Decoupling Poly(3-alkylthiophenes)’ Backbone and Side-Chain Conformation by Selective Deuteration and Neutron Scattering

Journal Article Cao, Zhiqiang ; Li, Zhaofan ; Zhang, Song ; ... - Macromolecules

Although considerable progress has been made to optimize the optoelectronic properties of conjugated polymers (CPs), the rational design of CPs with tailored physical properties for end-use applications remains a significant challenge. Specifically, experimental characterization of conjugated polymer backbone conformations remains underexplored due to limited techniques that are capable of distinguishing the backbone and side-chain structures at nanoscopic resolution. Thus, relating the electronically functional backbone conformation to the material’s macroscopic optoelectronic property is an ongoing challenge. Here, small-angle neutron scattering techniques (SANS) with contrast-variation (CV) experiments are employed on poly(3-alkylthiophenes) (P3ATs) with both deuterated and protonated side chains in a mixturemore »« less

Side chain length affects backbone dynamics in poly(3-alkylthiophene)s

Journal Article Zhan, Pengfei ; Zhang, Wenlin ; Jacobs, Ian E. ; ... - Journal of Polymer Science. Part B, Polymer Physics

Charge transport in conjugated polymers may be governed not only by the static microstructure but also fluctuations of backbone segments. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we predict the role of side chains in the backbone dynamics for regiorandom poly(3-alkylthiophene-2,5-diyl)s (P3ATs). Here, we show that the backbone of poly(3-dodecylthiophene-2-5-diyl) (P3DDT) moves faster than that of poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) as a result of the faster motion of the longer side chains. To verify our predictions, we investigated the structures and dynamics of regiorandom P3ATs with neutron scattering and solid state NMR. Measurements of spin-lattice relaxations (T1) using NMR support our prediction of faster motionmore »« less

Influence of side-chain isomerization on the isothermal crystallization kinetics of poly(3-alkylthiophenes)

Journal Article Qian, Zhiyuan ; Luo, Shaochuan ; Qu, Tengfei ; ... - Journal of Materials Research

Flexible alkyl side chain in conjugate polymers (CPs) improves the solubility and promotes solution processability, in addition, it affects interchain packing and charge mobilities. Despite the well-known charge mobility and morphology correlation for these semi-crystalline polymers, there is a lack of fundamental understanding of the impact of side chain on their crystallization kinetics. In the present work, isothermal crystallization of five poly(3-alkylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3ATs) with different side-chain structures were systematically investigated. To suppress the extremely fast crystallization and trap the sample into amorphous glass, an advanced fast scanning chip calorimetry technique, which is able to quench the sample with few tomore »« less

Ion diffusion coefficients in poly(3-alkylthiophenes) for energy conversion and biosensing: role of side-chain length and microstructure

Journal Article Harris, Jonathan K. ; Ratcliff, Erin L. - Journal of Materials Chemistry C

Conductive polymers are promising materials as active elements for energy storage and conversion devices due to mixed ion–electron conduction. The ion diffusion coefficient is a relative measure of the efficacy of ion transport, allowing for comparison between materials and electrochemical conditions. In this work, diffusion coefficients of hexafluorophosphate (PF6–) counterions in poly(3-alkylthiophene) (P3AT) materials are measured as a function of both side-chain length and microstructure using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). For semi-crystalline films, the diffusion coefficient is found to be anomalous and nearly independent of applied electrochemical potential. Here, the anomalous behavior of diffusion indicates that spin casting yields compactmore »« less

High Dielectric Constant Semiconducting Poly(3-alkylthiophene)s from Side Chain Modification with Polar Sulfinyl and Sulfonyl Groups

Journal Article Wang, Chunlai ; Zhang, Zhongbo ; Pejić, Sandra ; ... - Macromolecules

In this paper, there is growing interest in designing and developing high dielectric constant (ε_r) organic semiconductors because they have the potential to further enhance device performance by promoting exciton dissociation, reducing bimolecular charge carrier recombination, and potentially enhancing charge carrier mobility via charge screening. In this study, a new class of semiconducting polymers with high ε_r, i.e., sulfinylated and sulfonylated poly(3-alkylthiophene)s (P3ATs), were synthesized. Because of efficient rotation of highly polar methylsulfinyl and methylsulfonyl side groups (i.e., orientational polarization), high ε_r values were achieved for these functionalized P3ATs based on an accurate capacitance measurement using a gold/semiconducting polymer/SiO₂/n-doped Simore »« less
