Tuning the Cross-Linker Crystallinity of a Stretchable Polymer Semiconductor
摘要： The cross-linking of conjugated polymers has been demonstrated to be an effective strategy to improve its elastic properties to give deformable semiconductors for plastic electronics. While there have been extensive studies of the structural requirements of the polymer host for good film ductility, no work to date has focused on the relevance of the structural design or chemistry of these cross-linker additives. In this study, urethane groups and tertiary carbon atoms are inserted into the alkyl backbone of perfluorophenyl azide-based cross-linkers to investigate the importance of cross-linker crystallinity with respect to polymer morphology and hence mechanical and electrical properties. Linear cross-linkers with hydrogen bonding from urethane groups readily phase separate and recrystallize in the polymer network to form cross-linked domains that obstruct the strain distribution of the polymer film. Branch cross-linkers with tertiary carbon on the other hand form an evenly cross-linked network in the polymer blend stemming from excellent miscibility and show a 4-fold increase in fracture strain. Furthermore, a stable hole mobility of 0.2 cm2 V?1 s?1 is achieved up to ε = 100%, and a stable hole mobility of 0.1 cm2 V?1 s?1 after 2000 cycles of ε = 25% on fully stretchable organic field-effect transistors.

Polymer morphology and interfacial charge transfer dominate over energy-dependent scattering in organic-inorganic thermoelectrics
摘要： Hybrid (organic-inorganic) materials have emerged as a promising class of thermoelectric materials, achieving power factors (S2σ) exceeding those of either constituent. The mechanism of this enhancement is still under debate, and pinpointing the underlying physics has proven dif?cult. In this work, we combine transport measurements with theoretical simulations and ?rst principles calculations on a prototypical PEDOT:PSS-Te(Cux) nanowire hybrid material system to understand the effect of templating and charge redistribution on the thermoelectric performance. Further, we apply the recently developed Kang-Snyder charge transport model to show that scattering of holes in the hybrid system, de?ned by the energy-dependent scattering parameter, remains the same as in the host polymer matrix; performance is instead dictated by polymer morphology manifested in an energy-independent transport coef?cient. We build upon this language to explain thermoelectric behavior in a variety of PEDOT and P3HT based hybrids acting as a guide for future work in multiphase materials.
