Then imidization of perylene-3, 4, 9, 10-tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride with 2,4-bis（laurylamino）-6-（1-（2-aminoethyl）-piperazine）-1, 3, 5-triazine was carried out to afford a novel perylene derivative bearing two melamine blocks （S2） and 1, 6, 7, 12-tetra（4-tert-butyl phenoxy）-perylene-3, 4, 9, 10-tetracarboxylic acid bisimide （S1. The hydrogen-bonding interactions between S1 and S2 were investigated by IH NMR spectrum, UV/Vis spectrum and fluorescence spectrum. The influences on the morphologies of S1·S2 aggregates were investigated. The results show that well-defined nanofibers with a diameter of about 100 nm can be obtained by self-assembly between S1 and S2 only in CH2Cl2 solution. Based on these results, guidelines for the molecular design and self-assembly of supramolecular polymer materials are presented.展开更多

In this work, a conjugated polymer based on PBI dimer as monomer was designed, synthesized, and compared to the conjugated polymer containing single PBI as repeating units. The two conjugated polymers were found to have similar molecular weight, absorption spectra and energy levels. Density functional theory calculation revealed that the PBI dimer-based polymer exhibited highly twisted conjugated backbone due to the large dihedral angle between the two PBI units. The PBI-based polymers as electron acceptor were applied into polymer-polymer solar cells, in which PBI dimer-based polymer solar cells were found to show a high short circuit current density （Jsc = 11.2 mA.cm-2） and a high power conversion efficiency （PCE） of 4.5%. In comparison, the solar cells based on PBI-based polymer acceptor only provided a dsc of 7.2 mA.cm-2 and PCE of 2.5%. The significantly enhanced PCE in PBI dimer-based solar cells was attributed to the mixed phase in blended thin films, as revealed by atom force microscopy. This study demonstrates that PB! dimer can be used to design polymer acceptors for high performance polymer- polymer solar cells.展开更多

We report the characteristic electronic properties of PBI anionic films. We unexpectedly discovered that pristine PBI dianion film showed p-type character, while oxidized dianion film(dominant neutral state with few radical anions) showed normal n-type semiconductor character based on Seebeck effect measurements. Both kinds of films exhibit high electrical conductivity with a potential for thermoelectric applications. The mechanism of polarity reversal is proposed.展开更多

The ethynyl linkers were found to enhance the planarity of the conjugated backbone, resulting in high electron mobilities and near-infrared absorption. The ethynyl-linked PBI acceptors showed high power conversion efficiencies（PCEs） up to 4.27% due to the high short-circuit current density（Jsc） of 8.52 mA/cm^2 and fill factor（FF） of 0.59, while the PBI acceptor without ethynyl units provided a low PCE of 3.57% in nonfullerene solar cells. The results demonstrate that ethynyl units can be applied into designing new PBI electron acceptors with improved charge transport properties and photovoltaic performance.展开更多

The polymers could spontaneously self-assemble into hollow cylindrical structures in which the π-π interaction between adjacent PTCBI moieties was enhanced and the electron mobility was possibly promoted. The hydrogenation of as-obtained polymer was readily accomplished, affording the desired precision PTCBI in-chain PE with a saturated backbone, which showed high glass transition temperature（Tg = 63 °C）, relatively wide range of light absorption（λ = 200-575 nm）, and higher LUMO level（-3.62 e V）. It can therefore serve as a superior model for facile construction of functional polyolefin and soluble PTCBI polymer with ordered architecture.展开更多

There is no evidence of large phase separation confirmed by AFM images and photoluminescence （PL） spectra. The space charge limit current measurements and light intensity dependence measurements indicate that the low electron mobility and the significant recombination of pho- togenerated charge carriers in active layer mainly account for the low performance of our solar cells. Our results suggest that these ＂double-cable＂ are oromising candidates for use in single-component polymer solar cells with NIR photoresponse.展开更多

文摘Cathodic electrochromic materials realized by n-type doping of conducting polymers are scarce.Even with limited cases reported in the literature,long-term stability is an urgent problem to be solved.Herein,we report a high performance and stable cathodic electrochromic material,poly(Th-Cl-PBI),based on a perylene bisimide function core.Due to its high electropolymerization efficiency and low steric hindrance of thiophene groups,perylene bisimide,which generally does not dissolve and form film easily,can grow to the sufficient thickness of 350 nm for wide-range spectral modulation and large-capacity energy storage.The optical contrast of optimized film with a thickness of 240 nm reaches as high as 69.1% at 520 nm,94.1% at 760 nm,and 95.7% at 680 nm.Theoretical simulation based on the Lambert–Beer law also verifies this optical contrast dependent on film thickness.Besides,during the transition between the neutral state and radical anion state,it maintains 90.2% of the electrochemical activity after 4000 cycles,and the transmittance spectrum remains stable after 2000 cycles.The cation size effect on cathodic electrochromic process and cyclic stability has been investigated.

