Abstract
Developing high-performance n-type polymers relies on simple, easily accessible building blocks with minimal steric hindrance and strong electron deficiency. Xugang Guo and co-workers report a quinoid building block, thieno[3,2-b]thiophene-2,5-dione (TTD), in their Research Article (e202501196). The TTD-based polymers exhibit tunable charge carrier polarity from p-type to ambipolar and ultimately to n-type upon thermal annealing, along with outstanding n-type thermoelectric performance.
