Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of thermoelectric materials technology, specifically relating to an N-type doped PEDOT conductive thin film and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Thermoelectric materials are novel semiconductor materials that directly convert thermal energy into electrical energy by utilizing temperature differences to drive the directional movement of charge carriers within the material. They have significant application value in fields such as thermoelectric power generation and portable refrigeration. Thermoelectric functional materials are green energy materials that can directly convert heat and electricity through the migration of charge carriers within a solid. Unlike traditional methods that utilize the chemical energy released from fuel combustion to convert into mechanical energy and then into electrical energy, thermoelectric materials and devices can output a continuous and stable voltage without the need for other components. The use of traditional energy sources leads to environmental pollution, ozone layer depletion, and exacerbation of the greenhouse effect. Thermoelectric materials, on the other hand, can directly convert thermal energy into electrical energy, causing almost no pollution or damage to the environment.

[0003] Conductive polymers are polymers whose main chains possess a conjugated primary electron system. They can achieve a conductive state through doping (i.e., adding small amounts of other elements or compounds to the material or matrix to improve its properties), with conductivity exceeding 1000 S / cm. Their structures share certain common characteristics, namely, an alternating -CC- and -C=C- conjugated structure, formed by long-chain carbon molecules linked by sp2 bonds. Due to the properties of sp2 bonds, each carbon atom has one unpaired valence electron, forming an unpaired bond perpendicular to the sp2 plane. The electron clouds of unpaired bonds between adjacent atoms are in contact, allowing electrons to move easily within this structure, thus exhibiting conductivity.

[0004] PN junctions are indispensable in various thermoelectric devices and electronic components. The development of high-performance P-type and N-type organic polymer semiconductors has a significant impact on the entire field of organic electronics. P-type semiconductors, also known as hole-type semiconductors, rely primarily on free electrons for conductivity. The more impurities incorporated, the higher the hole concentration and the stronger the conductivity. N-type semiconductors, also known as electron semiconductors, primarily conduct electricity through free electrons. The more impurities incorporated, the higher the free electron concentration and the stronger the conductivity. However, due to their poor environmental stability, steric hindrance, and limitations in synthesis methods, N-type semiconductors have been studied relatively little.

[0005] Traditional PEDOT thin films are generally P-type semiconductors, primarily used for hole transport. For example, Chinese patent application CN202310156271.5 discloses a memristor based on a GaN / PEDOT:PSS planar heterojunction, where the PEDOT:PSS organic layer is P-type conductive. Chinese patent application CN202110533460.0 discloses an ultra-flexible self-generating yarn and electrowoven fabric, which is a P-type thermoelectric material composed of PEDOT:PSS and an ionic liquid. Chinese patent application CN202111210818.2 discloses a PEDOT:PSS / VNO.52O0.26 thermoelectric composite film, which discloses a method for constructing a pn junction barrier of P-type PEDOT:PSS and N-type VNO.52O0.26 nanoparticles. Furthermore, there are currently no reports on pure N-type PEDOT in the literature. Existing literature shows that PEDOT is doped with N-type semiconductor materials, such as polyethyleneimine (PEI), for example, the literature Poly(phthalazinone ether ketone)–Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)fiber for thermoelectric and hydroelectric energy harvesting Chemical Engineering Journal 450(2022)138093.

[0006] In summary, it is necessary to propose a new PEDOT conductive thin film and its preparation method to prepare a high-performance N-type semiconductor. Summary of the Invention

[0008] A method for preparing an N-type doped PEDOT conductive film, wherein the N-type doped PEDOT conductive film is obtained by continuous liquid-phase polymerization of materials. Specifically, an oxide layer film is first processed, and then the prepared oxide layer film is placed in an EDOT monomer reaction solution for polymerization. The specific steps are as follows:

[0009] Step 1: Prepare an adhesive layer on a clean substrate: The materials used to prepare the adhesive layer include 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and polyurethane;

[0010] Step 2: Preparation of oxide layer (film): The oxidant is dissolved in deionized water by stirring and then applied to the adhesive layer obtained in step 1) to obtain an oxide layer. The oxidant is hydrated vanadium pentoxide.

