Abstract

In recent years, fused aromatic dithienobenzodithiophene (DTBDT)-based functional semiconductors have been potential candidates for organic electronics. Due to the favorable features of excellent planarity, strong crystallinity, high mobility, and so on, DTBDT-based semiconductors have demonstrated remarkable performance in organic electronic devices, such as organic feld-effect transistor (OFET), organic photovoltaic (OPV), organic photodetectors (OPDs). Driven by this success, recent developments in the area of DTBDT-based semiconductors for applications in electronic devices are reviewed, focusing on OFET, OPV, perovskite solar cells (PSCs), and other organic electronic devices with a discussion of the relationship between molecular structure and device performance. Finally, the remaining challenges, and the key research direction in the near future are proposed, which provide a useful guidance for the design of DTBDT-based materials.
