Abstract The discovery of SnSe single crystals with record high thermoelectric efficiency along the b -axis has led to the search for ways to synthesize polycrystalline SnSe with similar efficiencies. However, due to weak texturing and difficulties in doping, such high thermoelectric efficiencies have not been realized in polycrystals or thin films. Here, we show that highly textured and hole doped SnSe thin films with thermoelectric power factors at the single crystal level can be prepared by s

Abstract Molecular doping is essential for improving the thermoelectric properties of conjugated polymers, but dopants of low solubility either restrict the formation of high quality films or complicate fabrication steps. Although a highly soluble molecular dopant, tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (BCF), has been sporadically studied, its potential has not yet been fully explored. Herein, particularly intriguing effects of Brønsted acid doping with BCF‐water complexes for poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3

Abstract Self‐healable and stretchable energy‐harvesting materials can provide a new avenue for the realization of self‐powered wearable electronics, including electronic skins, whose main materials are required to be robust to and stable under external damage and severe mechanical stresses. However, thermoelectric (TE) materials showing both self‐healing properties and stretchability have not yet been demonstrated despite their great potential to harvest thermal energy in the human body. As mos

GO content tuning gradually enhanced the HER catalytic performance of the MoS₂/rGO hybrids, decreasing the Tafel slope from 82 to 48 mV per decade owing to an increase of catalytically active areas and an electronic transition of MoS₂.

Organic thermoelectric (TE) materials have great potential as sustainable energy sources for powering flexible and wearable electronic devices via harvesting of human body heat. Recent advances in soluble conjugated polymer/carbon nanotube (CNT) composites have facilitated achievement of high TE power factors. However, the effects of conjugated polymers on the debundling and electrical percolation of CNTs and on the TE properties of their composites are not yet fully understood. Herein, we intro

Abstract Despite excellent electrical and mechanical properties, practical application of poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) polymerized with poly(4‐styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) face the challenge of ensuring air stability in electronic industry. Here, degradation mechanism of PEDOT:PSS‐based films in air is clearly demonstrated through X‐ray/ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS/UPS) and its depth‐profiling technique. As the duration of air‐exposure increases, the PEDOT:PSS‐based films alt

Abstract The current design trends in the field of electronic devices involve efforts to make these devices smaller, thinner, lighter, and more flexible. The development of such systems is expected to further accelerate, resulting in the production of wearable and Internet-of-Things devices. In this respect, microenergy storage systems with high capacity and fast charge/discharge rates have become important power sources for such devices. In particular, interdigitated microsupercapacitors (MSCs)

Organic-inorganic hybrid CH₃NH₃PbBr₃ (MAPbBr₃) perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) are considered as promising and cost-effective building blocks for various optoelectronic devices. However, during centrifugation for the purification of these PQDs, commonly used polar protic and aprotic non-solvents (e.g., methanol and acetone) can destroy the nanocrystal structure of MAPbBr₃ perovskites, which will significantly reduce the production yields and

Abstract Perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) are attractive photoactive materials in various optoelectronic devices including light‐emitting diodes, solar cells, and photodetectors. However, the weakly bound surface ligands on PNCs reduce colloidal stability and cause film formation and patterning difficulties, severely restricting their practical applications. Herein, a rationally designed photocrosslinkable zwitterionic (PZ) ligand is introduced to obtain directly patternable CsPbBr 3 PNCs with enh

The evolution of "smart life," which connects all internet-of-things (IoT) microdevices and microsensors under wireless communication grids, requires microscale energy storage devices with high power and energy density and long-term cyclability to integrate them with sustainable power generators. Instead of Li-ion batteries with a short lifetime, pseudocapacitors with longer or infinite cyclability and high-power density have been considered as efficient energy storage devices for IoT. However,
