Abstract

Organic diodes consisting of molecular nano-pyramid structures sandwiched between metal and strained nano-membrane electrodes are created. The robust and smooth contacts provided by self-curled metal layers render the molecular nano-pyramids efficent channels for detecting nitrogen dioxide airflow.

Keywords: gas sensors; molecular nanostructures; nanomembranes; organic semiconductors; strain engineering.
