Increased mobility induced by addition of a Lewis acid to a Lewis basic conjugated polymer.
Through simple addition of a Lewis acid to a conjugated polymer bearing a Lewis basic heteroatom, the hole transport of the polymer can be effectively p-doped resulting in a two-orders increase in hole mobility. The temperature dependent hole transport of a variety of Lewis acid concentrations are explored.
