TFB, semiconducting polymer with high mobility

HTL and HIL material for organic electronic devices

Poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-alt-N-(4-sec-butylphenyl)-diphenylamine) (TFB) is a triarylamine based semiconductor with a band gap of 3.0 eV (HOMO and LUMO levels of 5.3 eV and 2.3 eV, respectively) and a relatively high hole mobility of 2 ×10-3 cm2 V-1 s-1.

Ossila's TFB was used in the a high impact paper (IF 38.77)

TFB from Ossila was used in the high-impact paper (IF 38.77), Rational molecular passivation for high-performance perovskite light-emitting diodes, W. Xu et al., Nat. Photonics, 13, 418–424 (2019); DOI: 10.1038/s41566-019-0390-x.

Due to its low ionisation potential and high hole mobility, TFB serves primarily as hole transport layer (HTL), hole-injection layer (HIL) and electron-blocking layer (EBL) material in organic electronic devices. When built into device as an interface material, TFB as an electron blocking layer will not only reduce the chance of electron leakage, but also reduce the possibility of exciton quenching between the interface of the active layer and charge transport layer (F8BT/MoOx for example).
