Successful synthesis of pure organic molecules that shows metallic conduction under ambient pressure

Thursday, December 8, 2016 - 10:01 in Physics & Chemistry

For the first time in the world, a research team has designed and fabricated single-component organic molecules that are conductive like metal under normal pressure, despite the fact that the molecules contain neither multiple molecules nor metal elements. Because the molecules are completely pure, they are more durable and stable compared to conventional chemically doped organic conductive materials. The new molecules may be applied to solar cell electrodes and touch panels.
