This work aimed to compare the different influences that additives and heat
treatments have on the properties of semiconductor thin films formed by polymers
containing mainly bitiophenes and fluorenes. Polymers containing thiophenes in
sequence, such as poly[(9,9-dioctylfluorene-2,7-diyl)co-bithiophene] (F8T2), have
cis and trans conformations depending on the relative position of the sulfur atoms,
having their optical and electrical properties altered according to the proportion
between the domains of both conformations in the same film. The iodine atoms
present in the additive 1,8-diiodooctane are considered as a possible way to change
the aggregates in this polymer and, consequently, change the physical properties of
the formed film. To increase the understanding of the atoms other than carbon and
hydrogen in the additives, the effects of the additives 1,8-diiodooctane, 1,8-
octanodithiol and octane, which contain two iodines, two sulfur and do not contain
heteroatoms, respectively, were studied. In addition, the introduction of the PMMA
(polymethylmethacrylate) polymer was studied in order to alter the internal
structure of the thin film and, also, heat treatments at different temperatures were
studied, since parameters such as solvent evaporation time and the available thermal
energy also influence the formation and properties of the film after its growth.
Another point of interest was precisely the composition of the polymers. For this
purpose, in addition to F8T2, the polymers poly(9,9-dioctylflourene) (PFO),
poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-cobenzothiadiazole) (F8BT) and regioregular poly(3-
hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (rrP3HT) were studied. They are formed, respectively, by
bitiophenes and fluorenes, only fluorenes, fluorenes and benzothiadiazole and only
polythiophenes. In this way, it would be possible to isolate the contributions of each
isolated and combined groups that allow or not to change between conformations.
The films were deposited on glass substrates using the spin-coating technique and
the characterization was done via absorption, photoluminescence and FTIR
measurements. When possible, CELIV and current-voltage measurements of
photovoltaic devices were performed using the polymers as an electron donor layer.
With this work it was possible to vary the intensities of the absorption peaks and to
change the energy gap of the polymers. Highlighting the action of DIO, it was
observed that the cis conformation of F8T2 is maximized when 1 percent of the additive is used. In addition, DIO also increases the percentage of beta phase of PFO. For P3HT, on the other hand, there was an increase in the ordering of the film.
