The effect of TiO nanoparticles on the photophysical properties of ternary conjugated polymer (CP) blends of poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-2,7-diyl) (PFO), poly 9,9-dioctylfluorene-alt-benzothiadiazole (F8BT) and poly(2-methoxy-5(2-ethylhexyl)-1,4 -phenylenevinylene (MEH-PPV) thin films was investigated. This ternary blend used a fixed amount of PFO as the donor with MEH-PPV and F8BT in various ratios as the acceptors. The solution-blending method and the spin-coating technique were used to prepare the blends and the thin films, respectively. Through efficient Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET), the desired white emission was achieved with PFO/0.3 wt.% F8BT/0.5 wt.% MEH-PPV ternary blend thin film. Additions of nanoparticles up to 10 wt.% dramatically intensified the white emission which then dimmed at higher contents due to agglomerations. The current density-voltage characteristics of the nanocomposite thin films exhibited dependency on the content and distributions of the nanoparticles. Finally, a possible underlying mechanism for the intensification of emission is proposed.
研究了二氧化钛纳米颗粒对聚(9,9-二辛基芴-2,7-二亚基)(PFO)、聚9,9-二辛基芴-alt-苯并噻二唑(F8BT)和聚(2-甲氧基-5(2-乙基己基)-1,4-亚苯基亚乙烯基)(MEH-PPV)三元共轭聚合物(CP)共混物薄膜光物理性质的影响。这种三元共混物使用固定量的PFO作为供体,MEH-PPV和F8BT以不同比例作为受体。分别采用溶液共混法和旋涂技术制备共混物和薄膜。通过高效的Förster共振能量转移(FRET),PFO/0.3 wt.% F8BT/0.5 wt.% MEH-PPV三元共混物薄膜实现了所需的白色发射。添加高达10 wt.%的纳米颗粒显著增强了白色发射,然后在较高含量时由于团聚而变暗。纳米复合薄膜的电流密度-电压特性表现出对纳米颗粒含量和分布的依赖性。最后,提出了发射增强的一种可能潜在机制。
