Charge-Localized Retention and Long-Term Memory Enabled by Cooperating Sterically Confined Molecular Crystallization with Spiro[fluorene-9,9'-xanthene]-Based Csp3-Hindrance

Charge localization of memory materials plays a crucial role in the endurance and retention ability of organic nonvolatile memory, which is completely opposite from the charge delocalization of high-mobility materials. However, charge transfer of both though-space and through-bond based on molecular design principles still faces challenges. Herein, a nonplanar wide-bandgap semiconductor with Csp3-hindrance (DOCH3-DDPA-SFX) has been designed and synthesized. An effective crystallization effect of self-assembled two-dimensional nanosheets on charge trapping dynamics and kinetics is visualized by Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM). The trapped charges are localized completely on a single nanosheet, which has better charge trapping and retention properties than an amorphous film. Meanwhile, crystallization also greatly improves structure stability. Combining DFT theoretical calculations, the mechanisms of localization and long-term retention are discussed. The steric crystallization effects on the charge localization will guide the effective design of single-component semiconducting charge-memory materials by molecular assembly and aggregate control for high-performance organic memory.
