聚苯胺衍生物电致变色薄膜的制备与物性研究

采用循环伏安电化学沉积方式分别制备了聚邻甲氧基苯胺(1)和聚邻甲氧基苯胺/邻硝基苯胺(2)电致变色薄膜, 并通过UV-Vis、分光光度仪、场发射扫描电子显微镜(SEM)对其进行性能表征. 结果显示: 变色膜1在不同电压下能实现湖绿色(U＝－0.5 V)和淡紫色(U＝0.9 V)变化, 响应时间约15 s, 最大透光率变化(DT_max)约10% (500 nm)|变色膜2在不同电压下能实现橄榄绿色(U＝－0.9 V)和深酞蓝色(U＝1.4 V)变化, 响应时间约2 s, 最大透光率变化(DT_max)约为20% (497 nm)|SEM测试得到薄膜2的厚度约550 nm, 且不同颜色状态下其表面形貌及导电性能有较大的差别. 由以上结果可以看出: 电致变色薄膜2比1具有更快的响应速度和较好的颜色对比度, 因此薄膜2是更好的电致变色材料.     

Co-occurrence of Dominant Direct and Indirect Transitions in Low Temperature Sputtered Indium Tin Oxide Thin Films on Polymers

Indium tin oxide （ITO） layers are prepared on polymethylmethacrylate and polyethylene terephthalate by rf- magnetron sputtering at room temperature. Their 3D-AFM images and visible transmittance spectra are contrastively characterized and studied. An interesting morphological effect of the polymer substrates on their top ITO layers is observed. Dominant direct and indirect transition types deduced from optical spectra are surprisingly found in ITO films on different polymers. Furthermore, qualitative band structures are figured, and some theoretical discussions about the correlation of optical band structure, interface/surface morphology and carrier density are also presented.     

新型四硫富瓦烯-三苯胺类光敏染料理论研究

在简单结构的D-π-A三苯胺光敏染料(YD1)中引入不同数量的四硫富瓦烯(TTF)单元作为次级电子给体以增强有机光敏染料的给电子能力,设计了两个结构分别为D-D-π-A (YD2)以及2D-D-π-A (YD3)的光敏染料分子,并且采用密度泛函理论(DFT)和含时密度泛函理论(TD-DFT)分别模拟计算了纯光敏剂分子及其吸附二氧化钛团簇后的几何构型、电子结构以及光物理性能。采用周期性密度泛函理论模拟计算光敏染料分子在二氧化钛(101)面吸附的表面形貌以及态密度(DOS)。计算结果表明,TTF单元的引入不仅可以有效减少光敏染料分子的团聚,还可以提升其吸收性能。此外,光吸收效率(LHE)、电子注入驱动力(ΔG^inject)以及DOS的计算结果显示,YD2和YD3理论上可以呈现出比YD1更高的短路电流密度(J_sc)以及开路电压(V_oc)。因此,通过本文的理论研究表明,TTF单元可以作为有机光敏染料中的次级电子给体来改善光敏染料的性能。     

Calculation of infrared properties of low emissivity coatings containing metallic flake pigments

The infrared emissivity of low emissivity coating can be significantly reduced by adding high content concentrations of parallel distributed metallic flake pigment. However, the infrared emissivity is very difficult to calculate by the existing theory models, such as the light scattering theory and traditional Kubelka-Munk radiative transfer model, because of shape and distribution anisotropy of flake pigments. Thus, the low emissivity coating is assumed to be the superposition structure of homogeneous layers and metallic flakes are approximately uniform and parallel arrangement in each layer. Based on geometric optics theory and Kubelka＇s layer model, considering multiple reflection, transmission and absorption of infrared radiation among different layers, the theoretical model is established to calculate the coating emissivity. The facts of binder, pigment concentration and thickness are also systematic discussed. The result shows that the law of influence on infrared emissivity can be correctly simulated by this theoretical model. Transparent binder, high volume concentration of thin flake pigment can facilitate to reduce infrared emissivity. Moreover, this model offers the possibility of predicting the infrared optical properties of coatings by their optical constants.
