| description | Abstract Material‐networked conduction paths provide nonlinear electronic properties, which are essential components of computing and physically mimic the brain. In this study, the formation of conjugated polymer monolayer networks and their nonlinear charge transport is demonstrated. Poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT) monolayer networks doped with 2,3,5,6‐tetrafluoro‐7,7,8,8‐tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4TCNQ) is fabricated using the co‐spread method with an amphiphilic liquid crystal molecule at the air–water interface. Atomic force microscopy and Ultraviolet–visible–near‐infrared absorption spectroscopy measurements reveal the network surface morphologies and doped electronic states. The correlation between the nonlinear electronic characteristics and network structures of the P3HT/F4TCNQ monolayer networks is further systematically investigated through current–voltage and voltage–time measurements for various doping levels, network densities, and numbers of transferred layers. The current–voltage characteristics of the P3HT/F4TCNQ monolayer network device with a simple two‐terminal structure exhibit nonlinear and ohmic conduction behavior, which depend strongly on the network density and geometric dimension (number of transferred layers). It is concluded that the nonlinear properties arise from the limited and unique network of 2D conduction passes. This study highlights the unique features of conducting polymer monolayer networks, paving the way for neuromorphic device applications including conjugated semiconducting polymer‐based material reservoirs with controllable nanostructures. |
