- A General and Air-tolerant Strategy to Conjugated Polymers within Seconds under Palladium(I) Dimer Catalysis
-
While current M0/MII based polymerization strategies largely focus on fine-tuning the catalyst, reagents and conditions for each and every monomer, this report discloses a single method that allows access to a variety of different conjugated polymers within seconds at room temperature. Key to this privileged reactivity is an air- and moisture stable dinuclear PdI catalyst. The method is operationally simple, robust and tolerant to air.

- Carbazole-based π-conjugated polyazomethines: Effects of catenation and comonomer insertion on optoelectronic features
-
A series of carbazole-based polyazomethines have been synthesized under micro-wave irradiation and without transition-metal based catalyst. The impact of both the catenation brought by the carbazole subunits and the insertion of a co-monomer, i.e. 3,4 ethylene dioxythiophene (EDOT), on the optical and electrochemical properties have been studied. Among the different polyazomethines synthesized, the best in terms of optical and electrochemical properties has been found to be the one with the azomethine function linked in positions 2,7 of carbazole subunits. Upon the insertion of the EDOT comonomer, an increase of the molecular weight and a red-shift in the absorption spectra has been observed, corresponding to a diminution of the electronic gap.

- organic semiconductor compound, manufacturing method thereof, and organic electronic device that contains it
-
The present invention relates to an organic semiconductor compound, a method for manufacturing the same, and an organic electronic device comprising the same and, more specifically, to an organic semiconductor compound including quinoxaline, a method for manufacturing the same, and an organic electronic device comprising the same. In addition, by having a low band gap by synthesizing and copolymerizing a thiophene derivative containing sulfur (S) with a quinoxaline-based compound, the organic electronic device comprising the same has a higher efficiency with an innovative combination with a fullerene derivative, which is a photoactive layer, with the organic semiconductor compound of the present invention. The organic semiconductor compound of the present invention has high thermal stability and high solubility and the organic electronic device comprising the same has excellent electric characteristics, thereby can be valuably used as a n-type material of the organic electronic device, especially an organic solar cell or an organic thin film transistor.

- A versatile approach to organic photovoltaics evaluation using white light pulse and microwave conductivity
-
State-of-the-art low band gap conjugated polymers have been investigated for application in organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs) to achieve efficient conversion of the wide spectrum of sunlight into electricity. A remarkable improvement in power conversion efficiency (PCE) has been achieved through the use of innovative materials and device structures. However, a reliable technique for the rapid screening of the materials and processes is a prerequisite toward faster development in this area. Here we report the realization of such a versatile evaluation technique for bulk heterojunction OPVs by the combination of time-resolved microwave conductivity (TRMC) and submicrosecond white light pulse from a Xe-flash lamp. Xe-flash TRMC allows examination of the OPV active layer without requiring fabrication of the actual device. The transient photoconductivity maxima, involving information on generation efficiency, mobility, and lifetime of charge carriers in four well-known low band gap polymers blended with phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), were confirmed to universally correlate with the PCE divided by the open circuit voltage (PCE/Voc), offering a facile way to predict photovoltaic performance without device fabrication.

- Synthesis and characterization of a thiadiazole/benzoimidazole-based copolymer for solar cell applications
-
In this study, we synthesized a new polymer, PCTDBI, containing alternating carbazole and thiadiazole-benzoimidazole (TDBI) units. This polymer (number-average molecular weight = 25,600 g mol-1), which features a planar imidazole structure into the polymeric main chain, possesses reasonably good thermal properties (Tg = 105 °C; Td = 396 °C) and an optical band gap of 1.75 eV that matches the maximum photon flux of sunlight. Electrochemical measurements revealed an appropriate energy band offset between the polymer's lowest unoccupied molecular orbital and that of PCBM, thereby allowing efficient electron transfer between the two species. A solar cell device incorporating PCTDBI and PCBM at a blend ratio of 1:2 (w/w) exhibited a power conversion efficiency of 1.20%; the corresponding device incorporating PCTDBI and PC71BM (1:2, w/w) exhibited a PCE of 1.84%.
