Bio-derived and Eco-Friendly Solvent-Processed High-Mobility Ambipolar Plastic Transistors through Controlled Irregularity of Polymer Backbone
2019
The development of top-performing π-conjugated polymers that can provide good solubility and processability in nontoxic solvents is imperative for the advancement of organic electronic devices. Herein, we report eco-friendly solution-processable semiconducting copolymers prepared by using two dithienylvinylene (TVT) and selenophene (Se) donor units in conjugation with diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) as an acceptor moiety. A series of the copolymers are fabricated with different TVT to Se composition ratios present in the DPP backbone that are represented by [10-0], [7-3], [5-5], [3-7], [2-8], [1-9], and [0-10]. Detailed structure–property investigations covering optical, electrochemical, morphological, and charge-transport properties with respect to the TVT/Se ratio in the copolymers are performed by a series of structural characterization techniques. The best ambipolar charge transport is obtained from [3-7] for which the hole mobility (μh) is 6.31 cm2 V–1 s–1 and the electron mobility (μe) is 0.78 cm2 V–1 s–...
