Abstract
Exploring a robust, extremely sensitive, cost-effective and reliable assay platform for the precise analysis of dopamine (DA) has become a big challenge predominantly at the clinical level. To participate in this quest, herein, we fabricated a perylene diimide (PDI) self-assembled graphitic surface of the graphitic pencil electrode (GPE) anchored copper oxide (CuO). The self-assembled N-rich PDI led to the fast movement of ions by decreasing the bandgap and improved the electron transport kinetics with more exposed catalytic active sites, thus resulting in the robust electrochemical sensing of DA. The designed sensor exhibited good sensitivity (4 μM-1 cm-2), high structural stability, repeatability and excellent reproducibility with an RSD value of 2.9%. Moreover, the developed system showed a wide linear range (5 μM to 500 μM) and reliable selectivity even in the presence of co-existing interferants, such as ascorbic acid and uric acid. The fabricated nanohybrid was eventually employed to analyze DA in spiked physiological fluids and provided satisfactory recoveries. The designed PDI-CuO based interface also showed a very low detection limit of 6 nM (S/N = 3), consequently confirming its suitability for clinical and biological applications.

Abstract
Controlling molecular self-assembly of organic semiconductors is a key factor in enhancing the performance of organic electronics and optoelectronics. However, unlike various p-type organic semiconductors, it has proven elusive to control molecular self-assembly with about tens of nm dimensions using n-type organic semiconductors including perylene diimide (PDI), which is the most promising alternative to fullerene derivatives, without using an additional synthetic method or additives, thus far. Here, we developed a simple self-assembling method for the hierarchical self-assembly of PDI crystals with nanometer-to-micrometer scale features using pristine PDI-C8 without using an additional synthetic method or additive. Interestingly, we observed crystalline and optical properties of self-assembled PDI crystals depending on their size and structural features. In addition, we fabricated p-n junctions composed of PDI and poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), where the p-n junctions had coassembled and blended nanomorphologies, and confirmed that coassembled nanomorphologies enabled more effective energy transfer than the blended nanomorphologies.

Abstract
Solution-crystallizable small-molecule organic semiconductors, such as 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)pentacene (TIPS pentacene), 5,11-bis(triethylgermylethynyl)anthradithiophene (diF-TEG-ADT), 2,7-dioctyl[1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzothiophene (C8-BTBT), and N,N'-1H,1H-perfluorobutyl dicyanoperylenecarboxydiimide (PDIF-CN2), demonstrate various practical advantages including high mobility, air stability and solution processibility. In this article, we review various polymer additive based approaches to control the crystal morphology and the resultant charge transport of some bench-mark, high performance, solution crystallizable, small-molecule organic semiconductors. The polymer additives are discussed under the categories of non-conjugated polymers and conjugated polymers. The approaches and structure-performance correlations that we discussed here may be applied far beyond the examples shown in this review and have important implications for high performance organic semiconductors in general.

Abstract
Numerous examples of field-effect transistor (FET) biosensors and chemical sensors with good sensitivity and selectivity have now been developed. However, effectively discriminating between analytes has required either the use of receptors that selectively bind specific analytes or the fabrication of an array of sensors with varying but nonspecific responses. Both approaches exhibit significant limitations. In the first case, it can be difficult to design sufficiently specific receptors for many compounds, whereas the number of receptors required scales with the number of analytes to be detected, making it impractical to recognize many different compounds. In the second case, existing approaches to FET sensor arrays are generally material-inefficient and provide modest sensitivity. Here, we demonstrate that orthogonal ambipolar semiconductors consisting of semiconducting p-type polymers and n-type small-molecule nanowires with perpendicular in-plane orientations provide a platform with high sensitivity and inherently multi-dimensional response. This allows for discrimination between even closely related derivatives such as aromatic isomers and n-alkyl alcohols varying in length by a single carbon atom resolution using only a single sensor element.

Abstract
Living crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) is a seeded growth method for crystallizable block copolymers (BCPs) and related amphiphiles in solution and has recently emerged as a highly promising and versatile route to uniform core-shell nanoparticles (micelles) with control of dimensions and architecture. However, the factors that influence the rate of nanoparticle growth have not been systematically studied. Using transmission electron microscopy, small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering, and super-resolution fluorescence microscopy techniques, we have investigated the kinetics of the seeded growth of poly(ferrocenyldimethylsilane)- b-(polydimethylsiloxane) (PFS- b-PDMS), as a model living CDSA system for those employing, for example, crystallizable emissive and biocompatible polymers. By altering various self-assembly parameters including concentration, temperature, solvent, and BCP composition our results have established that the time taken to prepare fiber-like micelles via the living CDSA method can be reduced by decreasing temperature, by employing solvents that are poorer for the crystallizable PFS core-forming block, and by increasing the length of the PFS core-forming block. These results are of general importance for the future optimization of a wide variety of living CDSA systems. Our studies also demonstrate that the growth kinetics for living CDSA do not exhibit the first-order dependence of growth rate on unimer concentration anticipated by analogy with living covalent polymerizations of molecular monomers. This difference may be caused by the combined influence of chain conformational effects of the BCP on addition to the seed termini and chain length dispersity.

