Influence of Backbone Curvature on the Organic Electrochemical Transistor Performance of Glycolated Donor-Acceptor Conjugated Polymers.

ABSTRACT: Two new glycolated semiconducting polymers PgBT(F)2gT and PgBT(F)2gTT of differing backbone curvatures were designed and synthesised for application as p-type accumulation mode organic electrochemical transistor (OECT) materials. Both polymers demonstrated stable and reversible oxidation, accessible within the aqueous electrochemical window, to generate polaronic charge carriers. OECTs fabricated from PgBT(F)2gT featuring a curved backbone geometry attained a higher volumetric capacitance of 170 F cm^-3 . However, PgBT(F)2gTT with a linear backbone displayed overall superior OECT performance with a normalised peak transconductance of 3.00×10⁴ mS cm^-1 , owing to its enhanced order, expediting the charge mobility to 0.931 cm² V^-1 s^-1 .

Enhanced Organic Electrochemical Transistor Performance of Donor-Acceptor Conjugated Polymers Modified with Hybrid Glycol/Ionic Side Chains by Postpolymerization Modification.

Project description:Emergent bioelectronic technologies are underpinned by the organic electrochemical transistor (OECT), which employs an electrolyte medium to modulate the conductivity of its organic semiconductor channel. Here we utilize postpolymerization modification (PPM) on a conjugated polymer backbone to directly introduce glycolated or anionic side chains via fluoride displacement. The resulting polymers demonstrated increased volumetric capacitances, with subdued swelling, compared to their parent polymer in p-type enhancement mode OECTs. This increase in capacitance was attributed to their modified side chain configurations enabling cationic charge compensation for thin film electrochemical oxidation, as deduced from electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance measurements. An overall improvement in OECT performance was recorded for the hybrid glycol/ionic polymer compared to the parent, owing to its low swelling and bimodal crystalline orientation as imaged by grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering, enabling its high charge mobility at 1.02 cm2·V-1·s-1. Compromised device performance was recorded for the fully glycolated derivative compared to the parent, which was linked to its limited face-on stacking, which hindered OECT charge mobility at 0.26 cm2·V-1·s-1, despite its high capacitance. These results highlight the effectiveness of anionic side chain attachment by PPM as a means of increasing the volumetric capacitance of p-type conjugated polymers for OECTs, while retaining solid-state macromolecular properties that facilitate hole transport.

Electronic properties and optical spectra of donor-acceptor conjugated organic polymers.

Project description:Organic semiconductors based on conjugated donor-acceptor (D-A) polymers are a unique platform for electronic, spintronic, and energy-harvesting devices. Understanding the electronic structure of D-A polymers with a small band gap is essential for developing next-generation technologies. Here, we investigate the electronic structure and optical spectra of cyclopentadithiophene-based closed/open-shell D-A polymers using density functional theory and the Bethe-Salpeter equation based on G[Formula: see text]W[Formula: see text] approximation. We explored the role of different acceptor units and chemical substitutions on the structural changes and, more importantly, electronic, optical, and dielectric behavior. We found that the computed first exciton peak of the polymers agreed well with the available experimentally measured optical gap. Furthermore, D-A polymers with open-shell character display higher dielectric constant than the closed-shell polymers. We show that the exceptional performance of polycyclopentadithiophene-thiophenylthiadiazoloquinoxaline (PCPDT-TTQ) as a scalable n-type material for Faradaic supercapacitors can be partly ascribed to its elevated dielectric constant. Consequently, these D-A polymers, characterized by their high dielectric constants, exhibit significant potential for various applications, including energy storage, organic electronics, and the production of dielectric films.

Controlling the Thermoelectric Performance of Doped Naphthobisthiadiazole-Based Donor-Acceptor Conjugated Polymers through Backbone Engineering.

Project description:This study investigates backbone engineering and evaluates the thermoelectric properties of FeCl3-doped naphthobisthiadiazole (NTz)-based donor-acceptor (D-A) conjugated polymer films. The NTz acceptor unit is coupled with three distinct donor units, namely dialkylated terthiophene (3T), dialkylated quaterthiophene (4T), and dialkylated bisthienyl thienothiophene (2T-TT) to yield copolymers designated as PNTz3T, PNTz4T, and PNTzTT. The difference in donor units leads to diverse molecule stacking and electronic properties, which can be systematically discovered via the three polymers. The linear structure of PNTz4T enables an orderly arrangement of side chains, thereby promoting dopant intercalation for enhanced carrier concentration. Additionally, this linear structure leads to an edge-on stacking mode, thereby improving the in-plane carrier mobility. As a result, the doped PNTz4T exhibits the highest electrical conductivity (σ) of 88.3 S cm-1 along with a Seebeck coefficient (S) of 62.2 µV K-1, thereby achieving the highest power factor (PF) of 34.2 µW m-1 K-2. These results highlight the relationship between the molecular design, microstructure, and doping effects in manipulating the thermoelectric performance of doped NTz-based D-A polymers.

