The author mentioned the following in the article:
Strategic side-chain engineering has led to an increase in the power factor of isoindigo-based conjugated polymers (CPs) by an order of magnitude. We investigated the effect of side chains on the elec. properties of doped isoindigo-based CPs and gained insight into structure-elec. property-thermoelec. transport intercorrelation for optimization of thermoelec. CPs. For this study, we designed and synthesized four isoindigo-based polymers having different types of alkyl chains. The size of the alkyl chains significantly affected the crystallinity of the films, which subsequently resulted in different charge carrier mobilities and diffusion efficiencies of the mol. dopant. Amorphous polymers with bulkier alkyl chains promoted efficient dopant diffusion while their carrier mobility was relatively lower than that of crystalline CPs. Systematic characterizations on the structural, elec., and thermoelec. properties of the CP films showed a trade-off effect for these side-chain structures for optimization of the thermoelec. effect, and with the optimized structure, we obtained a significantly improved power factor up to 37.8μW·m-1·K-2. This study suggests that exercising fine control of crystallinity through side-chain modification of the fixed polymer backbone can be a simple but very effective approach to maximizing organic thermoelec. effects of CPs. And 2-Hexyl-1-decanol (cas: 2425-77-6) was used in the research process.
2-Hexyl-1-decanol(cas: 2425-77-6) has been shown to inhibit the growth of b16 mouse melanoma cells, suggesting it may be useful for treating skin cancer.Formula: C16H34O This fatty acid also has transport properties and can form hydrogen bonds with other molecules.
