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 ...

Designing Strong, Tough, Fire‐Retardant and Self‐Healing Elastomers with Phosphorus/Nitrogen‐ and Biphenyl‐Containing Segments

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
By designing a P/N‐ and π–π interacting biphenyl‐containing diol as hard segments but side groups, a strong, tough, fire‐extinguishing and self‐healing elastomer is developed, demonstrating a break strain of ∼2500%, a toughness of 379 MJ/m3 and a tensile strength of 46 MPa, as well as a healing efficiency of 95% (tensile strength) and 99% (break strain)