Design Principles for the Acceptor Units in Donor-Acceptor Conjugated Polymers.

Project description:More than 50 different acceptor units from the experimental literature have been modeled, analyzed, and compared by using the computationally extracted data from the density functional theory (DFT) perspective for tetramer structures in the form of (D-B-A-B)4 (D, donor; A, acceptor; B, bridge) with fixed donor and bridge units. Comparison of dihedral angle between acceptor, donor, and bridge units, bond order, and hyperpolarizability reveals that these three structural properties have a dominant effect on the frontier electronic energy levels of the acceptor units. Systematic investigation of the structural properties has demonstrated the band gap energy dependency of the acceptor units on the planarity, conjugation, and the electron delocalization. Substitution effect, morphological alternation, and insertion of π-electron deficient atoms in A unit have also an important role to determine physical properties of the donor-acceptor conjugated polymers. This benchmark study will be beneficial for the band gap engineering and molecular design of the donor-acceptor copolymers using different acceptor units for the organic electronic applications.

Low Bandgap Donor-Acceptor π-Conjugated Polymers From Diarylcyclopentadienone-Fused Naphthalimides.

Project description:Two novel aromatic imides, diarylcyclopentadienone-fused naphthalimides (BCPONI-2Br and TCPONI-2Br), are designed and synthesized by condensation coupling cyclopentadienone derivatives at the lateral position of naphthalimide skeleton. It has been found that BCPONI-2Br and TCPONI-2Br are highly electron-withdrawing acceptor moieties, which possess broad absorption bands and very low-lying LUMO energy levels, as low as -4.02 eV. On the basis of both building blocks, six low bandgap D-A copolymers (P1-P6) are prepared via Suzuki or Stille coupling reactions. The optical and electrochemical properties of the polymers are fine-tuned by the variations of donors (carbazole, benzodithiophene, and dithienopyrrole) and π-conjugation linkers (thiophene and benzene). All polymers exhibit several attractive photophysical and electrochemical properties, i.e., broad near-infrared (NIR) absorption, deep-lying LUMO levels (between -3.88 and -3.76 eV), and a very small optical bandgap ( E g opt ) as low as 0.81 eV, which represents the first aromatic diimide-based polymer with an E g opt of <1.0 eV. An investigation of charge carrier transport properties shows that P5 exhibits a moderately high hole mobility of 0.02 cm2 V-1 s-1 in bottom-gate field-effect transistors (FETs) and a typical ambipolar transport behavior in top-gate FETs. The findings suggest that BCPONI-2Br, TCPONI-2Br, and the other similar acceptor units are promising building blocks for novel organic semiconductors with outstanding NIR activity, high electron affinity, and low bandgap, which can be extended to various next-generation optoelectronic devices.

Donor-acceptor polymers containing thiazole-fused benzothiadiazole acceptor units for organic solar cells.

Project description:Two p-type semiconducting donor-acceptor polymers were designed and synthesized for use in organic solar cells. The polymers combine a benzodithiophene (BDT) donor and a thiazole-fused benzothiadiazole (TzBT) acceptor. Two TzBT acceptor units are compared, one with an alkylthio group (P1) and the other with a more strongly electron-withdrawing alkylsulfonyl group (P2) at the fused thiazole ring. The strongly electron-accepting nature of the TzBT unit lowers the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy of P1 and P2 relative to that of the BT analog (PBDT-BT), without altering the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO). Despite the smaller optical band gaps, bulk heterojunction organic solar cells fabricated using these polymers in a PC71BM blend showed high open-circuit voltages. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the P1-based device reached 6.13%. Though efficiency of the P2-based device was lower, photoelectric conversion extended into the near-IR region up to 950 nm.

Parallel synthesis of donor-acceptor π-conjugated polymers by post-element transformation of organotitanium polymer.

