Low-Temperature Synthesis of Solution Processable Carbon Nitride Polymers.

ABSTRACT: Carbon nitride materials require high temperatures (>500 °C) for their preparation, which entails substantial energy consumption. Furthermore, the high reaction temperature limits the materials' processability and the control over their elemental composition. Therefore, alternative synthetic pathways that operate under milder conditions are still very much sought after. In this work, we prepared semiconductive carbon nitride (CN) polymers at low temperatures (300 °C) by carrying out the thermal condensation of triaminopyrimidine and acetoguanamine under a N₂ atmosphere. These molecules are isomers: they display the same chemical formula but a different spatial distribution of their elements. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) experiments and electrochemical and photophysical characterization confirm that the initial spatial organization strongly determines the chemical composition and electronic structure of the materials, which, thanks to the preservation of functional groups in their surface, display excellent processability in liquid media.

Solution-processable porous graphitic carbon from bottom-up synthesis and low-temperature graphitization.

Project description:It is urgently desired yet challenging to synthesize porous graphitic carbon (PGC) in a bottom-up manner while circumventing the need for high-temperature pyrolysis. Here we present an effective and scalable strategy to synthesize PGC through acid-mediated aldol triple condensation followed by low-temperature graphitization. The deliberate structural design enables its graphitization in situ in solution and at low pyrolysis temperature. The resulting material features ultramicroporosity characterized by a sharp pore size distribution. In addition, the pristine homogeneous composition of the reaction mixture allows for solution-processability of the material for further characterization and applications. Thin films of this PGC exhibit several orders of magnitude higher electrical conductivity compared to analogous control materials that are carbonized at the same temperatures. The integration of low-temperature graphitization and solution-processability not only allows for an energy-efficient method for the production and fabrication of PGC, but also paves the way for its wider employment in applications such as electrocatalysis, sensing, and energy storage.

Thermodynamic synthesis of solution processable ladder polymers.

Project description:The synthesis of a carbazole-derived, well-defined ladder polymer was achieved under thermodynamic control by employing reversible ring-closing olefin metathesis. This unique approach featured mild conditions and excellent efficiency, affording the ladder polymer backbone with minimum levels of unreacted defects. Rigorous NMR analysis on a 13C isotope-enriched product revealed that the main-chain contained less than 1% of unreacted precursory vinyl groups. The rigid conformation of the ladder-type backbone was confirmed by photophysical analysis, while the extended rod-like structure was visualized under scanning tunneling microscope. Excellent solubility of this polymer in common organic solvents allowed for feasible processing of thin films using solution-casting techniques. Atomic force microscopy and grazing incident X-ray scattering revealed a uniform and amorphous morphology of these films, in sharp contrast to the polycrystalline thin films of its small molecular counterpart.

Solution-processable and functionalizable ultra-high molecular weight polymers via topochemical synthesis.

Project description:Topochemical polymerization reactions hold the promise of producing ultra-high molecular weight crystalline polymers. However, the totality of topochemical polymerization reactions has failed to produce ultra-high molecular weight polymers that are both soluble and display variable functionality, which are restrained by the crystal-packing and reactivity requirements on their respective monomers in the solid state. Herein, we demonstrate the topochemical polymerization reaction of a family of para-azaquinodimethane compounds that undergo facile visible light and thermally initiated polymerization in the solid state, allowing for the first determination of a topochemical polymer crystal structure resolved via the cryoelectron microscopy technique of microcrystal electron diffraction. The topochemical polymerization reaction also displays excellent functional group tolerance, accommodating both solubilizing side chains and reactive groups that allow for post-polymerization functionalization. The thus-produced soluble ultra-high molecular weight polymers display superior capacitive energy storage properties. This study overcomes several synthetic and characterization challenges amongst topochemical polymerization reactions, representing a critical step toward their broader application.

Low-Temperature and Solution-Processable Zinc Oxide Transistors for Transparent Electronics.

