Understanding the Device Physics in Polymer-Based Ionic-Organic Ratchets.
High-performance solution-processed ionic-organic ratchets are fabricated using polymer semiconductors. The devices can provide both high short-circuit current and open-circuit voltage at room temperature, and be driven by AC signals with frequencies up to 13.56 MHz. The effects of trap density, mobility, and rectification ratio in the device on short-circuit current are investigated and clarified.
