Abstract: | The FeCl3-doped three poly(3-alkylthiophenes) (P3ATs) in solid state, i.e. poly(3-octylthiophene) (P3OT), poly(3-dodecylthiophene) (P3ODT) and poly(3-octadecylthiophene) (P3ODT), were investigated in this paper. In X-ray diffraction results, there are obvious variations of the interlayer and interlayer spacings in the layered structures of P3ATs. In addition, it is found that some orientations of the side-chain groups occur after the doping process. The infrared spectra have also shown the microstructural changes arising from the readjustments of the polymer chains due to the intervention of the dopant. The presence of dopant leads to the formation of bipolarons and polarons at the same time. The conductivity measurements reveal that the conductivity decreases with the increase of the length of side-chain group. We have also observed the relaxation behaviors in the conductivities of the doped polymers. |
