A π-gel scaffold for assembling fullerene to photoconducting supramolecular rods

Abstract

Highly photoconductive crystalline supramolecular rods are obtained by the self-assembly of C60 in a soft-gel scaffold.

A Hybrid Organogel of a Low Band Gap Diketopyrrolopyrrole with PC71BM: Phase Separated Morphology and Enhanced Photoconductivity

“…No new band was observed for the mixture and the absorption spectrum of the mixture is a sum of the spectral feature of PC 71 BM and DPP‐Amide , affirming the absence of ground state charge transfer interaction. Results of these studies reveal that self−assembled nanostructures of DPP‐Amide allow the immobilization of PC 71 BM clusters thereby facilitating the electron transfer process ,…”

Efficient Gelation of Graphene Oxide Aqueous Dispersion Induced by Sonication‐Promoted Leuckart Reaction

“…Gelation induced by such cross‐linkers or promoters is a result of various supramolecular interactions within GO‐water system, including hydrogen bonding, π ‐stacking and electrostatic forces ,. Similar gelation processes have also been reported on other carbon nanomaterials in organic media for synthesis of superamolecular hybrid materials ,. These weak bonding forces make such GO hydrogel loosely connected, and the GO aerogels obtained by removal of water are not mechanically strong enough for many applications.…”

A Biomimetic Supramolecular Approach for Charge Transfer between Donor and Acceptor Chromophores with Aggregation‐Induced Emission

“…However, they have been largely studied for energy transfer (in bulk gels), with limited device applications . Encouragingly, a recent work demonstrated that a high photoconductivity could be achieved with a supramolecular gel system, which suggests a promising future for this class of materials for device applications …”
