1. A conductive composition for modification of charge transport across a nanostructure-containing matrix, the composition comprising:

  • a body structure comprising a conjugated organic moiety;

    a head group coupled to the body structure at a first position on the conjugated organic moiety, wherein the head group comprises a functionalized head group capable of binding to a nanostructure surface or a head group bound to a nanostructure surface; and

    a tail group coupled to the body structure at a second position on the conjugated organic moiety;

    wherein one or more elements of the conductive composition are capable of removing or adding charges to a nanostructure upon attachment to a surface of the nanostructure, thereby modifying charge transport across a nanostructure-containing matrix.
