Overview

Investigations reveal enhanced polaron formation and charge transport in glycolated DPP polymers, indicating improved solid-state applications.

Key Points

  • This research aims to understand how glycol side chains and elongated conjugated backbones influence polaron formation and transport in DPP-based polymers.
  • Investigated DPP-based polymers with tailored glycol side chains.
  • Conducted electrochemical doping with a semicrystalline solid-state ionic liquid.
  • Utilized in situ field-dependent Raman spectroscopy to probe polaron formation.
  • Glycol side chains enhance p-type character and charge carrier density.
  • Backbone elongation improves planarity and mobility of the polymers.
  • Conductivity increased by four orders of magnitude through electrochemical doping.
  • Glycolation leads to increased π-electron redistribution and more localized polarons.
