In this article, we present a novel and promising approach to enhance the device performance and stability by the simple incorporation of all conjugated polythiophene diblock copolymers, poly(3-hexylthiophene)-b-poly(3-triethylene glycol thiophene) (P3HT-b-P3TEGT), into the active layer based on inverted device structures. During the spin-coating process, the triethylene glycol side chains of P3HT-b-P3TEGT would spontaneously migrate vertically towards the active layer surface and form a nanoscale self-assembled anode buffer layer, which simultaneously drives the orderly packing of donor polymer chains and vertical phase separation morphology, allowing electrons and holes to move more efficiently to the respective electrode. Moreover, the nanoscale self-assembled buffer layer can form interfacial modification and ohmic contact between the active layer and Ag (or MoO3/Ag) electrode, reduce the contact resistance of the device, and increase the electrical conduction of the device, especially upon chelating lithium ions (Li+) to the triethylene glycol side chains of P3HT-b-P3TEGT. Combining the above advantages, the efficiency and stability of the polymer solar cells are enhanced. A remarkable improvement in the PCE with 7.3% (measured in air) is obtained for PBDTTT-C-T:PC71BM devices. This journal is
Conjugated thiophene-containing polymer zwitterions: Direct synthesis and thin film electronic properties

, p. 344 - 351 (2013)
We report a direct and facile synthesis of novel conjugated polymeric zwitterions (CPZs) as a simple route to electronically active homopolymers and copolymers containing dipole-inducing pendent zwitterions. Sulfobetaine- containing polythiophenes (PTSB-1 and PTSB-2) and alternating thiophene-benzothiadiazoles (PTBTSB-1 and PTBTSB-2) were prepared and characterized relative to alkylated polymer analogues (POT-a-T and POT-a-BT). The polar zwitterionic side chains make these polymers hydrophilic and salt-responsive, with interesting electronic properties that depend on zwitterion distance from the conjugated polymer backbone (tether length), as characterized by UV-vis absorption and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS). Close proximity (CH2 spacer) of the sulfobetaine groups to the polymer backbone results in increased ionization potential and enlarged band gaps of 2.19 and 2.04 eV for PTSB-1 and PTBTSB-1, respectively. On Au and Ag surfaces, the zwitterionic pendent groups significantly alter the work function due to the presence of an interfacial dipole, with the largest interfacial dipoles measuring -1.29 eV (PTBTSB-1/Au) and -0.69 eV (PTBTSB-1/Ag).
Design and synthesis of fluorescence "turn-on" chemosensors based on photoinduced electron transfer in conjugated polymers

A new approach to fluorescence "turn-on" chemosensors based on a photoinduced electron transfer (PET) strategy involving conjugated polymers has been developed. Two new conjugated polymers dea-PPETE and tmeda-PPETE were synthesized and characterized. These two polymers use diethylamino and N,N,N'-trimethylethylenediamino as receptors, respectively, on a poly[p-(phenyleneethylene)-alt-(thienyleneethynylene)] (PPETE) fluorescent conjugated polymer backbone. The polymers were found to be relatively weakly emissive at λmax ～ 488 nm with quantum yields of 0.11 and 0.09, respectively, at room temperature in THF solution. Initial investigations show that the tmeda-PPETE selectively detects some metal cations by an observed increase in fluoresence. In particular, Hg2+ in aqueous solution causes the fluorescence of tmeda-PPETE to increase by a factor of 2.7 at less than micromolar concentrations. The photophysical results are consistent with a PET mechanism for fluorescence quenching, which is removed upon binding of the analyte.

A study on regulating the conjugate position of NLO chromophores for reducing the dipole moment and enhancing the electro-optic activities of organic materials
Zhang, Hui,Tian, Yanxin,Bo, Shuhui,Xiao, Linghan,Ao, Yuhui,Zhang, Ji,Li, Ming

