Conductive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have potential applications as critical functional materials in electronic devices such as chemiresistive sensors, capacitors and batteries. However, the widespread adoption of MOFs in devices is limited by the lack of reliable methods to generate uniform distributions of the MOFs in situ that are strongly...

The sensitivity and limits of detection (LOD) of chemiresistive gas sensors can often be improved by increasing the surface area of the sensing material that interacts with the analyte. This process is referred to as nanostructuring. Nanostructured polypyrrole (PPy) chemiresistive sensors for ammonia detection were created with the aid of a nanosph...

Detecting low concentrations of gases is critical in various fields, including daily safety for households or industry, systematic surveillance of processes or environment, and so forth. Compared to most of gas detection devices, chemiresistors offer the potential to achieve easy-processing and low-cost devices with rapid responses. Conducting poly...

A “chain-lock” strategy was carried out to build a conjugated polymeric network by a facile electrochemical copolymerization method. A classical donor-acceptor monomer 4,7-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno [3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5- yl)benzo[c][1,2,5] thiadiazole DEBT was selected as “chain” and a three-branch monomer tris(4-(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-y...

In the quest of ideal color and performance of black electrochromism, two solution-processable neutral black electrochromic copolymers, PTTBTPh0.35 and PTTBTTh0.30, have been prepared through the facile direct (hetero)arylation polymerization. Both copolymers exhibit favorable black color with broad absorption across the visible range of the spectr...

To circumvent the contradiction between processability and electrochemical performances, we report a recombination strategy in both unit and segment scales for processable ambipolar electroactive materials starting from parental moieties: classic ambipolar polymer (PEBE) and its soluble analogue (PPBP). On the basis of this strategy, two recombined...

Thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (TT) monomers end-capped with 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) moieties are electropolymerized to form π-conjugated polymers with distinct electrochromic (EC) properties. Steric and electronic factors (electron donor and acceptor substituents) in the side groups of the TT core, as well as the structure of the polymer backbon...

An electroactive polymer poly[4,7-bis(3,6-dihexyloxy-thieno[3,2-b]thiophen-2-yl)]-benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole is synthesized and applied as a color-changing electrode material in supercapacitors via spray coating method. Using poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) as the negative electrode, the all-polymer asymmetric supercapacitors provide an energy den...
