[D-6-06 (Late News)] Blended MXene-Polythiophene Semiconducting Network for Solution-Processed Nanocomposite Field-Effect Transistor
MXene, a new class of 2D materials, is being gradually used in energy storage, sensor, catalyst, super-capacitor, and other fields. We also anticipate that MXene can be an enabler in organic-based transistors. Here, we attempt to incorporate titanium carbide Ti3C2Tx MXene into a polythiophene semiconducting layer, in the hope of boosting charge carrier transport. Primary results show a 4-fold enhancement in mobility when 1.0 wt% of MXene is blended. The hybrid transistor also reveals a prolonged air stability with respect to pristine polythiophene device.
