AI Technical Summary
Existing electrically conducting and semiconducting ionic salts exhibit poor performance in terms of electrical conductivity and thermal stability, with conductivities ranging from 10^-6 to 10^-2 S·cm^-1 at room temperature, and there is a demand for improved materials suitable for applications in electrical conductors, superconductors, spintronics, optoelectronic devices, electrochemical sensors, diodes, solar cells, and integrated circuits.
Development of conducting or semiconducting salts with a specific formula unit formed from monovalent or trivalent cations and planar anions having unpaired electrons and frontier π-orbitals, aligned face-to-face in a crystal lattice, facilitating multi-center bonding and quasi-one-dimensional electronic structures for enhanced electrical conductivity and potential superconductivity.
The proposed salts demonstrate improved electrical conductivity and thermal stability, with conductivities potentially exceeding conventional materials, suitable for applications in conducting cables, spintronics, superconductors, optoelectronic devices, electrochemical sensors, diodes, solar cells, and integrated circuits.
