Organic photovoltaics and organic transistors have been the focus of tremendous research interest as a new category of semiconductor material that is flexible, easy to fabricate, and low-cost. Over the last few years, the refined functionalization of the chemical components of organic photovoltaics and organic transistors, improved understanding of both photovoltaic and transistor physics, and innovative device engineering have led to remarkable progress and considerably enhanced efficiency and mobility. Further research efforts should address the most pressing issues, including the following: i) developing both organic photovoltaic and transistor materials stacks that are high-performance, stable, and uniform for large-area compatible processes, ii) balancing device performance and large low-cost manufacturability, and iii) focused applications, where the scientific community needs clear application and technology roadmaps.
Keywords: Hysteresis; Stability; Low-cost; Solution-processable.
