Carbon nanotubes assisting interchain charge transport in semiconducting polymer thin films towards much improved charge carrier mobility; 碳纳米管辅助共轭聚合物薄膜链间载流子传输以提高迁移率;
摘要： Conjugated polymers attracted much attention in the past few decades due to their wide applications in various optoelectronic devices and circuits. The charge transport process in conjugated polymers mainly occurs in the intrachain and interchain parts, where the interchain charge transport is generally slower than intrachain transport and may slow down the whole charge transport properties. Aiming at this issue, herein we employ semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWNTs) as efficient charge-transporting jointing channels between conjugated polymer chains for improving the charge transport performance. Taking the typical conjugated polymer, ploy-N-alkyl-diketopyrrolo-pyrrole-dithienylthieno[3,2-b]thiophene (PDPP-TT) as an example, polymer thin film transistors (PTFTs) based on the optimized blended films of PDPP-TT/s-SWNTs exhibit an obviously increasing device performance compared with the devices based on pure PDPP-TT films, with the hole and electron mobility increased from 2.32 to 12.32 cm2 V?1 s?1 and from 2.02 to 5.77 cm2 V?1 s?1, respectively. This result suggests the importance of forming continuous conducting channels in conjugated polymer thin films, which can also be extended to other polymeric electronic and optoelectronic devices to promote their potential applications in large-area, low-cost and high performance polymeric electronic devices and circuits.

Preparation and evaluation of fluorescent poly(p-phenyleneethylene) covalently coated microspheres with reactive sites for bioconjugation
摘要： Fluorescent microspheres with reactive sites for interacting with biomolecules are greatly demanded in flow cytometry based suspension array. Aiming to develop new method for preparing fluorescent microspheres, two poly(p-phenyleneethylene) (PPE) conjugated polymers (CPs) with pedant carboxylic groups were synthesized via Sonogarshira coupling and followed with hydrolysis of ester groups; then the conjugated polymers were immobilized onto monodispersed amino-modified porous poly(glycidylmethacrylate) (APGMA) microspheres via coupling reaction between carboxylic and amino groups to give APGMA-CP fluorescent microspheres. The fluorescent microspheres were found to have good photo- and thermal stability as well as negligible influence from rigorous washing. The emission was uniform all across the inner and surface of the spheres. To evaluate the effectiveness of bioconjugation on the fluorescent microspheres, fluorescein isothiocyanate isomer I (FITC) labeled bovine serum albumin (BSA) (BSA-FITC) was chosen as the representative biomolecule to react with the fluorescent microspheres to give APGMA-CP-BSA-FITC. In the flow cytometry study, fluorescence compensation between the V500 and FITC detectors (receiving signals from fluorophores excited by 405 nm and 488 nm, respectively), to remove the interference between the emission of FITC and CPs, was realized using singly-stained microspheres. Finally, APGMA-CP-BSA-FITC microspheres were found to be double positive for CP and FITC with very high percentage (>95%), suggesting the bioconjugation is very effective. This study provides a facile method for simultaneous introduction of fluorescence and reactive sites onto the microspheres, which is very promising to be used as general strategy for fabricating fluorescence microspheres for application in high-throughput technology.

Geminal Cross Coupling (GCC) Reaction for AIE Materials
摘要： Tetraphenylethylene (TPE) derivatives are typical aggregation-induced emission (AIE) molecules, which have been widely investigated and applicated. The Rathore’s procedures and McMurry reaction are the two frequently used methods for synthesizing the TPE derivatives. The complex processes and low tolerance of active function groups make the TPE with limited structures and properties in some degree. Very recently, a novel strategy, named geminal cross coupling (GCC) reaction, is developed for designing and synthesizing various topological small molecules and polymers with rich optical properties beyond simple TPE compounds, and becomes a powerful synthesis method to AIE materials. This review overviews the current progresses of AIE molecules and polymers prepared by GCC as well as their applications. We believe that GCC reaction will have a bright future in the development of the next generation of tetraarylethylene (TAE)-kind AIE materials.

Understanding Film-to-Stripe Transition of Conjugated Polymers Driven by Meniscus Instability
摘要： Meniscus instability during meniscus-guided solution coating and printing of conjugated polymers has significant impact on the deposit morphology and the charge transport characteristics. The lack of quantitative investigation on meniscus-instability-induced morphology transition for conjugated polymers hindered the ability to precisely control conjugated polymer deposition for desired applications. Herein, we report a film-to-stripe morphology transition caused by stick-and-slip meniscus instability during solution coating seen in multiple donor-acceptor polymer systems. We observe the coexistence of film and stripe morphologies at the critical coating speed. Surprisingly, higher charge carrier mobility is measured in transistors fabricated from stripes despite their same deposition condition as the films at the critical speed. To understand the origin of the morphology transition, we further construct a generalizable surface free energy model to validate the hypothesis that the morphology transition occurs to minimize the system surface free energy. As the system surface free energy varies during a stick-and-slip cycle, we focus on evaluating the maximum surface free energy at a given condition, which corresponds to the sticking state right before slipping. Indeed, we observe increase of the maximum system surface free energy with increase in coating speed prior to film-to-stripe morphology transition and abrupt drop in the maximum system surface free energy post-transition when the coating speed is further increased, which is associated with reduced meniscus length during stripe deposition. Such energetic change originates from the competition between pinning and depinning forces on a partial wetting substrate which underpins the film-to-stripe transition. This work establishes a quantitative approach for understanding meniscus-instability-induced morphology transition during solution coating. The mechanistic understanding may further facilitate the use of meniscus instability for lithography-free patterning or to suppress instability for highly homogeneous thin film deposition.

