Isoindigo-based polymer field-effect transistors: effects of selenophene-substitution on high charge carrier mobility

Abstract

We show that selenophene-substitution can be an efficient synthetic strategy toward high charge carrier mobility of isoindigo (IID)-based copolymers when their side chains are optimized. A high mobility of 5.8 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) is demonstrated by a strategically designed IID-based polymer, with both side-chain adjustment and selenophene-substitution.
