Template-free nanostructured poly-3-hexylthiophene (P3HT) films via single pulse-nucleated electrodeposition

Thermophysical properties of free-standing micrometer-thick Poly (3-hexylthiophene) films

Functionalized Poly(3-hexylthiophene)s via Lithium–Bromine Exchange

Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) is one of the most extensively investigated conjugated polymers and has been employed as the active material in many devices including field-effect transistors, organic photovoltaics and sensors. As a result, methods to further tune the properties of P3HT are desirable for specific applications. Herein, we report a facile postpolymerization modification strategy to...

Title Self-propelled Nanojets via Template Electrodeposition Self-propelled Nanojets via Template Electrodeposition †

In this paper, we present a rapid, high-yield, low-end and low-cost fabrication of nanojet motors using a template directed electrochemical deposition method. Using an electrochemical deposition method, the bubble-ejecting nanojets were grown within the alumina template, which is commercially available. These fabricated nanosized devices have typical dimensions of 300 nm (diameter) by 4.5 mm (l...

3-dimensional anisotropic thermal transport in microscale poly(3-hexylthiophene) thin films

Anisotropy in material structure leads to distinct anisotropy in mechanical and thermal properties for polymer materials. In this work, poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) thin films are fabricated using the spin coating technique for investigation of anisotropic thermal transport. Raman spectroscopy study of spincoated P3HT films confirms the partially aligned molecular structure. Based on the main ...

Photovoltaic Properties of Poly (3-Hexylthiophene): [6, 6]-Phenyl C61-Butyric Acid 3- Ethylthiophene Thin Films

We fabricated and studied the electrical and photovoltaic properties of organic solar cell based on poly (3hexylthiophene) (P3HT) as an electron donor blended with the acceptor [6, 6]-Phenyl C61-Butyric Acid 3Ethylthiophene Ester (modified fullerene). The active layer composed of (3:1, w/w) mixture of P3HT and the modified fullerene was sandwiched between indium tin oxide (ITO) and aluminum (Al...
