It is found that the incorporation of two electron-accepting moieties （BTz and IIG） into a polymer main chain to form A-A＇ polymer PIIG-BTz could lower highest occupied molecular orbital （HOMO） and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital （LUMO） levels and facilitate good molecular stacking of the polymer. Ambipolar transistor behaviour for PIIG-BTz, with the balanced hole and electron mobilities of 0.030 and 0.022 cm2 V 1 s-i was observed in OTFT devices, respectively. The study in this work reveals that the utilization of acceptor-acceptor （A-A＇） structure in polymer main chain can be a feasible strategy to develop ambipolar polymer semiconductors.展开更多

Polyaniline effectively decreases the emission of CdSe quantum dots, and the CdSe luminescence lifetime is decreased by the addition of polyaniline. The mechanism of the emission observed in CdSe is assumed to result from the energy transfer and from the combination of surface-trapped electrons and holes energy is transferred from CdSe to polyaniline, and polyaniline occupies the hole sites.展开更多
