Harvesting solar energy from sunlight to generate electricity is considered as one of the most
important technologies to address the future sustainability of humans. Polymer solar cells …

In this review, we describe and discuss recent advances in the performance of polymeric
semiconductors in organic field effect transistors (OFETs). Design concepts such as short …

Continuous improvements have been made to drive the impressive progress of solution-
processed bulk-heterojunction polymer solar cells (BHJ PSCs), in which the rationally …

Remarkable progress has been realized in improving the power conversion efficiency (PCE)
of polymer solar cells (PSCs) over the past few years, raising the possibility of their …

AD–A conjugated polymer (PThTPTI) was developed by using a brand new pentacyclic
aromatic lactam acceptor unit (TPTI). PThTPTI possesses good light absorption, thermal …

Polymers possessing saturated fused polycycles in the main chain repeating unit have been
underexplored despite their potential utility based on their expected properties such as high …

This paper presents the development of alkali metal ion selective small molecules and
conjugated polymers for optical ion sensing. A crown ether bithiophene unit is chosen as the …

ipso-Borylation of fluoroarenes has been achieved using an air-stable copper complex as a
catalyst. Mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction proceeds via an SRN1 mechanism …

A new tetracyclic lactam building block for polymer semiconductors is reported that was
designed to combine the many favorable properties that larger fused and/or amide …
