The Preparation of Higher Ordered Poly(3-hexylthiophene) by Oxidative Method

Abstract:

Poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) was synthesized by a modified simple FeCl₃ oxidative polymerization. The use of mixed solvents provides a low-cost and effective method to prepare the higher ordered P3HT. The SEM result shows that the assembling of P3HT tends to produce nanowires with 1, 4-dioxane as the poor solvent. The XRD result shows that the formation of P3HT nanowires can enhance the order and regularity of the polymer. The conformation transformations of P3HT chains were analyzed by ultraviolet visible light absorption spectrum. The results show that the higher ordered P3HT was obtained. The higher ordered P3HT can improve the utilization rate of the sunlight when applied in solar cells.
