Abstract:The present work aims to prepare and characterize very thin films of poly(fullerene)s in order to investigate their electrical properties and the influence of xylene and chloroform solvents on these materials. The fullerenes studied were phenyl-C 61 -butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), oligo{(phenyl-C 61 -butyric acid methyl ester)-alt-[1,4-bis(bromomethyl)-2,5-bis(octyloxy)benzene]} (OPCBMMB) and poly{[bispyrrolidino(phenyl-C 61 -butyric acid methyl ester)]-alt-[2,5-bis(octyloxy) benzene]} (PPCBMB), along with … Show more
“…This is associated with the solubility of the materials since it interferes with the organization of the molecules in the aqueous sub-phase of the Langmuir trough. This result is relevant since the films of fullerenes mixed with P3HT show improvements in conductivity/mobility, according to the literature, [73][74][75] and these improvements may be related to the fact that mixed films from P3HT show a higher homogeneity and a lower roughness, at least when prepared with chloroform.…”
Fullerente-based polymers and oligomers combine with non-fullerene acceptors are showing extremely high efficiencies in organic photovoltaic devices. Furthermore, these materials are of interest for use in anti-cancer and anti-viral treatments,...
