Abstract:
Vertical co-deposition of sub-100 nm polystyrene sphere templates with water-soluble small molecule or polymeric semiconductors, followed by solvent vapour assisted sphere removal, is shown to be an excellent method for generating porous large area organic semiconductor thin films with sub-100 nm open-cellular networks, with numerous potential applications in areas such as sensing and photovoltaics.
