Furan Derivatives: An Emerging Class of Organic Semiconductors

doi:10.6023/cjoc201506002

Abstract

π-Conjugated molecules are widely used in the fields of organic field-effect transistors, organic solar cells, dye-sensitized solar cells and organic light-emitting diodes, etc. π-Conjugated furan derivatives have attracted widespread interest due to the high carrier mobility, high photoluminescent quantum efficiency and good solubility. It has been corroborated that furan derivatives are a class of good semiconducting materials by the experimental and theoretical research results. A furan ring is frequently integrated into π-conjugated molecules either by fusion with carbon π-system or by using as a π-linker, which significantly alters the photophysical, electrochemical and charge transporting properties of the π-conjugated molecules. Furan derivatives could be used to fabricate high performance organic field-effect transistors, organic solar cells, dye-sensitized solar cells and organic light-emitting diodes. In addition to a brief introduction of the characteristics of furan derivatives, the author introduced the research progress of the application of furan derivatives in the fields of organic field-effect transistors, organic solar cells, dye-sensitized solar cells and organic light-emitting diodes.

Key words: furan derivative, organic semiconducting material, organic field-effect transistor, organic solar cell, dye-sensitized solar cell, organic light-emitting diode
