer https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18538 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:50:11 AEDT ]]> Phenothiazine and carbazole substituted pyrene based electroluminescent organic semiconductors for OLED devices https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30009 −2 and the power efficiency of 1.5 lm W−1 while that of PY-PH exhibited 2116 cd m−2 and 0.45 lm W−1 respectively.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:28:50 AEDT ]]> Diketopyrrolopyrrole-Based Dual-Acceptor Copolymers to Realize Tunable Charge Carrier Polarity of Organic Field-Effect Transistors and High-Performance Nonvolatile Ambipolar Flash Memories https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49713 500 programming and erasing cycles.

Its performance when used as green emitter in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) or as dopant-free hole-transporting material (HTM) in halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is higher than that of the L-H counterpart, in spite of its lower bulk hole-mobility (7.0 x 10−6 cm2/V) to L-H (1.9 x 10−4 cm2/V). In fact, the OLED devices based on a L-F active layer showed excellent green emission (brightness and current efficiency were 1759.8 cd/m2 and 3.7 cd/A, respectively) at a 4.5 V turn-on voltage. When the molecules were employed as a dopant-free HTM in PSCs, L-F led to a power conversion efficiency (PCE) and open circuit voltage (Voc) of 5.9% and 1.07 V, respectively, thus outperforming those of corresponding devices based on L-H (PCE = 5.0% and Voc = 0.87 V) under similar experimental conditions (AM 1.5G and 100 mW cm2). We attribute the enhancements of L-F-based optoelectronic devices (OLEDs and PSCs) to the observed better quality of the L-F films. The promising performance of L-F indicates that fluorination of small molecules can be an effective strategy to achieve low-cost and high-performing materials for energy harvesting and display-based organic electronic devices.]]> Mon 29 Jan 2024 17:53:33 AEDT ]]> One step facile synthesis of a novel anthanthrone dye-based, dopant-free hole transporting material for efficient and stable perovskite solar cells https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48833 Mon 10 Apr 2023 10:43:09 AEST ]]> Synergistic Use of Pyridine and Selenophene in a Diketopyrrolopyrrole-Based Conjugated Polymer Enhances the Electron Mobility in Organic Transistors https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39338 Fri 25 Aug 2023 10:12:20 AEST ]]> Current advancements on charge selective contact interfacial layers and electrodes in flexible hybrid perovskite photovoltaics https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38284 Fri 20 Aug 2021 16:35:38 AEST ]]> Acene-based organic semiconductors for organic light-emitting diodes and perovskite solar cells https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37073 b:6,5-b′]dithiophene (TPA-NADT-TPA), 4,4′-(anthracene-2,6-diyl)bis(N,N-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)aniline) (TPA-ANR-TPA) and N2,N2,N6,N6-tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl)anthracene-2,6-diamine (DPA-ANR-DPA), are designed and synthesized for use in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and perovskite solar cells (PSCs).
