The chemical re-action and electronic structure of Ca deposition on rr-P3HT surfaces were in situ investigated by synchrotron radiation photoemission spectroscopy (SRPES) and X-ray photoemission spectros-copy (XPS). Upon Ca deposition, Ca-induced band bending of rr-P3HT is observed. In addition, Ca atoms preferentially react with S atoms of rr-P3HT. No obvious reaction between Ca and C atoms can be found. Through the investigation of the evolution of valence band spectra and secondary electron cut-off of rr-P3HT during the process of Ca deposition, an energy level alignment diagram at the Ca/rr-P3HT interface is derived.展开更多

Especially, the impacts of the nickel catalyst loading variation on regioregularity （rr）, yield, molecular weight （Mn）, polydispersity （PDI） and initiation efficiency of poly（3-hexylthiophene） （P3HT） are systematically investigated. The IH NMR, size-exclusion chromatography （SEC）, and MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopy results indicated that an excess amount of catalyst does not influence yield, rr, Mn, and PDI of P3HT, nor the initiation efficiency. However, the PDI of the product is broad, and the Mn and rr values decreased in the absence of 1,3-bis （diphenylphosphino）propane （dppp）. It can be concluded that the in-situ KCTP polymerization of P3HT is a practical and effective process. These results are especially valuable for the synthesis of all-conjugated block copolymers where macroinitiators are used.展开更多
