Self-Assembly of Perylenediimide and Naphthalenediimide Nanostructures on Glass Substrates through Deposition from the Gas Phase

摘要

Significant progress has been made in the area of "supramolecular electronics" that have potential applications in optoelectronics, photovoltaic cells, and fuel cells. The term coined by Schenning and Meijer refers to the formation of nanostructures, primarily by noncovalent interactions, for applications toward the fabrication of basic electronic components such as diodes, transistors, etc. Supramolecular electronics have evolved from polydisperse systems containing conducting polymers such as polyaniline, polyacetylene, etc., to using block copolymer strategies and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The need for higher quantum efficiency in nano-electronics control in morphology for ease of fabrication and convenient design parameters for potential commercialization fuels the need for identifying new materials.
