AI Article Synopsis
- This study introduces a spectroelectrochemical method for quickly assessing how stable conjugated polymers are when exposed to oxidative stress.
- The stability of polaron states in two types of copolymers—PTTz (thiophene and thiazole) and PTTTz (bithiophene and thiazole)—is evaluated against the well-known polymer P3HT.
- Results show that P3HT offers the best stability, while PTTz demonstrates the least stability under oxidative conditions.
Article Abstract
We describe a spectroelectrochemical approach to accelerated electrochemical stability studies of conjugated polymers under oxidative stress. The polaron stabilities of alternating copolymers based on (i) thiophene and thiazole, namely PTTz, and (ii) bithiophene and thiazole, namely PTTTz, are compared in neat films with that of P3HT. P3HT is found to be the most stable whilst PTTz is found to be the least stable.