Project description:Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) have many promising applications in the areas of logic circuits, displays, ultraviolet detectors, and biosensors due to their high performances, facile fabrication processing, and low cost. The solution method is an important technique for low-cost and large fabrication of oxide semiconductor TFTs. However, a key challenge of solution-processable ZnO TFTs is the relatively high processing temperature (≥500 °C) for achieving high carrier mobility. Here, facile, low-cost, and solution-processable ZnO TFTs were fabricated under the annealing temperature of ≤300 °C. Dense and polycrystalline ZnO films were deposited by the spin-coating method. The ZnO TFTs showed the maximum electron mobility of 11 cm2/V s and a high on/off ratio of >107 when the ZnO thin films were annealed at 300 °C. The mobility was extremely high among solution-processable undoped ZnO TFTs reported previously, even better than some high-cost indium-doped ZnO TFTs fabricated at low temperature. Furthermore, it is found that the mechanism of oxygen vacancies dominates the electron transport in ZnO thin film and interface behaviors of ZnO thin film and SiO2 gate insulator, and then dominates the performances of devices.

Low-Temperature Processable Degradable Polyesters.

Project description:Block copolymers composed of a low-T(g) and high-T(g) block, with suitable pressure miscibility characteristics, can be formed at low-temperature through the application of pressure. Aliphatic block copolyesters composed of poly(?-caprolactone) derivatives and poly(L-lactide) show room temperature processability under hydraulic pressure of 34.5 MPa without polymer degradation. Mechanism of the pressure-induced flow is investigated by small-angle X-ray scattering. A scattering associated with a lamellae structure observed at ambient conditions decreases with elevating hydrostatic pressures, indicating pressure-induced phase mixing. Traces of the pressure-induced phase transition are studied by differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction. Tensile test of the block copolymers reveals that the mechanical properties can be readily controlled by changing composition, molecular weight, and chemical structure of the blocks. Among them, the hard segment PLLA fraction is the key factor to characterize the properties. Young's modulus of the block copolyesters is similar to that of polyethylene.

Solution-Processable Redox-Active Polymers of Intrinsic Microporosity for Electrochemical Energy Storage.

Project description:Redox-active organic materials have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional inorganic electrode materials in electrochemical devices for energy storage. However, the deployment of redox-active organic materials in practical lithium-ion battery devices is hindered by their undesired solubility in electrolyte solvents, sluggish charge transfer and mass transport, as well as processing complexity. Here, we report a new molecular engineering approach to prepare redox-active polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) that possess an open network of subnanometer pores and abundant accessible carbonyl-based redox sites for fast lithium-ion transport and storage. Redox-active PIMs can be solution-processed into thin films and polymer-carbon composites with a homogeneously dispersed microstructure while remaining insoluble in electrolyte solvents. Solution-processed redox-active PIM electrodes demonstrate improved cycling performance in lithium-ion batteries with no apparent capacity decay. Redox-active PIMs with combined properties of intrinsic microporosity, reversible redox activity, and solution processability may have broad utility in a variety of electrochemical devices for energy storage, sensors, and electronic applications.

Low temperature synthesis of plasmonic molybdenum nitride nanosheets for surface enhanced Raman scattering.

Project description:Molybdenum nitride (?-MoN) is an important functional material due to its impressive catalytic, energy storage, and superconducting properties. However, the synthesis of ?-MoN usually requires extremely harsh conditions; thus, the insight into ?-MoN is far behind that of oxides and sulfides of molybdenum. Herein, we report that ultrathin ?-MoN nanosheets are prepared at 270?°C and 12?atm. WN, VN, and TiN nanosheets are also synthesized by this method. The ?-MoN nanosheets show strong surface plasmon resonance, high conductivity, excellent thermal and chemical stability as well as a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 61.1%. As a promising surface enhanced Raman scattering substrate, the ?-MoN nanosheets exhibit a 8.16?×?106 enhanced factor and a 10-10 level detection limit for polychlorophenol.

Grafting Polymers onto Carbon Nitride via Visible-Light-Induced Photofunctionalization.

Project description:Metal-free graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) has attracted significant attention recently due to its multiple applications, such as photocatalysis, energy storage and conversion, and biomaterials, albeit formation of g-CN films is challenging. Herein, a "grafting to" route to graft polymer brushes onto g-CN via visible-light irradiation is described. Afterward, g-CN/polymer films can be obtained through spin coating on glass substrates. As such, the present material provides an improved process toward further application of g-CN in thin films. Moreover, an improved dispersibility in organic solvent was realized after grafting and functional groups (such as epoxides) were introduced to g-CN. Subsequently, the epoxy groups were utilized for further functionalization to adjust the surface polarity.