文摘We have fabricated a new perylene bisimide(PBI)folda-dimer(BPBI-CB-1)by tethering two PBI moieties to the ortho-carbon positions of a carborane unit.The synthesized compound adopted distinct configurations in different solvents with dual emissions as its characteristic.The two PBI moieties in the molecule appeared either in a weakly interacted,monomer-like state or brought into close π-π contact with each other,forming an interacted stacking state.The equilibrium between these two states was governed by the nature of solvents and testing temperature.Spectroscopic and theoretical studies concluded that dual emission bands originated from intramolecular monomer-like and stacking states,respectively.Remarkably,in a solvent like 1,2-dichloroethane(DCE),both emission intensities increased with rising temperatures.The positive temperature response of the monomer emission was ascribed to an increased amount of monomer-like population,owing to its endothermic energy state,while the excimer emission was rationalized by increased population of the bright exciton state,resulting in an increased emission yield that compensated the diminished population of the stacking state.To our knowledge,this is the first report on positive temperature-responsive dual emissions associated with the synergism of intramolecular intersubunit aggregation/dissociation and excimer transformation.

文摘A novel perylene tetracarboxylic acid bisimide（PTCBI） in-chain polyethylene（PE） was first prepared via acyclic diene metathesis（ADMET） polymerization of PTCBI-functionalized α,ω-diene monomer. The polymers could spontaneously self-assemble into hollow cylindrical structures in which the π-π interaction between adjacent PTCBI moieties was enhanced and the electron mobility was possibly promoted. The hydrogenation of as-obtained polymer was readily accomplished, affording the desired precision PTCBI in-chain PE with a saturated backbone, which showed high glass transition temperature（Tg = 63 °C）, relatively wide range of light absorption（λ = 200-575 nm）, and higher LUMO level（-3.62 e V）. It can therefore serve as a superior model for facile construction of functional polyolefin and soluble PTCBI polymer with ordered architecture.

文摘N,N＇-Bis（3-hydroxyphenyl）-1,8,4,5-naphthalenetetracarboxylic bisimide was prepared from the reaction of 1,8,4,5-naphthalenetetrcarboxylic acid dianhydride and 2-aminophenol in N, N-dimethylformamide. Polymerization of this bisimide with 4,4＇-difluorodiphenylsulfone and disodium 3,3＇-disulfonate4,4＇-difluorodiphenylsulfone gave ion-exchange sulfonated poly（ether sulfone）. The structure of the title compound was characterized with H-NMR and its polymer was characterized with FT-IR.
文摘An isoindigo-based ＂double-cable＂ conjugated polymer bearing perylene bisimide side units was developed via Stille polymerization for application in single-component polymer solar cells, in which a power conversion efficiency of 1% with broad photo-response from 300 nm to 800 nm was achieved. There is no evidence of large phase separation confirmed by AFM images and photoluminescence （PL） spectra. The space charge limit current measurements and light intensity dependence measurements indicate that the low electron mobility and the significant recombination of pho- togenerated charge carriers in active layer mainly account for the low performance of our solar cells. Our results suggest that these ＂double-cable＂ are oromising candidates for use in single-component polymer solar cells with NIR photoresponse.

文摘Copper/oxalic diamide-promoted dimerization of tetrachlorinated perylene bisimide to construct highly-fused diperylene bisimides through Ullmann coupling and zipper-mode double C—H activation has been developed in this study.This one-step reaction combining homocoupling with C—H activation proceeded smoothly under the action of inexpensive metal-ligand system.This protocol is expected to expand the available synthetic tools for condensed ring systems of perylene bisimide(PBIs).

文摘Three "double-cable" conjugated polymers with thienopyrroledione-based backbone and perylene bisimide as side units were designed as electron acceptor for polymer-polymer solar cells. The polymers show broad absorption spectra and low-lying frontier energy levels due to both aromatic backbone and side units. The new double-cable polymers can be used as electron acceptor to combine with several electron donors, in which power conversion efficiencies above 3% could be achieved.
