Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for synthesizing and preparing thin films of a high-conductivity polymer thermoelectric material and its application, belonging to the field of conductive polymer materials technology. Background Technology

[0002] Conductive polymers are a class of polymeric materials that transform insulators into conductors through chemical or electrochemical doping of polymers with conjugated π bonds. Due to their unique chemical structure and excellent electrical properties, conductive polymers have broad application prospects in energy, optoelectronic devices, and sensing fields. In recent years, the application of conductive polymers in thermoelectric conversion devices has attracted widespread interest, and the development of high-performance polymer thermoelectric conversion materials has remained a key focus of research in this field.

[0003] In 1977, American scientists Alan J. Heeger and Alan G. MacDiarmid, along with Japanese scientist Hideki Shirakawa, discovered that doped polyacetylene possesses metallic conductivity, thus initiating research in the field of conductive polymers. Traditional conductive polymers include polyacetylene, polypyrrole, polythiophene, and polyaniline. Among these, polythiophene and its derivatives have become a research hotspot in polymer thermoelectric materials due to their aromatic ring-like structure, good environmental stability, ease of preparation, and high conductivity after doping. However, unsubstituted polythiophene has poor solubility and is difficult to process, thus limiting its widespread commercial application. Side-chain substituted polythiophene solves the solubility and stability problems, but the steric hindrance of the side chains causes thiophene torsion, reducing both conjugation and conductivity. Therefore, developing highly conductive, solution-processable, and highly stable polythiophene thermoelectric materials remains an important research direction in the field of organic thermoelectrics.

[0004] Currently, alkyl side chains (such as P3HT) and heteroatom side chains (such as poly(3-methoxythiophene)) are mainly used for high-conductivity polythiophene and its derivatives. Although these side chain substitutions can make polythiophene have high solubility, the disorder of side chains and random insertion of dopants make it more difficult to control the polymer morphology, and the conductivity of the polymer will decrease significantly. Therefore, how to obtain high conductivity while maintaining high solubility is a research challenge for thiophene-type polymer thermoelectric materials. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, the present invention provides a conjugated polymer containing selenophene and alkoxy-substituted bithiophene, its preparation method and application.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a conjugated polymer containing selenophene and alkoxy-substituted bithiophene, wherein the side chain of bithiophene in the conjugated polymer containing selenophene and alkoxy-substituted bithiophene is an alkoxy chain; the general structural formula of the conjugated polymer containing selenophene and alkoxy-substituted bithiophene is:

[0007]

[0008] Wherein, n is a natural number from 10 to 50, preferably from 10 to 30, and more preferably 10, 15 or 30;

[0009] k is a natural number from 1 to 5;

[0010] The m is a natural number from 1 to 10, representing the number of alkoxy chain units.

[0011] Traditional polymers use thiophene units as the conjugated backbone and long alkyl groups as side chains. This invention, aiming to design and synthesize novel polythiophene derivatives with high conductivity, high stability, high solubility, and solution processability, employs a conjugated polymer containing selenophene and bithiophene, where the bithiophene side chain is an alkoxy chain. Currently, polythiophene and its derivatives mainly utilize alkyl side chains (e.g., P3HT) and heteroatom side chains (e.g., poly(3-methoxythiophene)) to improve solubility. Alkyl side chain substitution can enhance the solubility of polythiophene, but the disorder of the side chains and the random insertion of dopants increase the difficulty of polymer morphology control, and significantly reduce the polymer's conductivity. Alkoxy chain substitution can significantly improve the HOMO energy level of the polymer, increasing both solubility and doping efficiency. Furthermore, adding selenophene with a higher degree of conjugation to the backbone is beneficial for further improving conductivity.
