      • Author Bio:

        Yongqiang Shi received his PhD degree from Southwest Petroleum University in 2020. He was a visiting student in Xugang Guo Group at Southern University of Science and Technology in 2017-2020. In December 2020, he joined Anhui Normal University. His research focuses on the design and synthesis of n-type polymers for organic thin-film transistors, polymer solar cells, perovskite solar cells, and organic thermoelectrics

        Liming Ding got his PhD from University of Science and Technology of China (was a joint student at Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, CAS). He started his research on OSCs and PLEDs in Olle Inganäs Lab in 1998. Later on, he worked at National Center for Polymer Research, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and Argonne National Lab (USA). He joined Konarka as a Senior Scientist in 2008. In 2010, he joined National Center for Nanoscience and Technology as a full professor. His research focuses on innovative materials and devices. He is RSC Fellow, the nominator for Xplorer Prize, and the Associate Editors for Science Bulletin and Journal of Semiconductors
