Benzodithiophene and flourene represent tremendous promise as donor moieties in donor-acceptor approach for optoelectronic applications. The strong intermolecular π-π stacking, coplanar and rigid structure as well as symmetric configuration of these moieties enhance charge mobility and reduce band gap when incorporate in back bone of polymer within pull and push system. In order to decrease angle torsion and adjusting the optoelectronic properties of polymers, chalcogenophenes utilize as bridge between donor and acceptor. In this study, three different phenanthro imidazole containing conjugated copolymers (P1,P2 and P3) were synthesized using benzodithiophene and flourene via Suzuki and Stille condensation reactions. The structural characterizations of polymers were performed by NMR and the molecular weight of these polymers was measured via GPC. P1 utilized as active layer in single layer organic light emitting diode with device structure of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/P1/LiF:Al. The observed color was cyan with luminance of 5560 cd/m2 at 13 volts. For photovoltaic application P2 and P3 were used as active layer with device structure of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/Polymer:PC71BM/Ca:Al. The best of OPVs devices showed 0.94% PCE for P2 and 0.91% for P3 under standard AM 1.5 (100 mW/cm2) condition.

Syntheses of functional materials for organic photovoltaic and electrochromic device applications Varlıoğlu, Figen; Günbaş, Emrullah Görkem; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2017) Thienothiophene based moities are widely investigated for organic solar cell applications. In this study, after synthesizing 2-ethylhexyl 4,6-dibromothieno [3,4-b]thiophene-2-carboxylate successfully, copolymerization with commercially available donor 4-(2-ethylhexyl)-2,6-bis(trimethylstannyl)-4H-dithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]pyrrole, DTPy, was performed via Stille coupling. At each step, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy were performed for structural analysis. Cyclic voltammogram was used for investig...
Syntheses and optoelectronic applications of thiadiazolo quinoxaline bearing alternating conjugated copolymers Ataoğlu, Emre; Çırpan, Ali; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2016) Donor-acceptor type conjugated polymers containing thiadiazolo quinoxaline and benzodithiophene derivatives were used as photoactive material for organic solar cell. The alkoxy- substituted benzo[1,2-b;4,5-b’]dithiophene (BDT) monomer, 2,6bis(trimethyltin)-4,8-di(2-ethylhexyloxyl)benzo[1,2-b;4,5-b’]dithiophene, was polymerized with 4,9-dibromo-[1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-g]quinoxaline through a Pd(0)catalyzed Stille coupling reaction. In order to improve the interchain interactions between polymer chains, an alk...
Synthesis and application of poly-SNS-anchored carboxylic acid: a novel functional matrix for biomolecule conjugation Ekiz, Fulya; Oguzkaya, Funda; Akin, Mehriban; TİMUR, SUNA; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2011-01-01) Here we report the synthesis of a novel conducting polymer and its properties as an immobilization platform for biosensor application. The conducting polymer has functional groups used for the formation of amide bonding with the enzyme immobilized on the polymer surface. After covalent immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOx) on the polymeric matrix, its application for glucose biosensing was investigated in detail. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and contact angle ...
