Conjugated polymer chains are quasi-one-dimensional, so the most straightforward picture of their electronic properties comes from thinking of an excitation of one of the polymer's π-electrons as ...

A semiconductor made of synthetic polymer such as an LED or transistor. Such "conjugated polymers" are a plastic material that changes from being an insulator to a semiconductor after being doped.

The material can, for instance, be used in a 3D printer to shape the battery as you please. This opens up for a new type of ...

Scientists at Linköping University have created a groundbreaking soft battery made with fluid electrodes, capable of taking ...

A biohybrid system combines polymer nanosheets with E. coli to improve hydrogen production by capturing near-infrared light ...
