Abstract:

Over the past decade organic electrochemical transistors¹ (OECTs) have found numerous applications in bio-sensing² and neuromorphic computing³. This presentation intends to paint an overview of the working principle of polymer-based OECTs and to highlight the importance of in –situ characterization^4a,b of organic mixed conductors to then present a few examples^5a-c of material design strategies to tune material and device properties for different applications.
