ABSTRACTOptimization of the interface between the organic semiconductor (OSC) & the source-drain (S/D) electrode is critical in order to improve organic thin film transistor (OTFT) device performance. This process typically involves coating the metal S/D electrodes with an optimal self-assembled thiol layer; a process that requires pristine metal surfaces for successful treatment. Obtaining contamination free surfaces can be challenging in the case of printed metal electrodes. Here we demonstrate an effective strategy to address this issue by introducing a brief low power forming gas plasma treatment prior to the surface coating step. We show a two orders of magnitude decrease in the contact resistance as a result of this treatment.

Abstract The high porosity, controllable size, high surface area, and chemical versatility of a metal-organic framework (MOF) enable it a good material for a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), and some MOFs have been incorporated in the fabrication of TENGs. However, the understanding of effects of MOFs on the energy conversion of a TENG is still lacking, which inhibits the improvement of the performance of MOF-based TENGs. Here, UiO-66-NH2 MOFs were found to significantly increase the power of a TENG and the mechanism was carefully examined. The electron-withdrawing ability of Zr-based UiO-66-family MOFs was enhanced by designing the amino functionalized 1,4-terephthalic acid (1,4-BDC) as ligand. The chemically modified UiO-66-NH2 was found to increase the surface roughness and surface potential of a composite film with MOFs embedded in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix. Thus the total charges due to the contact electrification increased significantly. The composite-based TENG was found to be very durable and its output voltage and current were 4 times and 60 times higher than that of a PDMS-based TENG. This work revealed an effective strategy to design MOFs with excellent electron-withdrawing abilities for high-performance TENGs.
