In Situ Regenerative Adduct Assisted p‐Type Doping of Organic Semiconductor

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An in situ regenerative adduct‐assisted (IRAA) doping strategy is introduced for p‐type doping of organic semiconductors. A regenerating adduct serves as the dopant, enabling highly efficient doping with a choice of counterions. The generality of this approach provides a scalable route to dope a wide range of hole‐transport materials with high thermal ...
