PBDB-TF-T1, high purity semiconducting polymer

High quality and available for fast, secure dispatch


PBDB-TF-T1 is a randomly copolymerised conjugated semiconducting polymer with benzodithiophene (BDT), Benzodithiophene dione (BDD) and thiophene carboxylate ester as the main backbone units. PBDB-TF-T1 is a close relative in structure to PBDBT-2F (PM6) and PTO2, relatively blue shifted in absorption to PM6 and red shifted to PTO2.

PBDB-TF-T1 is also relatively more soluble in non-halogenated solvents, i.e. o-xylene, 1,2,4‐trimethylbenzene or THF than PM6. Non-fullerene polymer solar cells withnon-halogenated solvent additive DIO from BTP-4F-12 as acceptor and PBDB-TF-T1 as polymer donor achieved high device performance efficiencies of PCE = 16.1%.

Please refer to our collection of green energy materials for non-halogenated solvents processing choice of non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs).

Characterisations

UV-Vis Absorption

pbdb-tf-t1 uv-vis absorption in film, solubility in o-xylene
UV-Vis absorption of of PBDB-TF-T1 in chloroform (CF) and in film (as-cast film on glass) and its solubility in THF at 8 mg/ml.

Cyclic Voltammetry

pbdb-tf-t1 cyclic voltammetry in film
Cyclic voltammograms of the PBDB-TF-T1 film on platinum electrode in 0.1M Bu4NClO4in acetonitrile at a scan rate of 100 mV s−1.

The cyclic voltammograms (CV) measurements were recorded on Ossila Potentiostat by using a three-electrode system with platinum disc as the working electrode, platinum wire as the counter electrode, Ag/Agelectrode as the reference electrode with a scanning rate of 100 mV/s in a 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium perchlorate (Bu4NClO4) solution. The potential of Ag/Ag+ reference electrode was internally calibrated by using ferrocene/ferroncenium (Fc/Fc+) as the redox couple.
