    Improved organic electrochemical transistor stability using solvent degassing and chemical doping

    Abstract

    Organic mixed ionic–electronic conductors (OMIECs), which can be used to build organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs), are of potential use in flexible, large-area and bioelectronic systems. Although hole-transporting p-type OMIECs are susceptible to oxidation, and oxygen leads to OECT instability, it is unclear whether oxygen also behaves as an uncontrolled p-dopant

    Transient Current Responses of Organic Electrochemical Transistors: Evaluating Ion Diffusion, Chemical Capacitance, and Series Elements

    Abstract

    For the successful implementation of organic electrochemical transistors in neuromorphic computing, bioelectronics, and real-time sensing applications it is essential to understand the factors that influence device switching times. This work describes a physical-electrochemical model of the transient response to a step of the gate voltage. The model incorporates 1) ion

    Magneto-Capacitance of PEDOT:PSS Thin Films; Effects of a Two-Phase System and Coulomb Interaction

    Daniel Nikiforov, Nir Tessler, Eitan Ehrenfreund
    Abstract

    The study of the net magneto-capacitance, C(B), in thin films of the conducting polymer Poly(3 4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) is presented. In the films there are charged electrically-conducting PEDOT-rich regions surrounded by PSS insulating charged material. The high-conductivity grade PEDOT:PSS thin films are studied at low temperature

    Experimentally verified organic electrochemical transistor model

    Sapir Bitton, Paula Alarcon-Espejo, Alexandra F Paterson, Nir Tessler
    Abstract

    The Bernards–Malliaras model, published in 2007, is the primary reference for the operation of organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs). It assumes that, as in most transistors, the electronic transport is drift only. However, in other electrochemical devices, such as batteries, the charge neutrality is accompanied by diffusion-only transport. Using detailed 2D device

    Switching Response in Organic Electrochemical Transistors by Ionic Diffusion and Electronic Transport

    Abstract

    The switching response in organic electrochemical transistors (OECT) is a basic effect in which a transient current occurs in response to a voltage perturbation. This phenomenon has an important impact on different aspects of the application of OECT, such as the equilibration times, the hysteresis dependence on scan rates, and the synaptic properties for neuromorphic

    Unveiling the Impact of the Electrolyte's Counter Ions on Organic Electrochemical Transistor Performance

    Sapir Bitton, Nir Tessler
    Abstract

    The effect of the electrolyte's counter-ion in organic electrochemical transistors is often neglected. the influence of anions (i.e., counter ions) is investigated on organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) with a PEDOT:PSS-like semiconductor through device simulations. The study examined the effects of mobile anions on OECT performance under two scenarios: when

    Electrical Doping of Metal Halide Perovskites by Co-evaporation and Application in PN Junctions

    Abstract

    Electrical doping of semiconductors is a revolutionary development that enabled many electronic and optoelectronic technologies. While doping of many inorganic and organic semiconductors has been well-established, controlled electrical doping of metal halide perovskites is yet to be demonstrated. In this work, we achieve efficient n- and p-type electrical doping of

    Strategy to improve synaptic behavior of ion-actuated synaptic transistors—the use of ion blocking layer to improve state retention

    Abstract

    Synaptic transistors (STs) with a gate/electrolyte/channel stack, where mobile ions are electrically driven across the solid electrolyte, have been considered as analog weight elements for neuromorphic computing. The current (ID) between the source and drain in the ST is analogously updated by gate voltage (VG) pulses, enabling high pattern recognition accuracy in

    Device simulations of perovskite transistors containing mobile ions and their relevance to experimental data

    Abstract

    We present a device simulation of lead-halide perovskite-based thin film transistors (TFTs) containing mobile charged species to provide physical reasoning for the various experimental reports. We study the output characteristics for a range of scan duration (1/speed), average mobile ion densities, and N- and P-channel TFTs. We then directly compare our results to

    Direct correlation between the built-in potential and the power conversion efficiency of NFA organic solar cells

    Abstract

    While it is known that too low built-in potential is detrimental to cells' performance, there is no consensus regarding the importance of maximizing the internal electric field or the built-in potential for achieving the highest power conversion efficiency of non-fullerene acceptor (NFA) organic solar cells. We use one of the prototypical NFA bulk heterojunction solar
