Synthesis of a new W-type of functional polymer for improving intermolecular charge transfer processes at donor/acceptor interfaces
HIGH PERFORMANCE POLYMERS(2019)
摘要
Optimizing charge transfer (CT) processes at donor/acceptor interfaces is an important subject to improving photocurrent density. Geometries of functional polymers play important roles in design of new types of polymers, which were used as electron donor to improve effective separation of electron-hole pairs at donor/acceptor interfaces. In this article, a novel W-type of polymer, poly(1-[4-(9-(2-ethylhexyl)carbazole-3-yl)]phenylazo-2-phenylazoacenaphthylene), was synthesized by a Suzuki coupling reaction for improving interaction between polymers and electron acceptors to enhance intermolecular CT. Geometry of combination of the polymer and C-60 shows that main-chain of the polymer could sufficiently touch C-60 derivatives. The polymer exhibited a broadband light absorption at the wavelength range from 250 to 650 nm. Ultraviolet-visible spectra and cyclic voltammetry curve suggest that the highest occupied, lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy levels, and energy gap values are -5.09, -3.18 and 1.91 eV. Fluorescence quenching experiments shows that 99.9% of emission fluorescence of the polymer was quenched by added C-60. Therefore, excited electrons at the polymer would be completely transferred to C-60 molecules. This article suggests a new W-type functional polymer for improving intermolecular CT processes at donor/acceptor interfaces.