Multicolor emission from non-conjugated polymers based on a single switchable boron chromophore
摘要： Multicolor emissive and responsive materials are highly attractive due to their potential applications in various fields, and polymers are preferred for their good processability and high stability. Herein, we report a series of new polymers based on a methacrylate monomer containing a switchable boron chromophore. In spite of the unconjugated nature, interestingly, the homopolymers from this monomer display rare multicolor fluorescence in solution that is highly dependent on the degree of polymerization (DP). With an ascending DP, the local concentration of the chromophore increases, leading to a higher propensity for switching the blue emitting tricoordinate boron chromophore to the red emitting tetracoordinate one. The homopolymers also display temperature and solvent-dependent emission colour change. Furthermore, pure white-light emission could be achieved in various solvents by precisely tuning the homopolymer molecular weight, or in films/solid state by copolymerizing the emissive boron monomer with non-emissive monomers in an appropriate ratio.

High-Efficiency Perovskite Quantum Dot Solar Cells Benefiting from a Conjugated Polymer-Quantum Dot Bulk Heterojunction Connecting Layer
摘要： In this work, we reported an efficient and universal method to fabricate perovskite quantum dot (PQD) solar cells with enhanced efficiency. Through dissolving optimal amount conjugated polymers in PQD matrix solution to fabricate a polymer-QD bulk heterojunction hybrid layer located at PQD/hole transporting layer (HTL) interfaces, the resultant solar cell devices exhibit significantly enhanced short-circuit current density and efficiency. In-depth characterizations indicate that adding optimal conjugated polymer into the PQD film can effectively reduce pin-holes, resulting in more efficient interfacial charge transfer and decreased carrier recombination loss. More importantly, it shows that the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level of the conjugated polymer is crucial for achieving improved carrier transport at the PQD/HTL interfaces. Through rational selection of conjugated polymers, we achieved the best power conversion efficiency of ~14% and 13.2% for CsPbI3 and FAPbI3 PQD based solar cells respectively, situating the forefront of all reported PQD solar cells. These findings would provide insights into well controlling the organic-inorganic interfaces to improve photovoltaic devices.

The Balance between Energy Transfer and Exciton Separation in Ternary Organic Solar Cells with Two Conjugated Polymer Donor
摘要： Ternary strategy as a straightforward way for organic solar cells (OSCs) to improve the device performance attracts many interests in the field. The ternary strategy usually focuses on processing the third light-absorbing material owning a complementary absorption to the binary system. However, studying the third component with similar absorption spectra to the binary counterpart is equally essential to understand the in-depth mechanism of the performance improvement from the third component. In this work, we filled up this blank and derived a type of ternary device consisting of two conjugated polymer donor materials of PTB7-Th and PffBT4T-2OD and non-fullerene acceptor material of IEICO-4F. The average PCE value of the optimized ternary device reached 12.1%, which is around 16% higher than its PTB7-Th:IEICO-4F binary counterpart. Even the third component of PffBT4T-2OD containing a similar absorption spectrum with PTB7-Th, it was found that the Jsc increase contributes to the primary performance enhancement. Further investigations indicate that the Jsc increase in the optimized ternary device mainly came from the improved light absorption ability, current extraction process, charge transport process, and suppressed non-radiative recombination. Moreover, there is a balance found between the exciton separation process and the energy transfer process when optimizing ternary blend ratios. The optimized ternary device is suspected to reach this balance point and thus exhibits the enhancement in device performance. Morphology investigation reveals that the addition of PffBT4T-2OD can tune the morphology and increase the crystallinity in the active layer. The optimized ternary blend shows a well-mixed donor and acceptor morphology with small domain size and slightly increased crystallization, which further explained its best device performance.

Understanding the mechanisms of a conjugated polymer electrolyte for interfacial modification in solution-processed organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite photodetectors
摘要： Interfacial modification is an effective strategy to suppress the dark current in photodetectors for performance improvements. Here, solution-processed conjugated polymer electrolyte poly[(9,9-bis(3’-(N,N-dimethylamino) propyl)-2,7-fluorene)-alt-2,7-(9,9-dioctylfluorene)](PFN), widely used for interface engineering in organic and perovskite solar cells, is introduced to the photovoltaic photodetectors based on α-phase formamidinium lead iodide (α-FAPbI3) perovskite at cathode interfaces. The PFN layer has both positive and negative impacts on the overall device performances. The steady-state device parameters including external quantum efficiency, photoresponsivity, and detectivity are enhanced because the dark current is effectively suppressed due to the hindered hole injection by the PFN layer. However, the incorporation of PFN leads to different transient photocurrent dynamics with a peak after turn-on and a long-lived tail after turn-off, increasing the fall time, although it has little impact on the rise time. The proposed mechanisms involve the trapping and detrapping effects of accumulated photogenerated electrons at the electron-transporting layer/PFN interface, which are proved by capacitance-voltage measurements and impedance spectroscopy analysis. Our results have important significance for understanding the different effects and mechanisms of conjugated polymer electrolytes for interfacial engineering in photodetectors and solar cells and selecting suitable interfacial materials for electrode modification in photodetectors.
