Summary High-performance n-type (electron-transporting or n-channel) polymer semiconductors are critical components for the realization of various organic optoelectronic devices and complementary circuits, and recent progress has greatly advanced the performance of organic thin-film transistors, all-polymer solar cells, and organic thermoelectrics, to cite just a few. This Perspective focuses on the recent development of high-performance n-type polymer structures, particularly those based on the most investigated and novel electron-deficient building blocks, as well as summarizes the performance achieved in the above devices. In addition, this Perspective offers our insights into developing new electron-accepting building blocks and polymer design strategies, as well as discusses the challenges and opportunities in advancing n-type device performance.
