The Use of Dopants to Modulate the Properties of Organic Semiconductors, 2D Materials and Electrodes

Organic semiconductors have attracted interest for electronic applications due to their potential for use in low-cost, large-area, flexible electronic devices. In this talk I will discuss the development of metallocenes-based di-mers as n-dopants and describe metal dithiolene complexes as p-dopants for organic semiconductors, 2D materi-als and electrodes, and their resulting impact material properties and device performance.
