Abstract

With low-cost and simple processing, organic electrochromic polymers have attracted considerable attention as a promising material platform for flexible and low-energy-consuming optoelectronic devices. However, typical electrochromic polymers can only be switched from natural-colored to oxidized-transparent states. As a result, the complexity of combining several distinct polymers to achieve a full-color gamut has significantly limited the niche applications of electrochromic polymers. Here in this paper we report an electrochromic polymer based on 4,7-di((3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxepine-3-yl)-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEP), which exhibits fast full-color reversible tuning capability and good stability. Furthermore, a red-green-blue flexible electrochromic device just based on poly(PEP) was fabricated, which offers an effective approach to dynamically manipulate color and enables a variety of optoelectronic applications.

Highly fluorescent purine-containing conjugated copolymers with tailored optoelectronic properties

Journal Article O'Connell, C. Elizabeth ; Sabury, Sina ; Jenkins, J. Elias ; ... - Polymer Chemistry

Conjugated copolymers containing electron donor and acceptor units in their main chain have emerged as promising materials for organic electronic devices due to their tunable optoelectronic properties. In this work, we describe the use of direct arylation polymerization to create a series of fully π-conjugated copolymers containing the highly tailorable purine scaffold as a key design element. To create efficient coupling sites, dihalopurines are flanked by alkylthiophenes to create a monomer that is readily copolymerized with a variety of conjugated comonomers, ranging from electron-donating 3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxepine to electron-accepting 4,7-bis(5-bromo-3-hexylthiophen-2-yl)benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole. The comonomer choice and electronic nature of the purine scaffold allow themore »« less

A Low‐Swelling Polymeric Mixed Conductor Operating in Aqueous Electrolytes

Journal Article Nicolini, Tommaso ; Surgailis, Jokubas ; Savva, Achilleas ; ... - Advanced Materials

Abstract Organic mixed conductors find use in batteries, bioelectronics technologies, neuromorphic computing, and sensing. While great progress has been achieved, polymer‐based mixed conductors frequently experience significant volumetric changes during ion uptake/rejection, i.e., during doping/de‐doping and charging/discharging. Although ion dynamics may be enhanced in expanded networks, these volumetric changes can have undesirable consequences, e.g., negatively affecting hole/electron conduction and severely shortening device lifetime. Here, the authors present a new material poly[3‐(6‐hydroxy)hexylthiophene] (P3HHT) that is able to transport ions and electrons/holes, as tested in electrochemical absorption spectroscopy and organic electrochemical transistors, and that exhibits low swelling, attributed to the hydroxylated alkyl side‐chainmore »« less

High contrast ratio and fast-switching dual polymer electrochromic devices

Journal Article Sapp, S A ; Sotzing, G A ; Reynolds, J R - Chemistry of Materials

A series of dual polymer electrochromic devices (ECDs) based on 12 complementary pairs of conducting polymer films have been constructed using 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene-containing conducting polymers. Poly[3,6-bis(2-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene))-N-methylcarbazole] (PBEDOT-NCH{sub 3}Cz), poly[3,6-bis(2-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene))-N-eicosylcarbazole] (PBEDOT-NC{sub 20}H{sub 41}Cz), and poly[4,4{prime}-bis(2-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene))biphenyl] (PBEDOT-BP) were utilized as anodically coloring polymers that electrochemically switch between an oxidized deep blue absorptive state and a transmissive (orange or yellow) reduced state. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)(PEDOT) and its alkyl derivatives (PEDOT-C{sub 14}H{sub 29} and PEDOT-C{sub 16}H{sub 33}) have been used as high-contrast cathodically coloring polymers that switch between a deep blue absorptive state in the reduced form and a sky blue, highly transmissive state in the oxidizedmore »« less

High-contrast and fast electrochromic switching enabled by plasmonics

Journal Article Xu, Ting ; Walter, Erich C. ; Agrawal, Amit ; ... - Nature Communications

With vibrant colours and simple, room-temperature processing methods, electrochromic polymers have attracted attention as active materials for flexible, low-power-consuming devices. But, slow switching speeds in devices realized to date, as well as the complexity of having to combine several distinct polymers to achieve a full-colour gamut, have limited electrochromic materials to niche applications. We achieve fast, high-contrast electrochromic switching by significantly enhancing the interaction of light—propagating as deep-subwavelength-confined surface plasmon polaritons through arrays of metallic nanoslits, with an electrochromic polymer—present as an ultra-thin coating on the slit sidewalls. Furthermore, the switchable configuration retains the short temporal charge-diffusion characteristics of thinmore »« less

Structural and optoelectronic properties of hybrid bulk-heterojunction materials based on conjugated small molecules and mesostructured TiO{sub 2}

Journal Article Phan, Hung ; Jahnke, Justin P. ; Chmelka, Bradley F. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Improved hybrid bulk-heterojunction materials was fabricated by spin-casting a benchmark conjugated small molecule, namely, 3,6-bis(5-(benzofuran-2-yl)thiophen-2-yl)-2,5-bis(2-ethylhexyl) pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4(2H,5H)-dione (DPP(TBFu){sub 2}), into mesostructured TiO{sub 2}. Due to both a reduced molecular size and less hydrophobic nature of the conjugated molecules (relative to conjugated polymers), homogeneous and improved infiltration into the mesoporous TiO{sub 2} are achieved without the need for pre-treatment of the TiO{sub 2}. Remarkably, this small molecule can realize loadings of up to 25% of the total pore volume—2.5× the typical loadings achieved for conjugated polymers. The small molecule loading was determined using dynamic secondary ion mass spectroscopy and absorption spectroscopy. Furthermore »« less
