Researchers at Sweden's Linköping University developed a sustainable, scalable, room-temperature method for making organic semiconductors more conductive using air as a dopant.

Researchers at Sweden's Linköping University developed a new method for making organic semiconductors more conductive using air as a dopant. The method, published in Nature, involves using light to activate a photocatalyst, facilitating electron transfer between the organic semiconductor material and the dopant. This sustainable, scalable, and room-temperature process could lead to cheap, sustainable alternatives to traditional silicon-based semiconductors, impacting future electronics production.
