The use of a simple SVA process successfully controlled the morphology of TIPS-pentacene OSC films, improving the sensitivity of nitrogen-based OTFT sensors. The large density grain boundaries formed by the SVA process enhanced the capability for gas molecule adsorption, resulting in high sensitivity to NO2.
The microstructure of the organic semiconductor (OSC) active layer is one of the crucial topics to improve the sensing performance of gas sensors. Herein, we introduce a simple solvent vapor annealing (SVA) process to control 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)-pentacene (TIPS-pentacene) OSC films morphology and thus yields high-sensitivity nitrogen organic thin-film transistor (OTFT)-based nitrogen dioxide (NO2) sensors. Compared to pristine devices, the toluene SVA-treated devices exhibit an order of magnitude responsivity enhancement to 10 ppm NO2, further with a limit of detection of 148 ppb. Systematic studies on the microstructure of the TIPS-pentacene films reveal the large density grain boundaries formed by the SVA process, improving the capability for the adsorption of gas molecules, thus causing high-sensitivity to NO2. This simple SVA processing strategy provides an effective and reliable access for realizing high-sensitivity OTFT NO2 sensors.
