Random Copolymers Allow Control of Crystallization and Microphase Separation in Fully Conjugated Block Copolymers

Abstract: Thin films of fully conjugated donor−acceptor block copolymers composed of an electron donating block and an electron accepting block can be used as single component photoactive layers in organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices. In order to realize their full potential, control over microphase separation and thin-film morphology are critical. In conjugated block copolymer systems where one or more blocks can crystallize, the morphological evolution is governed by the competition between microphase separation and cr… Show more

“…For instance, the PFTBT blocks incorporated into copolymer poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl)-block-poly((9,9-dioctylfluo rene-2,7-diyl)-alt-(4,7-di(thiophene-2-yl)-2,1,3-benzothiadia zole)-5′,5″-diyl) (P3HT-b-PFTBT) could suppress the strong crystallization of P3HT blocks caused by the molecular ordering during casting. [154,289] The suppressed crystallization of P3HT formed a favorable microphase structure during TA in 195°C. Through the copolymerization strategy and annealing, the P3HT-b-PFTBT-based single component PSCs obtained a promising PCE of 3.2%.…”

“…This strategy can easily adjust the energy level and absorption spectrum of terpolymer by controlling the D/A unit ratio in the polymer backbone . Also, the crystallization and microphase separation of the copolymer could be modulated by random copolymer methods . Furthermore, the fine-tuning solid-state packing of the photoactive layer could remarkably improve the photovoltaic characteristics through side-chain engineering using random polymerization .…”

“…Such control over polymer architecture is highly beneficial for tuning the material properties, such as the solubility, optical absorption bands, and the packing morphology in the aggregated states, which facilitate diverse potential applications of CPs. 29 Palladium (Pd) finds extensive catalytic usage in the chemical and petroleum industry. Increased Pd pollutions in the environment and biological systems have been recognized recently.…”

“…The monomer distribution in the CP by this approach is different from that of alternating polymers obtained by polycondensation reactions. Such control over polymer architecture is highly beneficial for tuning the material properties, such as the solubility, optical absorption bands, and the packing morphology in the aggregated states, which facilitate diverse potential applications of CPs. , …”
