Article Synopsis
- Molecular dopants enhance the electrical conductivity of semiconducting polymers, but not all produce effective charge carriers.
- Researchers utilized ultrafast spectroscopy to investigate the charge carriers formed when doping specific conjugated polymers with F TCNQ and FeCl.
- The study found that for one type of polymer, the resulting charge carriers were non-conductive bipolarons instead of single polarons, and that transient absorption spectroscopy can differentiate between these carrier types.
- The research also suggests that the size of the donor units in the polymers affects the stability of the charge carriers, with larger units favoring the formation of bipolarons.
