研究目的
To synthesize and characterize diketopyrrolopyrrole-based small molecular semiconductors containing thiazole units for use in solution-processed n-channel thin-film transistors, aiming to improve electron mobility and air stability.
研究成果
The synthesized thiazole-containing DPP-based small molecules exhibit promising n-type semiconductor properties with high electron mobilities (up to 0.28 cm2 V?1 s?1), excellent on/off ratios (>10?), and good air stability, attributed to enhanced crystallinity and molecular stacking. Introducing thiazole units effectively lowers LUMO energy levels and improves film morphology, making these materials suitable for high-performance, solution-processable n-channel OFETs. Future work could focus on further optimizing alkyl chain lengths and exploring broader applications in flexible electronics.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific small molecules with thiazole units; performance may vary with other substituents. Device fabrication and testing were under ambient conditions, but long-term stability and scalability for industrial applications were not fully explored. The electron mobilities, while good, are lower than some polymer-based semiconductors, indicating room for optimization in molecular design and processing.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved synthesizing three small molecules (2TzDPPA1-2DCV, 2TzDPPA2-2DCV, 2TzDPPA3-2DCV) via condensation and Knoevenagel reactions, followed by characterization of their thermal, optical, electrochemical properties, and fabrication of OFET devices to evaluate charge transport.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The samples were the synthesized small molecules, with data from UV-vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, TGA, XRD, AFM, and OFET measurements.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included thermogravimetric analyzer, UV-vis spectrophotometer, electrochemical workstation, X-ray diffractometer, atomic force microscope, and spin coater for device fabrication. Materials included organic solvents like CHCl3 and CH2Cl2, electrolytes such as nBu4NPF6, and substrates like OTS-modified SiO2/Si.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Synthesis was performed as per Scheme 1; thin films were spin-coated from 1,2-dichlorobenzene solutions at 4000 rpm, annealed at various temperatures, and characterized; OFET devices were fabricated in BGBC and BGTC configurations and tested under ambient conditions.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using standard equations for mobility calculation (IDS = (W/2L) Ci μ (VG-VT)2), band gap estimation from absorption edges, and LUMO/HOMO energies from CV onset potentials.
