Abstract

n-Doping of solution-processible organic semiconductors: highly conductive fullerenes are demonstrated through solution-processed fulleropyrrolidinium iodide (FPI) and FPI-doped PCBM to reach a high conductivity (3.2 S/m). The n-doping proceeds via anion-induced electron transfer between the iodide on FPI and the fullerene in the solid state.
