The strong molecule-surface interaction, followed by charge transfer at the interface, plays a fundamental role in the thermal stability of the layer by rigidly anchoring the porphyrin molecules to the copper substrate.

The microstructure of the active blend layer has been shown to be a critically important factor in the performance of organic solar devices. Block copolymers provide a potentially interesting avenue for controlling this active layer microstructure in solar cell blends. Here we explore the impact of backbone fluorination in block copolymers of poly(3-octyl-4-fluorothiophene)s and poly(3-octylthiophene) (F-P3OT-b-P3OT). Two block co-polymers with varying block lengths were prepared via sequential monomer addition under Kumada catalyst transfer polymerisation (KCTP) conditions. We compare the behavior of the block copolymer to that of the corresponding homopolymer blends. In both types of system, we find the fluorinated segments tend to dominate the UV–visible absorption and molecular vibrational spectral features, as well as the thermal behavior. In the block copolymer case, non-fluorinated segments appear to slightly frustrate the aggregation of the more fluorinated block. However, in situ temperature dependent Raman spectroscopy shows that the intramolecular order is more thermally stable in the block copolymer than in the corresponding blend, suggesting that such materials may be interesting for enhanced thermal stability of organic photovoltaic active layers based on similar systems.

The morphologies, synthesis, and photophysical characterizations of poly[2,7-(9,9-dihexylfluorene)]-block-poly(2-(diethylamino)ethylmethacrylate) using amphiphilic rod-coil (PF-b-PDEAEMA) were demonstrated. The aggregation morphologies of PF13-b-PDEAEMA100 were manipulated by tuning the selectivity of mixed THF/methanol solvents with methanol contents ranging from 0 to 90 vol%. The morphological transformation of PF13-b-PDEAEMA100 caused significant changes in its photophysical properties, including absorption, fluorescence spectra, and fluorescence quenching. Moreover, the thermal stability of PF13-b-PDEAEMA100 was investigated by varying the annealing temperature. The results of the present study suggest that the solvent selectivity influences the photophysical properties and aggregation morphologies of rod-coil block copolymers in solid and solution states.
