Thermal Operational Stability in Organic Thin Film Transistors: The Critical Role of Interface Composition and Deposition Conditions

open access: yesSmall Methods, EarlyView.
Operational thermal stability in organic thin‐film transistors is engineered through interfacial chemistry and deposition temperature. By pairing F10‐SiPc with different surface treatments and tuning substrate temperature during deposition, distinct transport regimes emerge, ranging from crystalline, trap‐prone behavior to reversible, thermally ...

Nature‐Positive Materials Engineering: Carbon Electrodes from Satoyama Biomass

open access: yesThe Chemical Record, EarlyView.
Nature‐positive materials engineering can link satoyama forest stewardship with the design of carbon electrodes for batteries, supercapacitors, and electrocatalysis. By turning underused firewood and charcoal resources into functional carbons, this approach reduces mining footprints while supporting biodiversity, landscape resilience, and regional ...
