研究目的
To introduce asymmetrically substituted pentacenes in the active layer and to examine the impact of the polyaromaticity of the pendant groups on the device characteristics of solution-processed organic field-effect transistors.
研究成果
Asymmetric pentacenes with extended polyaromatic pendant groups, particularly Anthr-pentacene, show promising performance in solution-processed OFETs, with mobilities comparable to TIPS-pentacene, due to improved film morphology and charge transport properties. Future work could explore even more extended polyaromatic hydrocarbons.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific asymmetric pentacenes and HMDS as the dielectric; other materials and conditions may yield different results. The synthesis of asymmetric pentacenes is more challenging, and device performance could be optimized further with different solvents or processing parameters.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved synthesizing asymmetric pentacene derivatives, fabricating OFET devices, and characterizing their photophysical, electrochemical, and electrical properties. Theoretical calculations using density functional theory were employed to understand electronic structures.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Two asymmetric pentacenes (Napht-pentacene and Anthr-pentacene) were synthesized as reported, and TIPS-pentacene was purchased as a reference. Devices were fabricated on silicon substrates with SiO2 dielectric.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included spin coaters, UV-ozone cleaner, thermal evaporator, Keithley 4200 semiconductor parameter analyzer, UV spectrophotometer, spectrofluorimeter, cyclic voltammetry setup, optical microscope, and AFM. Materials included chlorobenzene, HMDS, gold for electrodes, and various chemicals for synthesis and measurements.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Substrates were cleaned and treated with HMDS. Semiconductor solutions were spin-coated, dried, and gold electrodes deposited. Electrical measurements were performed in a controlled environment.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using Gaussian software for theoretical calculations, and statistical methods for device performance metrics.
