In this study, a series of organic conjugated oligomers containing 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) and aromatic groups are synthesized, which are as follows: 2,5-di(methyl benzoate)-3,4-ethylenedioxy-thiophene (1EDOT-2B-COOCH ), 5,5'-di(methyl benzoate)-2,2'-bi(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (2EDOT-2B-COOCH ), 5,5″-di(methyl benzoate)-2,2':5',2″-ter(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (3EDOT-2B-COOCH ), and 5,5″'-di(methyl benzoate)-2,2':5',2″: 5″,2″'-quater(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (4EDOT-2B-COOCH ). Using these oligomers as active materials, flexible organic electrochromic devices are fabricated. The device structure is indium tin oxide-PET plastic slide (ITO-PET)/active layer/conducting gel/ITO-PET, and the electrochromic properties of oligomers are investigated. These oligomers exhibit reversible color changes upon electrochemical doping and dedoping. The highest optical contrast is exhibited by 4EDOT-2B-COOCH , which is 75.2% at 700 nm.
在这项研究中,合成了一系列含有 3,4-亚乙基二氧噻吩(EDOT)和芳基的有机共轭低聚物,如下所示:2,5-二(甲酯基)-3,4-亚乙基二氧噻吩(1EDOT-2B-COOCH3)、5,5'-二(甲酯基)-2,2'-双(3,4-亚乙基二氧噻吩)(2EDOT-2B-COOCH3)、5,5″-二(甲酯基)-2,2':5',2″-三(3,4-亚乙基二氧噻吩)(3EDOT-2B-COOCH3)和 5,5″'-二(甲酯基)-2,2':5',2″:5″,2″'-四(3,4-亚乙基二氧噻吩)(4EDOT-2B-COOCH3)。使用这些低聚物作为活性材料,制备了柔性有机电致变色器件。器件结构为氧化铟锡-聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯塑料滑动片(ITO-PET)/活性层/导电凝胶/ITO-PET,并研究了低聚物的电致变色性能。这些低聚物在电化学掺杂和去掺杂时表现出可逆的颜色变化。4EDOT-2B-COOCH3 的光学对比度最高,在 700nm 处达到 75.2%。