Abstract
A new crystal phase of a naphthalenediimide derivative (α-DPNDI) has been prepared via a facial polymer-assisted method. The stacking pattern of DPNDI can be tailored from the known one-dimensional (1D) ribbon (β phase) to a novel two-dimensional (2D) plate (α phase) through the assistance from polymers. We believe that the presence of polymers during crystal growth is likely to weaken the direct π-π interactions and favor side-to-side C-H-π contacts. Furthermore, β phase architecture shows electron mobility higher than that of the α phase in the single-crystal-based OFET. Theoretical calculations not only confirm that β-DPNDI has an electron transport performance better than that of the α phase but also indicate that the α phase crystal displays 2D transport while the β phase possesses 1D transport. Our results clearly suggest that polymer-assisted crystal engineering should be a promising approach to alter the electronic properties of organic semiconductors.

Abstract
We report orthogonal ambipolar semiconductors that exhibit hole and electron transport in perpendicular directions based on aligned films of nanocrystalline "shish-kebabs" containing poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and N,N'-di-n-octyl-3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (PDI) as p- and n-type components, respectively. Polarized optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction measurements reveal a high degree of in-plane alignment. Relying on the orientation of interdigitated electrodes to enable efficient charge transport from either the respective p- or n-channel materials, we demonstrate semiconductor films with high anisotropy in the sign of charge carriers. Films of these aligned crystalline semiconductors were used to fabricate complementary inverter devices, which exhibited good switching behavior and a high noise margin of 80% of 1/2 Vdd. Moreover, complementary "NAND" and "NOR" logic gates were fabricated and found to exhibit excellent voltage transfer characteristics and low static power consumption. The ability to optimize the performance of these devices, simply by adjusting the solution concentrations of P3HT and PDI, makes this a simple and versatile method for preparing ambipolar organic semiconductor devices and high-performance logic gates. Further, we demonstrate that this method can also be applied to mixtures of PDI with another conjugated polymer, poly[2,5-bis(3-tetradecylthiophen-2-yl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene]) (PBTTT), with better hole transport characteristics than P3HT, opening the door to orthogonal ambipolar semiconductors with higher performance.

Abstract
Controlling the morphology of polymer semiconductors remains a fundamental challenge that hinders their widespread applications in electronic and optoelectronic devices and commercial feasibility. Although conjugated polymer nanowires (NWs) are envisioned to afford high charge-carrier mobility, the alignment of preformed conjugated polymer NWs has not been reported. Here, we demonstrate an extremely simple and effective strategy to generate well-aligned arrays of one-dimensional (1D) polymer semiconductors that exhibit remarkable enhancement in charge transport using a solution shear-coating technique. We show that solution shear coating of poly(alkylthiophene) NWs induces extension or coplanarization of the polymer backbone and highly aligned network films, which results in enhanced intra- and intermolecular ordering and reduced grain boundaries. Consequently, highly aligned poly(3-hexylthiophene) NWs exhibited over 33-fold enhancement in the average carrier mobility, with the highest mobility of 0.32 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) compared to pristine films. The presented platform is a promising strategy and general approach for achieving well-aligned 1D nanostructures of polymer semiconductors and could enable the next generation of high-performance flexible electronic devices for a wide range of applications.

Abstract
Analytical methods that enable visualization of nanomaterials derived from solution self‐assembly processes in organic solvents are highly desirable. Herein, we demonstrate the use of stimulated emission depletion microscopy (STED) and single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) to map living crystallization‐driven block copolymer (BCP) self‐assembly in organic media at the sub‐diffraction scale. Four different dyes were successfully used for single‐colour super‐resolution imaging of the BCP nanostructures allowing micelle length distributions to be determined in situ. Dual‐colour SMLM imaging was used to measure and compare the rate of addition of red fluorescent BCP to the termini of green fluorescent seed micelles to generate block comicelles. Although well‐established for aqueous systems, the results highlight the potential of super‐resolution microscopy techniques for the interrogation of self‐assembly processes in organic media.

Abstract
Nature uses orthogonal interactions over different length scales to construct structures with hierarchical levels of order and provides an important source of inspiration for the creation of synthetic functional materials. Here, we report the programmed assembly of monodisperse cylindrical block comicelle building blocks with crystalline cores to create supermicelles using spatially confined hydrogen-bonding interactions. We also demonstrate that it is possible to further program the self-assembly of these synthetic building blocks into structures of increased complexity by combining hydrogen-bonding interactions with segment solvophobicity. The overall approach offers an efficient, non-covalent synthesis method for the solution-phase fabrication of a range of complex and potentially functional supermicelle architectures in which the crystallization, hydrogen-bonding and solvophobic interactions are combined in an orthogonal manner. Ubiquitous in nature, hierarchical architectures are less commonly achieved in synthetic functional materials. Here, the authors design and carefully assemble block copolymer micelles into complex supermicelles using hydrogen bonding in orthogonal combination with other non-covalent interactions.

Abstract
The solution-phase self-assembly or “polymerization” of discrete colloidal building blocks, such as “patchy” nanoparticles and multicompartment micelles, is attracting growing attention with respect to the creation of complex hierarchical materials.
The solution-phase self-assembly or “polymerization” of discrete colloidal building blocks, such as “patchy” nanoparticles and multicompartment micelles, is attracting growing attention with respect to the creation of complex hierarchical materials. This approach represents a versatile method with which to transfer functionality at the molecular level to the nano- and microscale, and is often accompanied by the emergence of new material properties. In this perspective we highlight selected recent examples of the self-assembly of anisotropic nanoparticles which exploit directional interactions introduced through their shape or surface chemistry to afford a variety of hierarchical materials. We focus in particular on the solution self-assembly of block copolymers as a means to prepare multicompartment or “patchy” micelles. Due to their potential for synthetic modification, these constructs represent highly tuneable building blocks for the fabrication of a wide variety of functional assemblies.
