In recent years,fused aromatic dithienobenzodithiophene (DTBDT)-based functional semiconductors have been potential candidates for organic electronics.Due to the favorable features of excellent planarity,strong crystallinity,high mobility,and so on,DTBDT-based semiconductors have demonstrated remarkable performance in organic electronic devices,such as organic feld-effect transistor (OFET),organic photovoltaic (OPV),organic photodetectors (OPDs).Driven by this success,recent developments in the area of DTBDT-based semiconductors for applications in electronic devices are reviewed,focusing on OFET,OPV,perovskite solar cells (PSCs),and other organic electronic devices with a discussion of the relationship between molecular structure and device performance.Finally,the remaining challenges,and the key research direction in the near future are proposed,which provide a useful guidance for the design of DTBDT-based materials.
