(Phys.org) -- Plastic electronics hold the promise of cheap, mass-produced devices. But plastic semiconductors have an important flaw: the electronic current is influenced by charge traps in the material. These traps, which have a negative impact on plastic light-emitting diodes and solar cells, are poorly understood.
