Environment-friendly aqueous processing of [60]fullerene semiconducting films for truly green organic electronics

Abstract

Here we report the application of water soluble thermo-cleavable [60]fullerene derivatives as precursors for manufacturing of fullerene-based organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). The designed approach provides an environmentally friendly and easy to use technique for fabrication of electronic devices based on C₆₀ semiconductor films suitable for different applications such as design of flexible electric circuits or gas sensing.
