Radical electron-induced cellulose-semiconductors.

ABSTRACT: Bio-semiconductors are expected to be similar to organic semiconductors; however, they have not been utilized in application yet. In this study, we show the origin of electron appearance, N- and S-type negative resistances, rectification, and switching effects of semiconductors with energy storage capacities of up to 418.5 mJ/m² using granulated amorphous kenaf cellulose particles (AKCPs). The radical electrons in AKCP at 295 K appear in cellulose via the glycosidic bond C₁-O₁^·-C₄. Hall effect measurements indicate an n-type semiconductor with a carrier concentration of 9.89 × 10¹⁵/cm³, which corresponds to a mobility of 10.66 cm²/Vs and an electric resistivity of 9.80 × 10² Ωcm at 298 K.
