This paper studies the influence of alkyl-chain length in poly(3-alkylthiophene)s over the morphology of thin films and electrical parameters of the devices based on it. Regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) and poly(3-octylthiophene) were chosen as the semiconducting materials for the study. The morphological variations were studied by absorption spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction study. The absorption and photoluminescence showed decreased coplanarity of main chain in poly(3-octylthiophene) over poly(3-hexylthiophene) and which was later confirmed using X-ray diffraction studies which clearly showed increased interchain spacing in case of poly(3-octylthiophene). The schottky diodes fabricated using these materials showed decreased mobility in poly(3-octylthiophene) based diodes as measured by space-charge limiting current method and photo-induced charge carrier extraction by linearly increasing voltage technique. Moreover, we observed a negative field dependence of mobility at room temperature in both the devices and attributed this to the presence of dominant positional disorder in poly(3-alkylthiophene)s. Furthermore, the photocurrent dependence on electric field too showed inferior mobility of poly(3-octylthiophene) based diodes.

AbstractThe morphology and structure of the overlying poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) layer onto differently silanized silicon oxide has been studied by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) techniques. By increasing the silanizer alkyl chain length, the layer morphology evolves from a filament like to globular needle like as a consequence of the different SAM organization, while the P3HT conformation remains edge-on. For each case the effect of the annealing temperature has been studied. For all the cases a particular attention has been paid to the first thin layers close to the interface P3HT/SiOx. The effect of a polar substituent and presence of aromatic ring has been also studied.

In this work CeO2 nanoparticles (CeO2-NPs) were synthesized through the thermal decomposition of Ce(NO3)3·6H2O, using as capping agents either octylamine or oleylamine, to evaluate the effect of alkyl chain length, an issue at 150 °C, in the case of octylamine and at 150 and 250 °C, in the case of oleylamine, to evaluate the effect of the temperature on NPs properties. All the nanoparticles were extensively characterized by a multidisciplinary approach, such as wide-angle X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, UV-Vis, fluorescence, Raman and FTIR spectroscopies. The analysis of the experimental data shows that the capping agent nature and the synthesis temperature affect nanoparticle properties including size, morphology, aggregation and Ce3+/Ce4+ ratio. Such issues have not been discussed yet, at the best of our knowledge, in the literature. Notably, CeO2-NPs synthesized in the presence of oleylamine at 250 °C showed no tendency to aggregation and we made them water-soluble through a further coating with sodium oleate. The obtained nanoparticles show a less tendency to clustering forming stable aggregates (ranging between 14 and 22 nm) of few NPs. These were tested for biocompatibility and ROS inhibiting activity, demonstrating a remarkable antioxidant activity, against oxidative stress.
