N2 -
n-Type organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) and
organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) are less developed than their
p-type counterparts. Herein, polynaphthalenediimide (PNDI)-based
copolymers bearing novel fluorinated selenophene-vinylene-selenophene
(FSVS) units as efficient materials for both n-type OECTs and n-type
OFETs are reported. The PNDI polymers with oligo(ethylene glycol) (EG7)
side chains P(NDIEG7-FSVS), affords a high µC* of > 0.2 F cm−1 V−1 s−1,
outperforming the benchmark n-type Pg4NDI-T2 and Pg4NDI-gT2 by two
orders of magnitude. The deep-lying LUMO of −4.63 eV endows
P(NDIEG7-FSVS) with an ultra-low threshold voltage of 0.16 V. Moreover,
the conjugated polymer with octyldodecyl (OD) side chains P(NDIOD-FSVS)
exhibits a surprisingly low energetic disorder with an Urbach energy of
36 meV and an ultra-low activation energy of 39 meV, resulting in high
electron mobility of up to 0.32 cm2 V−1 s−1
in n-type OFETs. These results demonstrate the great potential for
simultaneously achieving a lower LUMO and a tighter intermolecular
packing for the next-generation efficient n-type organic electronics.
