Phase‐change semiconductor is one of the best candidates for designing nonvolatile memory, but it has never been realized in organic semiconductors until now. Here, a phase‐changeable and high‐mobility organic semiconductor (3,6‐DATT) is first synthesized. Benefiting from the introduction of electrostatic hydrogen bond (S···H), the molecular conformation of 3,6‐DATT crystals can be reversibly modulated by the electric field and ultraviolet irradiation. Through experimental and theoretical verification, the tiny difference in molecular conformation leads to crystalline polymorphisms and dramatically distinct charge transport properties, based on which a high‐performance organic phase‐change memory transistor (OPCMT) is constructed. The OPCMT exhibits a quick programming/erasing rate (about 3 s), long retention time (more than 2 h), and large memory window (i.e., large threshold voltage shift over 30 V). This work presents a new molecule design concept for organic semiconductors with reversible molecular conformation transition and opens a novel avenue for memory devices and other functional applications.

Wearable fiber‐shaped electronic devices have drawn abundant attention in scientific research fields, and tremendous efforts are dedicated to the development of various fiber‐shaped devices that possess sufficient flexibility. However, most studies suffer from persistent limitations in fabrication cost, efficiency, the preparation procedure, and scalability that impede their practical application in flexible and wearable fields. In this study, a simple, low‐cost 3D printing method capable of high manufacturing efficiency, scalability, and complexity capability to fabricate a fiber‐shaped integrated device that combines printed fiber‐shaped temperature sensors (FTSs) with printed fiber‐shaped asymmetric supercapacitors (FASCs) is developed. The FASCs device can provide stable output power to FTSs. Moreover, the temperature responsivity of the integrated device is 1.95% °C−1. 3D printing of fiber electrodes for an all‐fiber integrated electronic device via hybridization of an asymmetric supercapacitor and a temperature sensor is reported. A self‐energy monitoring system is developed that exhibits excellent electrochemical performance and rapid temperature response. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
