摘要

Here

we regulate the aggregation states of P3HT and doping with F4TCNQ to ensure the polarons on the backbone to have high charge dissociation and transport. The dopants do not destroy the π-π interaction and only enter the alkyl side chain region which has smaller Coulomb interaction to the polarons.

Abstract

Molecular doping is one of the most important tools to manipulate the electrical properties of conjugated polymers for application in organic optoelectronics. The polymer crystallinity and distribution position of the dopant crucially determine electrical conductivity of the doped polymer. However

in solution-mixed doping

the interplay between polymer and dopant leads to highly structural disorder of polymer and random arrangement of dopant. Here

we propose a strategy to ensure the dopant induced polarons have high charge dissociation and transport by letting the conjugated polymers aggregate in the marginal solvent solution by cooling it from higher temperature to room temperature. We select poly(3-hexylthiophene-2

5-diyl) (P3HT) solution doped by 2

6-tetrafluoro-7

8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4TCNQ) as a model system. P3HT crystallizes in the marginal solvent

such as 1

2-trichloroethane (TCE) driven by the favor

interaction between planar polymer backbone. The dopant F4TCNQ enters the alkyl side chain region not the

stacking region and thus guarantees high crystallinity and the

interaction of P3HT. This distribution of F4TCNQ which away from the polymer backbone to ensure higher charge dissociation and transport. Finally

we obtained a high conductivity value of 23 S/cm by doping P3HT with 20% F4TCNQ by using the marginal solvent

which is higher than doping P3HT with a disordered coil conformation in chlorobenzene (CB) of 7 S/cm

which the dopants enter both the alkyl side chain region and the

stacking region.
