研究目的
To prepare and investigate the electrochromic properties of thin films from pyrene-triphenylamine derivatives via electropolymerization, focusing on near-infrared region performance.
研究成果
Thin films of pyrene-cored multi-triphenylamine derivatives exhibit two-step electrochromism in the NIR region with moderate contrast ratios. P2, with a longer side arm, shows better performance in contrast ratio, response time, and cyclic stability, making it potentially useful for optic telecommunications and informing molecular design of electrochromic materials.
研究不足
The polymers have very low solubility, preventing further analysis by NMR or mass spectra. The degree of polymerization is unknown. The response times are relatively slow (seconds range), and cyclic stability shows some degradation over 50 cycles for P1.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved synthesizing two star-shaped compounds (1 and 2) with a pyrene core and triphenylamine units, followed by oxidative electropolymerization to form polymer films P1 and P
2：Electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical methods were used to analyze redox behavior and absorption changes. Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Monomers 1 and 2 were synthesized via Suzuki coupling reactions using specific boronic acids and tetrabromopyrene.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included cyclic voltammetry setup, spectrophotometer, potentiostat, SEM for film analysis, and NMR and mass spectrometry for characterization. Materials included ITO glass electrodes, nBu4NClO4 electrolyte, solvents like dichloroethane and chlorobenzene, and chemical reagents for synthesis.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Electropolymerization was performed by repetitive CV scans between 0 and +
5：6 V vs. Ag/AgCl at 100 mV/s. Spectroelectrochemical measurements monitored absorption changes at various potentials. Electrochromic switching was assessed using double-potential step chronoamperometry. Data Analysis Methods:
Data analysis involved charge integration for surface coverage, linear fitting of peak currents vs. scan rate, and calculation of contrast ratio, response time, and coloration efficiency.
