Nano-Confinement Induced Chain Alignment in Ordered P3HT Nanostructures Defined by Nanoimprint Lithography
Abstract
Control of polymer morphology and chain orientation is of great importance in organic solar cells and field effect transistors (OFETs). Here we report the use of nanoimprint lithography to fabricate large-area, high-density, and ordered nanostructures in conjugated polymer poly(3-hexylthiophene) or P3HT, and also to simultaneously control 3D chain alignment within these P3HT nanostructures. Out-of-plane and in-plane grazing incident X-ray diffraction were used to determine the chain orientation in the imprinted P3HT nanostructures, which shows a strong dependence on their geometry (gratings or pillars). Vertical chain alignment was observed in both nanogratings and nanopillars, indicating strong potential to improve charge transport and optical properties for solar cells in comparison to bulk heterojunction structure. For P3HT nanogratings, pi-pi stacking along the grating direction with an angular distribution of +/-20 degrees was found, which is favorable for OFETs. We propose the chain alignment is induced by the nanoconfinement during nanoimprinting via pi-pi interaction and hydrophobic interaction between polymer chain and mold surfaces.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
