Two-dimensional MoS2-assisted immediate aggregation of poly-3-hexylthiophene with high mobility.

چکیده
Nanoscale morphology is of significance to the electronic properties of semiconducting polymers. Solution-processed poly-3-hexylthiophene (P3HT) has been demonstrated as a promising active-layer material in organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) and solar cells. Controlling the crystallinity of P3HT chains is critical for gaining high-performance devices. Here we demonstrated the immediate crystallization of P3HT induced by two-dimensional MoS2 nanosheets under ultrasonication. The resulting aggregation was attributed to the presence of interaction between the MoS2 nanosheets and P3HT, which could enhance the inter-chain ordering and association of P3HT. The crystallization of P3HT contributed to the 38-fold enhancement in the hole mobility of the thin film as compared to the non-crystallized thin films because of the absence of MoS2. Our approach of using 2D MoS2 nanosheets to induce immediate aggregation of P3HT provides a facile process to control the crystallization of conjugated polymers for the development of high-performance organic electronics.

Unexpected optical limiting properties from MoS2 nanosheets modified by a semiconductive polymer.
Direct solvent exfoliation of bulk MoS2 with the assistance of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) produces a novel two-dimensional organic/inorganic semiconductor hetero-junction. The obtained P3HT-MoS2 nanohybrid exhibits unexpected optical limiting properties in contrast to the saturated absorption behavior of both P3HT and MoS2, showing potential in future photoelectric applications.
متن کاملHigh ambipolar and balanced carrier mobility in regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene)
The carrier transport of carefully purified regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) films has been studied using time-of-flight photocurrent measurements. We find balanced ambipolar transport with a room-temperature mobility for holes of 3Ã10−4 cm2 V−1 s−1 and for electrons of 1.5Ã10−4 cm2 V−1 s−1 at electric fields ù105 V/cm. The transport is relatively field independent and weakly temperature dep...

In this study, we investigated chemically exfoliated two-dimensional (2-D) nanoflakes of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) as charge-storing elements for use in organic multilevel memory devices (of the printed/flexible non-volatile type) based on organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) containing poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT). The metallic MoS2 nanoflakes were exfoliated in 2-methoxyethanol by the ...
متن کاملHole mobility enhancement by chain alignment in nanoimprinted poly„3-hexylthiophene... nanogratings for organic electronics
The authors report that the poly 3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl P3HT nanogratings shaped by nanoimprint lithography show enhanced hole mobility and strong anisotropy of conductance due to nanoimprint-induced three-dimensional polymer chain alignment. Field effect transistors were fabricated using these nanogratings and device measurements show a hole mobility of 0.03 cm2 /V s along the grating direc...
متن کاملDependence of Regioregular Poly(3-hexylthiophene) Film Morphology and Field-Effect Mobility on Molecular Weight
Morphological characterization has been used to explain the previously observed strong correlation between charge carrier mobility measured with thin-film transistors and the number-average molecular weight (MW) of the conjugated polymer regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene). Atomic force microscopy and X-ray diffraction show that the low-mobility, low-MW films have a highly ordered structure com...
