Description

General description

Poly(3-octylthiophene-2,5-diyl-co-3-decyloxythiophene-2,5-diyl) (POT-co-DOT) is a regioregular conducting copolymer, which can be used as a donor material in electrochemical devices. It has a small band gap and forms an absorption spectrum in the red and infrared regions.

Typical Octyl thiophene:Decyloxythiophene = 1:1 (molar ratio). Synthesis, electrochemical and photophysical properties of poly(3-octylthiophene-2,5-diyl-co-3-decyloxythiophene-2,5-diyl)s (POT-co-DOT) copolymer via condensation polymerization has been reported. Application of POT-Co-DOT to electrophoretic deposition has been reported in a separate study.

Application

Conducting polymer

POT-co-DOT can be used as a conjugating polymer for the fabrication of polymeric solar cells (PSCs) and bulk heterojunction based solar cells with power conversion efficiency (PCE).
