PEIE-DBO possesses higher electron mobility(3.68×10-4 cm2 V-1s-1), higher conductivity and more efficient exciton dissociation and electron extraction, attributed to its lower work function(3.94 eV) than that of PEIE-DCO, which results in better photovoltaic performance in OSCs. The inverted OSCs with PTB7-Th: PC71BM as photoactive layer and PEIE-DBO as ETL exhibit higher PCE of 10.52%, 9.45% and 9.09% at the thickness of 9, 35 and 50 nm,respectively. To our knowledge, PEIE-DBO possesses the best thickness-insensitive performance in polymeric ETLs of inverted fullerene-based OSCs. Furthermore, PEIE-DBO was used to fabricate the inverted non-fullerene OSCs(PM6:Y6) and obtained a high PCE of 15.74%, which indicates that PEIE-DBO is effective both in fullerene-based OSCs and fullerene-free OSCs.展开更多

Photoinduced alignment was studied onthe polymer films at room temperature with linearly polarized light of 514.5 nm, The experimental results showed that themagnetic response intensity of the TEMPO-PAZ could be easily controlled by choosing the appropriate polarized lightirradiating times, presumably due to the nitroxide radical in the TEMPO-PAZ molecular structure. For the polymerinvestigated here, the photoinduced alignment technique was introduced to increase the magnetic response intensity ofpolymer under irradiation, aiming originally at searching for a new photo-active organic magnetic multifunctional materials.On the other hand, experimental results also showed that the TEMPO-PAZ can be used as a material for optical image storage.展开更多

A new azobenzene side-chain polymer (TEMPO-PAZ) containing TEMPO radical was synthesized. The polymer has a good solubility in organic solvents. The ESR spectrum of the polymer indicated three absorption lines characteristic of TEMPO radical.

The experimental results showed that optical phase conjugated response of the TEMPO-PAZ could be easily controlled by choosing the appropriate direction of magnetic field presumably due to the nitroxide radical in the TEMPO-PAZ molecular structure. For the polymer investigated here, the nitroxide radical was introduced to increase optical phase conjugated response intensity in a magnetic field, aiming originally at searching for a new photo-active organic magnetic multifunctional materials.展开更多

文摘Organic semiconductors,especially polymer semiconductors,have attracted extensive attention as organic thermoelectric materials due to their capabilities for flexibility,low-cost fabrication,solution processability and low thermal conductivity.However,it is challenging to obtain high-performance organic thermoelectric materials because of the low intrinsic carrier concentration of organic semiconductors.The main method to control the carrier concentration of polymers is the chemical doping process by charge transfer between polymer and dopant.Therefore,the deep understanding of doping mechanisms from the point view of chemical structure has been highly desired to overcome the bottlenecks in polymeric thermoelectrics.In this contribution,we will briefly review the recently emerging progress for discovering the structure–property relationship of organic thermoelectric materials with high performance.Highlights include some achievements about doping strategies to effectively modulate the carrier concentration,the design rules of building blocks and side chains to enhance charge transport and improve the doping efficiency.Finally,we will give our viewpoints on the challenges and opportunities in the field of polymer thermoelectric materials.

文摘A new azobenzene side-chain polymer (TEMPO-PAZ) containing TEMPO (4-hydroxy-2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethyl-piperidinooxy) radical end group was synthesized by free radical copolymerization. Photoinduced alignment was studied onthe polymer films at room temperature with linearly polarized light of 514.5 nm, The experimental results showed that themagnetic response intensity of the TEMPO-PAZ could be easily controlled by choosing the appropriate polarized lightirradiating times, presumably due to the nitroxide radical in the TEMPO-PAZ molecular structure. For the polymerinvestigated here, the photoinduced alignment technique was introduced to increase the magnetic response intensity ofpolymer under irradiation, aiming originally at searching for a new photo-active organic magnetic multifunctional materials.On the other hand, experimental results also showed that the TEMPO-PAZ can be used as a material for optical image storage.

文摘To allow anisotropies of optical properties in a magnetic field, nitroxide radical is introduced into the ortho-position of the phenylene ring in the side chain. A new azobenzene side-chain polymer (TEMPO-PAZ) containing TEMPO radical was synthesized. The polymer has a good solubility in organic solvents. The ESR spectrum of the polymer indicated three absorption lines characteristic of TEMPO radical. The optical phase conjugated responses (I-4) of the polymer films were investigated by degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM). The experimental results showed that optical phase conjugated response of the TEMPO-PAZ could be easily controlled by choosing the appropriate direction of magnetic field presumably due to the nitroxide radical in the TEMPO-PAZ molecular structure. For the polymer investigated here, the nitroxide radical was introduced to increase optical phase conjugated response intensity in a magnetic field, aiming originally at searching for a new photo-active organic magnetic multifunctional materials.

文摘In this work, long-period waveguide grating-based tunable wavelength filters using organic–inorganic grafting poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) materials are designed and fabricated by metal-cladding directly defined technique.The thermal stabilities and optical properties of the organic–inorganic grafting PMMA core materials are analyzed. Structures and performance parameters of the waveguide gratings and self-electrode heaters are designed and simulated. The contrast of the filter is about 15 d B and the resonant wavelength can be tuned by different electric powers applied to the metal-cladding self-electrode heaters. The temperature sensitivity is 3.5 nm/℃ and the switching time is about 1 ms. The technique is very suitable for realizing the optoelectronic integrated wavelength-division-multiplexing systems.

文摘Recently,piezocatalysis has attracted considerable attention as a new type of renewable mechanical energy conversion technology,which relies on the strain induced polarization of the piezoelectric material.This new technology has been extensively applied in the applications of water splitting,water remediation,gas purification and tumor therapy.Despite the rapid development in the piezo-catalysis,the utilization of piezoelectric materials for synthetic purpose is still under exploration.Piezoelectric means to promote or-ganic reactions expand the scope of piezoelectrically mediated reactions and show successes in both organic and polymer synthesis.Herein,we provide a comprehensive review on recent progress of piezoelectrically mediated reactions,catalytic mechanisms and applications in the last few years.The limitations and future directions of this area are also discussed.We believe this review will provide new insights into the underlying mechanism of piezoelectric mediated electron transfer process and guide the design of new chemistry.

文摘Two novel copolymers based on squaraine and fluorine units have been synthesized through palladium catalyzed Suzuki coupling reaction and Sonogashira coupling reaction,respectively.The structures and properties of the two copolymers were characterized by FT-IR.NMR,UV-vis absorbance(Abs),gel permeation chromatography(GPC),thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA),differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) and cyclic voltammetry(CV).The solution absorption spectrums of P_1 and P_2 show two distinct absorption bands,one locates at 300-500 nm and the other at 600-800 nm.The absorption spectrums of P_1 and P_2 in films are broadened obviously and the spectral responses are extended up to 900 nm.Thermal gravimetric analysis demonstrates that the polymers are stable.Cyclic voltammetry experiment shows that the band gaps of the copolymers are 1.65 eV and 1.67 eV. respectively,suggesting their potential for applications as solar cells materials.