In order to improve the first-order hyperpolarizability (β) of the chromophore and transform it into a high macroscopic electro-optic activity, a series of novel second-order nonlinear optical chromophores with different push-pull electron groups introduced on the thiophene π-conjugate bridge for tuning the shape and dipole moment (μ) of chromophores were designed and synthesized. These chromophores are based on the same thiophene π-conjugated bridge, where the donor (N,N-diethylaniline) and acceptor (2-(3-cyano-4,5,5-trimethylfuran-2(5H)-ylidene)malononitrile or malononitrile) are linked to positions 2 and 3 of thiophene, respectively, affording a boomerang-like shape instead of a rod-like shape. Besides, an electron-poor group, Br (bromine atom), or an electron-rich group, DEA (N,N-diethylaniline), as an auxiliary acceptor or donor are linked to position 5 of thiophene. In addition, all chromophores showed good thermal stability as per the results from the DSC and TGA analysis. Through UV-vis analysis and DFT calculation, it has been concluded that chromophores with additional electron-rich groups as auxiliary donors display better intermolecular charge-transfer (ICT) absorption and lower HOMO-LUMO energy gaps (ΔE). Furthermore, the boomerang-like chromophore with the same push-pull structure shows a smaller dipole moment (μ) and β value than the traditional FTC. The poling results of guest-host EO polymers FTC/APC, FTC-H/APC, FTC-Br/APC and FTC-DEA/APC with the same number density afford r33 values of 17 pm V-1, 11 pm V-1, 10 pm V-1 and 25 pm V-1, respectively. Although the β value of FTC-DEA is smaller than that of FTC, the r33 value of FTC-DEA (25 pm V-1) is 47% greater than that of FTC (17 pm V-1) under the same number density. Hence, the above-mentioned results indicated that regulating the conjugate position of chromophores can efficiently decrease the dipole moment of the chromophores, weakening the dipole-dipole interactions and thereby enhancing the macroscopic electro-optical activity of poled polymers. These results indicate the potential application of these novel chromophores in electro-optical devices.
1,2,3-Triazolyl functionalized thiophene, carbazole and fluorene based A-: Alt -B type π-conjugated copolymers for the sensitive and selective detection of aqueous and vapor phase nitroaromatics (NACs)

supporting information, p. 14469 - 14480 (2020/11/09)
A series of highly emissive π-conjugated A-alt-B type copolymers (P1-P3) appended with a 1,2,3-triazole moiety was synthesized via Suzuki polymerization. The well-defined and soluble π-conjugated copolymers were characterized via multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and tetradetector GPC studies, showing a molecular weight (Mn) in the range of 16.4-20.1 kDa with a polydispersity index in the range of 1.25-1.42. The synthesized emissive π-conjugated polymer probes were explored as fluorescent chemosensors for nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) in solution, vapor and contact mode. Detailed photophysical and sensing studies were performed to understand the polymer-NAC interaction, inducing the selective fluorescence quenching of the π-conjugated polymer probes through the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) mechanism. All the polymeric probes (P1-P3) were highly reversible in nature with NACs, and thus could be reused multiple times. The limit of detection of the probes towards nitroaromatics was found to be in the range of 120-200 ppb with a high association constant in the order of 104 M-1. Furthermore, test paper kits were also fabricated, which allowed the trace detection of picric acid by the naked eye, making it a practical means for the quick, easy and inexpensive on-site detection of NAC-based explosives.

Four new D—A type copolymers with 2D-conjugated side-chain identified PfToBT, PbToBT, PfTDPP and PbTDPP, containing two acceptors 4,7-dithien-2-yl-benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole (DTBT), and diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) linked by thiophene donors, are obtained using Pd-catalyzed Stille-coupling reaction. These polymers show a broad visible-near-infrared absorption band (Eg?=?1.79–1.66?eV) and possess a relatively low-lying HOMO level at ?5.34 to ?5.12?eV. All the polymer:PC70BM blend films showed edge-on structure and have similar dπ-spacing values. According to the structure of conjugated side-chain, the vertical distributions of polymer chains and PC70BM within the BHJ (bulk heterojunction) were different. When DPP used as an acceptor, conjugated side chains of the polymer coexisted with PC70BM in same position. The BHJ film prepared from PfToBT, PbToBT had a discontinuous network between polymer and PC70BM, whereas films from PfTDPP and PbTDPP formed continuous and evenly distributed network between them. This optimized vertical morphology promotes hole transport along respective pathways of polymers and fullerenes in the vertical direction, leading to high JSC. PbTDPP shows PCE up to 2.9% (Jsc of 9.4?mA/cm2, Voc of 0.68 V, and FF of 0.44).
