Regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl), commonly known as P3HT, is a popular low-bandgap polymer donor with applications in organic photovoltaics, polymer solar cells, OLEDs, and OFETs. We sell a full range of P3HT with different molecular weights and regioregularities for a variety of research purposes.
The highest regioregularity P3HT (M1011, RR = 97.6%) produces highly crystalline films and is recommended for OFETs, nanofibril formation and fast drying OPVs at the thin interference peak (90 nm). However, the exceptionally high regioregularity of this P3HT means that gelling and surface roughness can be an issue for slow-drying thick-film OPVs (>200 nm). Lower molecular weight and regioregularity P3HT is recommended for inkjet and other large area or slow drying deposition techniques where gelling/aggregation and surface roughness need to be avoided.

P3HT from Ossila was used in the high-impact paper (IF 14.92), Ion buffering and interface charge enable high performance electronics with organic electrochemical transistors, P. Romele et al., Nat. Commun., 3044 (2019); DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-11073-4.
All the P3HT below is highly soluble (50 mg/ml) in chlorinated solvents such as chloroform, chlorobenzene, dichlorobenzene and trichlorobenzene. The intermediate and lower molecular weight P3HT materials are recommended for use with non-chlorinated solvents such as xylene, toluene and THF due to their increased solubility.

MSDS Documentation
P3HT MSDS sheetOFET Fabrication Guide
This procedure details the fabrication and charge mobility measurements for OFETs made from the M104 batch of P3HT. Field effect mobilities in excess of 0.12 cm2/Vs are recorded using M104 when the active layer is dispensed on OTS-treated silicon oxide dielectric by static spin coating from an optimized high/low boiling point solvent mix.
High hole mobility in conjunction with good solubility and partial air stability make regioregular P3HT a reference material of choice for both fundamental and applied research in organic electronic, physics and chemistry. As one of the most well-studied organic semiconductor, P3HT is often acknowledge to be one of the benchmark against which any new p-type or donor conjugate molecule should be compared and evaluated.
Mobility has previously been found to be positively correlated with increasing region-regularity, slow drying time (achieved using high boiling point solvent), lowering of the surface energy, and molecular weight in excess of 50 kD. These conditions favor p-p stacking parallels to the OFET substrate, which in turn results in improved charge transport across the transistor channel [1-13].
