We found that a submonolayer of CPE-PyrBIm4 on CVD-grown graphene forms a novel two-dimensional hybrid material that exhibits preferential transport of holes or electrons as a function of temperature. Doping efficiencies increase with the increase of the temperature used to anneal the heterobilayers and a decrease of the CPE-PyrBIm4 film thickness. The switching of the conductivity type of the thin CPE-PyrBIm4/graphene heterobilayer composite occurs when graphene is not strongly overcompensated. Moreover, the conversion of the conductivity type is reversible. Doping mechanisms under consideration include charge transfer from electron rich structural units in the CPE-PyrBIm4 backbone and/or field-effect doping as a result of interfacial electrostatic effects from adjacent ionic functionalities. This effect shows the unique and complex nature of electrical properties of the novel heterobilayer hybrid organic-inorganic CPE-PyrBIm4/graphene nanocomposite material and enhances interest in further investigations.
