研究目的
To develop a new design strategy for photoresponsive conjugated polymers by incorporating azobenzene groups into the side chains to achieve fast and reversible optically tunable field-effect transistors with high photofatigue resistance.
研究成果
The research successfully demonstrated a novel strategy for creating photoresponsive semiconductors by covalently linking azobenzene to side chains, enabling fast and reversible optical tuning of FET properties with high fatigue resistance. This approach avoids issues like phase segregation in blends and offers potential for multifunctional optoelectronic devices.
研究不足
The study is limited to one specific polymer (PDAZO) and may not generalize to other systems. The azobenzene groups show slow dark reversion over days, which could affect long-term stability. Device performance might be influenced by film morphology and processing conditions.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved designing and synthesizing a conjugated polymer (PDAZO) with azobenzene groups in the side chains. The rationale was to enable fast photoisomerization and modulate charge transport properties. Methods included Stille polymerization, UV-vis spectroscopy, NMR, cyclic voltammetry, thermogravimetric analysis, atomic force microscopy, and FET fabrication and characterization.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
PDAZO polymer was synthesized and characterized. Thin films were prepared on OTS-modified SiO2/Si substrates. Data were obtained from spectroscopic measurements, device testing, and theoretical calculations.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Spin coater for thin film preparation, UV and visible light sources (365 nm and 470 nm with specified power densities), atomic force microscope, gel permeation chromatography, thermogravimetric analyzer, cyclic voltammeter, FET test setup, GIWAXS for structural analysis.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
PDAZO was synthesized and characterized. Thin films were spin-coated and thermally annealed. FETs were fabricated in bottom-gate/bottom-contact configuration. Devices were irradiated with UV and visible light, and electrical characteristics (transfer curves, drain-source currents) were measured before and after irradiation. Reversible cycles were tested, and GIWAXS was used to study structural changes.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using standard techniques for mobility calculation from transfer curves, absorption intensity changes from UV-vis spectra, and structural analysis from GIWAXS patterns. Theoretical calculations were performed to model dipole moment changes.
