不同桥联二噻吩低带隙给受体共聚物的电子结构和光物理性质的理论研究

本文主要是通过分析吸收光谱性质来区分用于体异质结聚合物太阳能电池的两种不同桥联低带隙给受体共聚物PCPDTBT和PSBTBTS的激发态特征,进而通过分析电荷转移态（CT）特征来区分二者实现电荷分离的难易程度. 利用密度泛函理论(DFT/TD-DFT)B3LYP和CAM-B3LYP方法计算PSBTBT和PCPDTBT(n=1~4)的电子结构和光谱性质. 结果表明,从吸收光谱来看,PSBTBT与PCPDTBT的光谱相似,与太阳光谱的匹配能力相当. 而激子解离能表明二者的电荷转移态（CT）电荷分离的难易程度也相当. 然而用Si原子取代C原子后,C-Si键长明显长于C-C键长,降低了噻吩环和烷基链间的空间位阻,从而可能有利于其结晶度的提高,更加有利于载流子的传输,因此从理论上说明PSBTBT也可能具备高效太阳能电池给体材料的潜质.     

A novel strategy for synthesis of multiblock copolymers

Multi-block copolymers with well-controlled numbers of blocks and block chain length are synthesized for the first time using a 'polyinitiator'.     

Random low vinyl styrene-isoprene copolymers

The present work is to the syntheses and characterization of random, low vinyl copolymers containing styrene and isoprene (SIR’s). The content of these SIR’s ranged from 10% styrene/90% isoprene to 60% styrene/40% isoprene, and all were soluble in hexane solvent. The anionic polymerization of these SIR’s was initiated by a catalyst system of various sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) to n-butyllithium (n-BuLi) ratios. The SDBS allowed for styrene to become randomly incorporated onto the polyisoprene chain without any increase in the 3,4-unit of the isoprene. The glass transition temperature of the resulting polymers could be controlled by the styrene content and microstructure (blocky versus random) in the polymer chain. Kinetic data confirmed that styrene and isoprene have similar reaction kinetics. NMR and ozonolysis confirmed that random, low vinyl SIR’s were indeed being synthesized. The unique features of this system are that it does not metallate the polymers as was seen in the previous publication using the sodium and potassium alkoxides. Molecular weight differences due to SDBS are discussed. Finally, rubber process analyzer (RPA) results were presented for various styrenes content SIR’s.     

Synthesis and characterization of novel low band-gap polymers containing squaraine units

Novel conjugated polymers based on squaric acid having 2,5-Bis[(E)-N-alkylpyrrol-2-ylvinyl]-3-alkylthiophene(PVTVP) unit in the main chain were successfully synthesized in good yields through polycondensation reaction.Their molecular structures were characterized by FT-IR and ~1H NMR.They have good solubility in common organic solvents,good thermal stability by thermal gravimetric analysis and high molecular weights.Their optical properties were investigated by UV-vis absorption spectra in CH_2Cl_2 solution,the results indicated all these compounds showed broad and strong spectral responses from 200nm to 900nm, suggesting their potential for application as organic plastic solar cells.     

Incorporation of furan into low band-gap polymers for efficient solar cells

The design, synthesis, and characterization of the first examples of furan-containing low band-gap polymers, PDPP2FT and PDPP3F, with substantial power conversion efficiencies in organic solar cells are reported. Inserting furan moieties in the backbone of the conjugated polymers enables the use of relatively small solubilizing side chains because of the significant contribution of the furan rings to overall polymer solubility in common organic solvents. Bulk heterojunction solar cells fabricated from furan-containing polymers and PC(71)BM as the acceptor showed power conversion efficiencies reaching 5.0%.     

Synthesis and properties of novel low band-gap polymers bearing squaraine units

<正>Novel main-chain-conjugated poly(carbazol-alt-squaraine) and poly(dipyridyl-alt-squaraine) were successfully synthesized through direct polycondensation of 9-(2-ethylhexyl)carbazole-bridged or dipyridyl-bridged bispyrrole and squaric acid.The structures and properties of the polymers were characterized using ~1H NMR,FT-IR,UV-vis and cyclic voltammetry.Both polymers exhibit excellent solubility in common organic solvents and good thermal stability.Their UV-vis absorption spectra indicated the polymers have broad and strong spectral responses from 200 nm to 900 nm,which reveals a low optical band gap around 1.38 eV, suggesting that they may be promising candidates for organic solar cells.     

Synthesis and photovoltaic properties of fluorene-based copolymers with narrow band-gap units on the side chain

A series of novel polyfluorene copolymers are developed by covalently attaching narrow band gap aryl-heterocycle units of Th-BT-TPA to the side chain of polyfluorene with an alkyl phenyl spacer through Pd-catalyzed Suzuki coupling reactions. The resulting copolymers are soluble in common organic solvents. The electrochemical, optical, and photovoltaic properties of the copolymers are studied. Electrochemical and optical analysis reveal that these polymers exhibit relatively low band gaps from 1.95 to 2.00 eV and exhibit strong absorption in the 300-620 nm region. BHJ solar cells blending copolymers PF-MR15-DBT35 with [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) (1:1 weight ratio) as the active layer present a high open-circuit voltage (V_oc∼1.0 V) and a power conversion efficiency of 0.7% under simulated solar light AM1.5G (80 mW/cm²). Further investigations of other polyfluorene copolymers with narrow band gap aryl-heterocycle units on the side chain are in progress.     

Nitroxide mediated synthesis of low dispersity random copolymers for low‐loss optical waveguides

Candidate materials for low‐loss optical waveguides based on poly(glycidyl methacrylate‐ran‐pentafluostyrene) [P(GMA‐ran‐PFS)] copolymers were synthesized by nitroxide mediated polymerization (NMP) initiated with BlocBuilder^® [N‐(2‐methylpropyl)‐N‐(1‐diethlphosphono‐2,2‐dimethylpropyl)‐O‐(2‐carboxylprop‐2‐yl) hydroxylamine] bearing a succinimidyl ester group (NHS‐BlocBuilder) at 90 °C in 1,4 dioxane. The copolymerizations yielded copolymers with low dispersity M_w/M_n between 1.2 and 1.4. The core structure of single‐mode channel waveguides was fabricated by direct UV lithographic patterning. The copolymers with low M_w/M_n resulted in line width roughness (LWR) of about 0.16 μm, whereas LWR of copolymers with M_w/M_n=3.5 but similar compositions was about 0.5 μm. The improvement in microstructural control allotted by NMP permitted finer pattern replication for copolymers desired for optical waveguides, as suggested for photoresist polymers. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Self-assembly behavior of rod-coil-rod triblock copolymers within a planar slit

The self-assembly behavior of sphere-forming R₅C₃₀R₅ triblock copolymers within a planar slit is studied by performing dissipative particle dynamics simulations. A sequence of novel structures which are not observed in bulk are formed within slits, including wetting layers, island-like structure, parallel cylinders, perpendicular cylinders and cross-cylindrical structures. Perpendicular cylinders are always formed before the increase in the layers of parallel cylinders. A phase diagram of the assembled structures with respective to the slit property and height is thus presented. The rod length is found to have a significant impact on the rod alignment, and a disordered-ordered transition of rod orientation occurs with an increase in the length of rod blocks. Some special structures, such as parallel half-cylinders and arrowhead-shaped morphology, are observed when the rod length increases to a certain extent. Our results show that the property and height of the slit and rod length all influence the self-assembly of rod-coil-rod triblock copolymers.
