Research topics from publications: Highly Conductive Alcohol‐Processable n‐Type Conducting Polymer Enabled by Finely Tuned Electrostatic Interactions for Green Organic Electronics. Representative work: Abstract Solution‐processable conducting polymers open up a new era in organic electronics, fundamentally altering the processing methods of electronic devices. P‐type conducting polymers, exemplified by aqueous solution‐processed poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) : poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT : PSS), have been successfully commercialized. However, the performance of electron‐transporting (n‐type) materials remains considerably poorer. One of the primary challenges lies in striking a balance between conductivity and solvent processability. At present, most n‐type conducting polymers necessitate toxic solvents for processing, which contradicts environmentally sustainable principles and imped
