However, high contact resistance (<em>R</em>_c) and limited effective carrier mobility (<em>μ</em>_eff) caused by the Schottky barrier impede the development of high-performance 2D FETs. Herein, the as-synthesized 2D NbOI₂ with a high piezoelectric coefficient was transferred onto flexible SiO₂/Si substrates to fabricate flexible NbOI₂ FET whose on/off ratio can reach 10⁴. Owing to piezotronic effect, the Schottky barriers at the FET metal-semiconductor interface are modulated by strain-induced piezoelectric polarization charges, which improve its electrical characteristics. Under a tensile strain of 3.32 ‰, the <em>μ</em>_eff and <em>R</em>_c of the NbOI₂ FET are increased by 56 % and decreased by 72.3 %, respectively, while the on-state current (<em>I</em>_on) has increased by 77.2 %. Notably, the <em>I</em>_on exhibits a good linear correlation with tensile strain, indicating its potential application in piezotronic sensors. Therefore, a strain sensing array consisting of four FETs responds to different objects by generating four-channel electrical output signals, achieving 99.9 % accuracy in object recognition with the aid of deep learning.

However, current research predominantly focuses on the influence of molecular configurations, while largely neglecting the critical role of molecular arrangements in determining passivation efficiency. In this work, to systematically investigate the defect passivation mechanism governed by molecular arrangements of Lewis base molecules, we designed three carboxylic acid (-COOH) functionalized ligands featuring non-conjugated (cyclohexanecarboxylic acid) and conjugated (1-naphthoic acid and 2-naphthoic acid) structures as passivating agents. Compared to the non-conjugated ligand, the conjugated naphthalene core establishes conjugation interactions with the perovskite surface, inducing a preferential lying-down orientation. More importantly, the intermolecular π-π stacking of conjugated functional groups extends π-electron delocalization, thereby providing sufficient electron density to fill defect states. As designed, the conjugated ligands demonstrate superior capability in passivating undercoordinated Pb^2 + ion defects and immobilizing iodide anions.

However, excessive dopants can disrupt the structural order of polymer films and hinder charge transport. Among various doping methods, mixed-solution doping offers advantages in scalable processing and formation of thick and uniform films. Nevertheless, it often increases disorder through aggregation caused by charge transfer complexes formed in solution. Recently, doping-induced ordering has emerged as a promising way to simultaneously enhance carrier density and mobility, but has primarily been observed in sequential doping where solid-state order is well-preserved. Here, we present a photoactivated doping strategy that enables doping-induced ordering in mixed-solution systems. Triphenylsulfonium hexafluoroantimonate (TPS-HA), a photoactivated dopant, suppresses the charge transfer reaction in solution and initiates doping upon light irradiation in the solid state. This temporal control effectively decouples film formation from doping. Before activation, TPS-HA is preferentially located in amorphous regions of poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) films with minimal disruption of crystalline domains. After activation, the small SbF₆⁻ anions insert into lamellar regions, thereby promoting side-chain ordering, backbone planarity, and reducing cumulative disorder. Consequently, TPS-HA-doped P3HT exhibits an enhanced molecular ordering across all three structural regions with delocalized carriers, achieving a conductivity of 78 S cm⁻¹—the highest reported for P3HT using mixed-solution doping—and a power factor of 51 μW m⁻¹ K⁻². By harnessing photoactivated doping to induce structural ordering, this strategy offers a framework to advance organic TEs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":394,"journal":{"name":"Nano Energy","volume":"145 ","pages":"Article 111434"},"PeriodicalIF":17.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144931236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
