Organic semiconductors: cheaper, more sustainable, conductive and stable using air as dopant

"dipping conductive plastic (instead of silicon) into salt solution, room temperature photocatalyst dopants (light activated oxygen analogous with photosynthesis) enhances conductivity), inducing positive (p-doping) or negative (n-doping) charges, electron transfer from dopant to organic semiconductor... solution recovered leaving behind p-doped conductive plastic... p- and n-doping in same reaction, parallel manufacturing (scalable)... thermoelectrics, digital displays, solar cells, LEDs, sensors, implants, energy storage"
