Organic mixed conductors find use in batteries, bioelectronics technologies, neuromorphic computing and sensing. While great progress has been achieved, polymer-based mixed conductors frequently experience significant volumetric changes during ion uptake
Ultrafast Time-Domain and Time-Resolved Terahertz (TDS/TRTS) spectroscopic methods are utilized to explore photoconductive properties of conjugated donor-acceptor co-polymers dispersed in room temperature toluene, a nonpolar dielectric solvent. TRTS
