Selenophene-Based Hole-Transporting Materials for Perovskite Solar Cells

Two novel and simple donor-π-bridge-donor (D-π-D) hole-transporting materials (HTMs) containing two units of the p-methoxytriphenylamine (TPA) electron donor group covalently bridged by means of the 3,4-dimethoxyselenophene spacer through single and tripl

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxyselenophene)

The first highly conductive polyselenophene, namely, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxyselenophene) (PEDOS), was synthesized by taking advantage of a novel method for efficiently contracting the selenophene ring. PEDOS shows a relatively low band gap (1.4 eV), very high stability in the oxidized state, and a well-defined spectroelectrochemistry. Copyright

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxyselenophene): Effect of solvent and electrolyte on electrodeposition, optoelectronic and electrochromic properties

In this article, we report the effect of electropolymerization conditions such as solvent and supporting electrolyte on the redox, optoelectronic and electrochromic properties of PEDOS. Monomer EDOS was synthesized by new and simple route and its electropolymerization was investigated by employing six different combinations of solvent-electrolyte namely TBAClO4/MeCN, TBAPF6/MeCN, TBABF4/MeCN, TBAClO4/PC, TBAPF6/PC and TBABF4/PC. Further, the electrochemical, spectroelectrochemistry, morphology and electrochromic properties of resultant PEDOS films were systematically studied. A pronounced effect of both solvent and supporting electrolyte on the electropolymerization, redox, optoelectronic and electrochromic properties on PEDOS film is noted. Among all solvent-electrolyte systems, MeCN and TBAClO4 were found to be the most suitable medium for electropolymerization of EDOS. Further, PEDOS films prepared in PC showed red shifted absorption maxima, narrow absorption peaks in UV-vis-NIR spectra, slightly more smooth morphologies, and high optical contrasts ratio and coloration efficiency in comparison to MeCN. PEDOS films prepared in TBABF4/PC exhibited longer λmax (670 nm), smooth morphology, and the highest optical contrasts ratio (44.6%) and coloration efficiency (141.8 cm2 C-1) compared to the other solvent-electrolyte medium.
