有机电子学在过去的40年里发展迅速。1977年，一项开创性的发现表明，一种被称为聚乙炔的聚合物可以像金属一样导电。这是一个开创性的发现，导致了2000年的诺贝尔化学奖。用于有机电子器件的聚合物现在已经被广泛研究用于有机太阳能电池（OSC）、有机场效应晶体管（OFFET）、可印刷电子器件、柔性电子器件、抗静电涂层、致动器以及最近的生物电子器件。特别地，有机电子器件的实用性可见于在有机发光二极管（OLED）中使用有机电子材料的商业成功，其中OLED显示器可以在移动的电话中看到并且作为平板显示器。在本文中，我们提供了一个针对高中学生的教程，描述这些特殊类别的聚合物的功能，以及它们如何合成。本文进一步讨论了这些材料在两个方面的应用：有机太阳能电池和有机发光二极管。本文最后简要讨论了高中学生科学课堂上可以开展的实践活动。
Organic electronics has developed rapidly over the past 40 years. In 1977, a seminal discovery was reported that showed that a polymer known as polyacetylene could conduct electricity as well as metals could. This was a groundbreaking discovery that led to a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2000. The polymers that are used in organic electronics have now been widely studied for use in organic solar cells (OSCs), organic field effect transistors (OFETs), printable electronics, flexible electronics, antistatic coatings, actuators, and more recently in bioelectronics. In particular, the utility of organic electronics is seen in the commercial success of using organic electronic materials in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) where OLED displays can be seen in mobile phones and as flat panel displays. In this paper, we provide a tutorial targeting upper secondary students describing how these special classes of polymers function, and how they can be synthesized. The paper further discusses the use of these materials in two applications: organic solar cells and organic light-emitting diodes. The paper ends with a brief discussion about hands-on activities that can be carried out in the upper secondary student science classroom.