[0011] Step 3: Preparation of EDOT monomer reaction precursor solution: Add organic solvent, acid solution containing hydrogen ions and EDOT monomer in sequence and mix evenly to prepare EDOT monomer reaction precursor solution. The volume ratio of each component in the EDOT monomer reaction precursor solution is organic solvent: acid solution: EDOT = 100-900: 1-20: 100-900.

[0012] Step 4: Preparation of EDOT monomer reaction solution: Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is further added to the EDOT monomer reaction precursor solution prepared in Step 3, wherein the volume ratio of the EDOT monomer reaction precursor solution to the dimethyl sulfoxide is 1:0.05-1.

[0013] Step 5: Place the oxide layer prepared in Step 2 into the EDOT monomer reaction solution prepared in Step 4 for polymerization (EDOT monomers undergo polymerization in the presence of oxidant (vanadium pentoxide) and initiator (acid);

[0014] Step 6: After the polymerization reaction in Step 5, the substrate is immersed in dilute hydrochloric acid and methanol in sequence to remove impurities, thereby obtaining the N-type doped PEDOT conductive film.

[0015] Furthermore, the acid solution containing hydrogen ions includes sulfonic acids, carboxylic acids, and hydrochloric acid, etc.

[0016] The acid solution described above can provide the hydrogen ions needed to promote the polymerization reaction.

[0017] Furthermore, the method for preparing the adhesive layer in step 1 includes spin coating, drop coating, blade coating, slot coating, or inkjet printing (and any other form of film-forming technology).

[0018] Furthermore, the substrate in step 1 includes rigid substrates and flexible substrates, including ordinary glass, ITO conductive glass, quartz or PET, etc.

[0019] Furthermore, the molar concentration of the oxidant in step 2 is 0.1-0.5 mol / L.

[0020] Furthermore, the method for preparing the oxidant on the adhesive layer in step 2 includes spin coating, drop coating, blade coating, slot coating, or inkjet printing (and any other form of film-forming technology).

[0021] Furthermore, the organic solvent in step 3 includes one or more of methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol.

[0022] Furthermore, the molar concentration of the EDOT monomer in step 3 is 0.1-6.6 mol / L.

[0023] The N-type doped PEDOT conductive film prepared by the above preparation method.

[0024] The above-mentioned N-type doped PEDOT conductive films are used in the fabrication of thermoelectric devices.

[0025] Beneficial technical effects

[0026] This invention innovatively prepares N-type doped PEDOT thin films, realizing the transformation of PEDOT conductive polymer from a P-type semiconductor (i.e., a hole-type semiconductor) to an N-type semiconductor (an electron-type semiconductor). The Seebeck coefficient of the PEDOT thin film prepared by this invention changes from positive to negative, proving that the transformation from P-type to N-type has been achieved, thus enabling electron transport. Patent application CN202210569859.9, entitled "A Method for Improving the n-type Ion Thermal Voltage Performance of PEDOT:PSS Thin Films," discloses a method for preparing a PEDOT:PSS thin film material with high-performance n-type ion thermal voltage through direct mixing of material solutions. In this material, PEDOT:PSS itself forms a P-type thermal voltage, but PSS dissociates into hydrogen ions. Therefore, after adding a specific organic guanidine salt, since the organic guanidine salt can provide anions and cations, and its concentration is much greater than the concentration of hydrogen ions dissociated from PSS, the thermal voltage formed by hydrogen ion migration is offset, ultimately increasing the ion thermal voltage. The present invention directly synthesizes an N-type doped PEDOT thin film with electron transport as its main function by adding DMSO and using a continuous liquid-phase polymerization method.

[0027] Finally, the method for preparing N-type doped PEDOT thin films provided by this invention is simple, fast, and inexpensive, and can be achieved without special large-scale instruments and equipment, thus having good prospects for industrial application. Attached Figure Description
