研究目的
To investigate the enhancement of hole transport ability in conjugated polymer/fullerene bulk heterojunction microspheres and their electrochemical properties.
研究成果
The BHJ microspheres exhibit significantly enhanced hole transport ability, longer photocarrier lifetimes, and better electrochemical stability compared to solution-cast films, making them promising for applications in electro- and photocatalysis.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific polymer/fullerene systems (rra-PHT/PCBM), and the microsphere formation method may not be generalizable to other materials. Electrochemical stability was reduced for blends with higher PCBM content, and water degradation affects performance.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used a vapor diffusion method to form BHJ microspheres from rra-PHT and PCBM mixtures, with electrochemical and photoconductivity measurements to assess properties.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples included microspheres and solution-cast films with varying weight ratios of rra-PHT and PCBM, prepared in CHCl3 and MeOH solvents.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV) setup with glassy carbon electrode, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and flash-photolysis time-resolved microwave conductivity (FP-TRMC). Materials included rra-PHT, PCBM, CHCl3, MeOH, TBAPF6 electrolyte, and acetonitrile.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Microspheres were formed by slow diffusion of MeOH vapor into CHCl3 solutions, followed by characterization using SEM, TEM, CV, XPS, and FP-TRMC to measure electrochemical properties, carrier mobilities, and lifetimes.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using CV for charge quantification, XPS for energy level shifts, and FP-TRMC for conductivity and lifetime measurements, with statistical analysis of results.