Project description:The donor-acceptor type π-conjugated polymers having heterole units were prepared by the reaction of a regioregular organometallic polymer having both reactive titanacyclopentadiene and electron-donor thiophene-2,5-diyl units in the main chain with electrophiles such as diphenyltin dichloride, dichlorophenylphosphine, and diiodophenylarsine. For example, a polymer having electron-accepting phosphole unit was obtained in 54% yield whose number-average molecular weight (Mn) and molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) were estimated as 3,000 and 1.9, respectively. The obtained polymer exhibits a high highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and low lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels (-5.13 eV and -3.25 eV, respectively) due to the electron-donating thiophene and electron-accepting phosphole units. Reflecting upon the alternating structure of thiophene and phosphole, the polymer exhibits a band gap energy level (Eg) of 1.78 eV which is narrower than that of a derivative of poly(thiophene) (Eg = 2.25 eV).

Tunable Donor-Acceptor Linear Conjugated Polymers Involving Cyanostyrylthiophene Linkages for Visible-Light-Driven Hydrogen Production.

Project description:In this paper, an atom- and step-economic direct C-H arylation polymerization (DArP) strategy was developed to access cyanostyrylthiophene (CST)-based donor-acceptor (D-A) conjugated polymers (CPs) used for photocatalytic hydrogen production (PHP) from water reduction. The new CST-based CPs CP1-CP5 with varied building blocks were systematically studied by X-ray single-crystal analysis, FTIR, scanning electron microscopy, UV-vis, photoluminescence, transient photocurrent response, cyclic voltammetry measurements, and a PHP test, which showed that the phenyl-cyanostyrylthiophene-based CP3 exhibits a superior hydrogen evolution rate (7.60 mmol h-1 g-1) compared to other conjugated polymers. The structure-property-performance correlation results obtained in this study will provide an important guideline for the rational design of high-performance D-A CPs for PHP applications.

Uncovering Backbone Conformation for Rigid DPP-Based Donor-Acceptor Conjugated Polymer Using Deuterium Labeling and Neutron Scattering.

Project description:The conjugated polymer's backbone conformation dictates the delocalization of electrons, ultimately affecting its optoelectronic properties. Most conjugated polymers can be viewed as semirigid rods with their backbone embedded among long alkyl side chains. Thus, it is challenging to experimentally quantify the conformation of a conjugated backbone. Here, we performed contrast variation neutron scattering on rigid conjugated donor-acceptor (D-A) diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) polymers with selectively deuterated side chains to measure the conjugated backbone conformation. We first synthesized DPP-based polymers with deuterated side chains, confirmed by NMR and FTIR. Using contrast variation neutron scattering, we found that the DPP-based conjugated polymers are much more rigid than poly(3-alkylthiophenes), with persistence length (L p) at 16-18 nm versus 2-3 nm. More importantly, in contrast to the relatively flexible poly(3-alkylthiophenes) whose backbone is more flexible than the whole polymer, we found that the backbone of DPP-based polymers has the same L p value compared to the whole polymer chain. This indicates that side chain interference on backbone conformation is not present for the semirigid polymer, which is further confirmed by coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CG-MD) simulations. Our work provides a novel protocol to probe polymer's backbone conformation and paradigm-shifting understanding of the backbone conformation of semirigid conjugated polymers.

Effect of Backbone Regiochemistry on Conductivity, Charge Density, and Polaron Structure of n-Doped Donor-Acceptor Polymers.

Project description:We investigated the influence of backbone regiochemistry on the conductivity, charge density, and polaron structure in the widely studied n-doped donor-acceptor polymer poly[N,N'-bis(2-octyldodecyl)-1,4,5,8-naphthalenediimide-2,6-diyl]-alt-5,5'-(2,2'-bithiophene) [P(NDI2OD-T2)]. In contrast to classic semicrystalline polymers such as poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), the regioirregular (RI) structure of the naphthalenediimide (NDI)-bithiophene (T2) backbone does not alter the intramolecular steric demand of the chain versus the regioregular (RR) polymer, yielding RI-P(NDI2OD-T2) with similar energetics and optical features as its RR counterpart. By combining the electrical, UV-vis/infrared, X-ray diffraction, and electron paramagnetic resonance data and density functional theory calculations, we quantitatively characterized the conductivity, aggregation, crystallinity, and charge density, and simulated the polaron structures, molecular vibrations, and spin density distribution of RR-/RI-P(NDI2OD-T2). Importantly, we observed that RI-P(NDI2OD-T2) can be doped to a greater extent compared to its RR counterpart. This finding is remarkable and contrasts benchmark P3HT, allowing us to uniquely study the role of regiochemistry on the charge-transport properties of n-doped donor-acceptor polymers.
