In June 2024, Yuan Li’s group found that incorporating "mixed backbones" into molecular tunneling junctions with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) can effectively block leakage currents, significantly enhancing the rectification ratio and improving performance in various challenging conditions. The approach leverages the interaction between interfacial dipole moments and electric fields, demonstrating the potential of dynamic molecular behaviors for practical electronic applications.
