Abstract

Printable electronics played a major role in the academic and industrial research over the last 30 years. While performances are rapidly closing the gap with market requirements, printable semiconductors require far too complex synthetic access to be sustainable. Also, the active materials are water insoluble, thus requiring non-recyclable toxic solvents for their manufacturing and leading to unacceptably high organic-wastes/active-material ratios. Within BOOSTER we aim at introducing a change of paradigm in the way organic and hybrid semiconductors are selected, synthesized and processed. We will prepare, and process established and original materials in water, even if reagents and products are not water-compatible. The key strategy to tackle such ambitious goals will be the development of innovative surfactants capable of forming micellae having both the function of nanoreactors and nanoreservoirs for the preparation, storage and delivery of water insoluble materials in a waterborne environment. Micellar catalysis is gaining momentum in pharmacological chemistry but represents a new approach to materials.

Obiettivi

New synthetic protocols, based on existing surfactants, allowing the preparation of the known and performing molecular materials with E-factors no higher than 100 (a two order of magnitude improvement with respect to the State of the art). Performances validated for use in TFTs, OLEDs and HTL for PVs.
Development of innovative molecular materials and monomers having intrinsically high sustainability and E-factors no higher than 100. Performances validated for use in TFTs, OLEDs and HTL for PVs
Development of original surfactants designed to be performing in the synthesis of organic semiconductors. Said surfactants are expected to be used with water only and at room temperature for all kind of reactions.
Development of successful "in water" approach for the preparation of known and original polymeric materials with E-factors no higher than 100 (a three order of magnitude improvement with respect to the State of the art). Performances validated for use in TFTs, OLEDs and HTL for PVs, with particular emphasis on the improvement in stability.
Successful proof of concept preparation of a cleavable latent perovskite.
First examples of "from water" inks based on known materia
