摘要

Organic mixed ionic–electronic conductors (OMIECs), which can be used to build organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs), are of potential use in flexible, large-area and bioelectronic systems. Although hole-transporting p-type OMIECs are susceptible to oxidation, and oxygen leads to OECT instability, it is unclear whether oxygen also behaves as an uncontrolled p-dopant. We show that oxygen dissolved in a solvent can act as a p-dopant in OMIECs and OECTs by filling traps to enable effective electrochemical doping. To address the fact that the presence of oxygen simultaneously jeopardizes OECT stability, we develop a two-step strategy in which we first degas the solvent, and then dope the OMIEC in a controlled manner using a chemical dopant. Our approach improves the stability of both p-type and n-type OECTs, while increasing the on–off ratio, tuning the threshold voltage and enhancing the transconductance, charge carrier mobility, and the µC* product—that is, the product of mobility and the volumetric capacitance.
