研究目的
To develop high mobility ambipolar conjugated polymers with balanced hole and electron mobility for printed organic complementary logic circuits using a two-step C–H activation strategy.
研究成果
The two-step C–H activation strategy successfully produced ambipolar conjugated polymers with high and balanced hole/electron mobilities, excellent solubility, and suitability for inkjet printing, enabling the fabrication of organic complementary logic circuits with transition voltages near VDD/2, offering a cost-efficient and general approach for printed electronics.
研究不足
The performance of inkjet-printed devices is inferior to spin-coated ones due to ambient processing and uneven surfaces. The use of toxic chlorinated solvents may limit industrial applicability, though greener alternatives were tested with reduced performance.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A two-step C–H activation strategy was used for synthesizing copolymers PDBD-T and PDBD-Se, involving palladium-catalyzed C–H activation reactions. OFETs were fabricated with a top-gated architecture on PET substrates, and inkjet printing was employed for patterning.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Polymers were synthesized from specific monomers (e.g., DBD, thiophene, selenophene). OFET devices were fabricated and characterized.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes a Keithley 4200 semiconductor characterization system, Microfab Jetlab II inkjet-printer, Schlenk tubes, thermal evaporation systems, spin coaters, and AFM/GIWAXS instruments. Materials include PET substrates, gold contacts, PMMA dielectric, aluminum gates, solvents like o-DCB and TCE, and catalysts such as Herrmann–Beller palladacycle.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Synthesis involved C–H activation polymerization. Device fabrication included spin-coating or inkjet-printing polymer layers, annealing, depositing PMMA dielectric and aluminum gate, and electrical characterization.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Mobility was calculated from transfer curves using saturation equations. GIWAXS and AFM were used for structural and morphological analysis.
