Materials Horizons Emerging Investigator Series – Danqing Liu

Novel butterfly-shaped organic semiconductor and single-walled carbon nanotube composites for high performance thermoelectric generators

An infographic showcasing the design of new butterfly-shaped organic semiconductors

This week, we are delighted to present our latest infographic highlighting fantastic work by  et al. on a series of novel butterfly-shaped organic semiconductors by contorting the pentacenone/anthrone cores with steric substitutions! Learn more in the infographic below or get the full story from their Materials Horizons article.

This Communication was also featured in our Emerging Investigator series, find out more about this series here and check out the full interview with Danqing in this Editorial.
