Toward Stable p‐Type Thiophene‐Based Organic Electrochemical Transistors

Abstract: Operational stability is essential for the success of organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) in bioelectronics. The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a common electrochemical side reaction that can compromise the stability of OECTs, but the relationship between ORR and materials degradation is poorly understood. In this study, the impact of ORR on the stability and degradation mechanisms of thiophene‐based OECTs is investigated. The findings show that an increase in pH during ORR leads to the degradation of the polymer backbone. By using a protective polymer glue layer between the semiconductor channel and the aqueous electrolyte, ORR is effectively suppressed and the stability of the OECTs is significantly improved, resulting in current retention of nearly 90% for ≈2 h cycling in the saturation regime.
