  • Synthesis and Characterisation of Conjugated Polymers with High Electron Affinity
    2020
    Co-Authors: Maria Jonforsen
    Abstract:

    This thesis describes synthesis and characterisation of conjugated polymers with high electron affinities. Polymers of this type are desired, for example, for use in light-emitting devices or as electron accepting material in photodiodes/solar cells. The high electron affinities for the polymers synthesized here were obtained from the incorporation of the nitrogen containing heterocycles pyridine, quinoxaline or Pyridopyrazine. Most of the polymers synthesized were alternating copolymers of one of the mentioned heterocycles with vinylene units, i.e. analogues of poly(phenylene vinylene) (PPV). The highest electron affinity, measured with cyclic voltammetry, was obtained for a poly(Pyridopyrazine vinylene) with phenyl substituted side-groups. The affinities of some of the polymers synthesized here are among the highest reported for conjugated polymers, higher than, for example, soluble cyano substituted PPV. One of the poly(Pyridopyrazine vinylene)s synthesized was tested as the electron accepting material in a number of donor/acceptor solar cells. One of the devices had an efficiency which was amongst the highest reported for solar cells based on two conjugated polymers, 7% (555 nm, 0.21 mW/cm2). However, the efficiency of the device was decreased at higher light intensities, probably due to low charge mobility and poor stability. Furthermore, the photo-oxidation process was investigated for four of the polymers; poly(Pyridopyrazine vinylene)s and poly(quinoxaline vinylene)s with different side-groups, and found to be quite complex. At least three factors can influence the stability towards photo-oxidation for this type of polymers; namely band-gap, the HOMO and LUMO levels of the polymer and whether the polymer contains reactive hydrogens such as benzylic hydrogens.

  • photodiodes and solar cells based on the n type polymer poly Pyridopyrazine vinylene as electron acceptor
    Synthetic Metals, 2003
    Co-Authors: Fengling Zhang, Maria Jonforsen, Mats Andersson, Mikael D Johansson, Olle Inganas
    Abstract:

    The photodiodes and solar cells based on the n-type polymer poly(Pyridopyrazine vinylene) as electron acceptor were discussed. It was found that the external quantum efficiency of these diodes reac ...

  • synthesis and characterization of poly quinoxaline vinylene s and poly Pyridopyrazine vinylene s with phenyl substituted side groups

    Abstract:

    Poly(quinoxaline vinylene) and poly(Pyridopyrazine vinylene) with 3(2'-ethylhexyloxy)phenyl side-groups have been synthesized and compared with similar polymers with purely aliphatic side-chains. T ...

  • synthesis and characterization of soluble and n dopable poly quinoxaline vinylene s and poly Pyridopyrazine vinylene s with relatively small band gap
    Macromolecules, 2002
    Co-Authors: Maria Jonforsen, Tomas Johansson, Olle Inganas, Mats Andersson
    Abstract:

    Synthesis and characterization of poly(quinoxaline vinylene)s and poly(Pyridopyrazine vinylene)s with linear and branched aliphatic side chains are reported. The electron affinity of the polymers was measured with cyclic voltammetry (CV) and found to be highest for the Pyridopyrazine vinylene polymers. Compared to CN-MEH-PPV, the Pyridopyrazine vinylene polymers were easier to reduce, while the quinoxaline derivatives were harder. UV−vis absorption measurements showed that the polymers have relatively small band gaps.

  • photodiodes made from poly Pyridopyrazine vinylene polythiophene blends
    Synthetic Metals, 2001
    Co-Authors: Maria Jonforsen, Tomas Johansson, Olle Inganas, I Ahmad, Jonas Larsson, L S Roman, Mattias Svensson, Mats Andersson
    Abstract:

    A PPV-type polymer with the Pyridopyrazine heterocycle (EHH-PPyPzV) has been synthesised and found to have high electron affinity according to electrochemical measurements. When used as the electron accepting material in single-layer-photodiodes, with a thiophene copolymer (PEOPT-co-PAAPT) as the electron donating material, IPCE (incident photon to current conversion efficiency) up to 1% was measured. Atomic force microscopy was used to analyse the blend morphology in the devices.
