Abstract
The Cover Feature shows 2-(4’-octylphenyl)-6-dodecyloxynaphthalene (8-PNP-O12), a liquid crystalline semiconductor material that exhibits p-type behavior with an excellent hole mobility of the order of 10−3 cm2 V−1 s−1; however, electrical conductivity limits its organic electronic applications. A small dispersion of rGO can reduce this problem by enhancing the electrical conductivity by many times owing to enhanced π–π interactions. More information can be found in the Research Article by D. P. Singh and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/cphc.202500178).
期刊介绍:
ChemPhysChem is one of the leading chemistry/physics interdisciplinary journals (ISI Impact Factor 2018: 3.077) for physical chemistry and chemical physics. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies.
ChemPhysChem is an international source for important primary and critical secondary information across the whole field of physical chemistry and chemical physics. It integrates this wide and flourishing field ranging from Solid State and Soft-Matter Research, Electro- and Photochemistry, Femtochemistry and Nanotechnology, Complex Systems, Single-Molecule Research, Clusters and Colloids, Catalysis and Surface Science, Biophysics and Physical Biochemistry, Atmospheric and Environmental Chemistry, and many more topics. ChemPhysChem is peer-reviewed.
