Öğe A neutral state colorless phosphazene/carbazole hybride dendron and its electrochromic device application(Elsevier Science Sa, 2015) Sezgin, Meryem; Özay, Özgür; Koyuncu, Sermet; Ozay, Hava; Koyuncu, Fatma BaycanIn this work, a new phosphazene/carbazole hybride dendron (PC) was synthesized and then directly coated onto ITO glass surface to provide a dendritic polymer network, poly-(PC), by using potentiodynamic electrochemical process. Structure of dendron was identified by FT-IR, H-1 and P-31 NMR, and also TOF-MS analyses. The optical and electrochemical properties of PC and its electrochemical crosslinked product were investigated by using UV-vis absorption, fluorescence and CV techniques. A neutral, colorless electrochromic device was constructed in the sandwich configuration [indium tin oxide (ITO)coated glass/anodically coloring material (poly-(PC))//gel electrolyte//cathodically coloring material (PEDOT)/ITO-coated glass] and revealed a short response time (about 0.5 s), high coloration efficiency (981 cm(2) C-1) and high redox stability.

The product obtained by chemical polymerization exhibits a high thermal stability and narrow molecular weight distribution. While, in the UV-vis absorption spectrum of monomer the absorption peaks appear at 338 nm, the chemically synthesized polymer absorbs at 428 nm with 90 nm red shift. Cyclic voltammogram of monomer shows two separate oxidation processes which reflect the first oxidation at +0.84 V and a second one at +1.43 V. When the polymeric film prepared by electrochemical process was subjected to a repeated cyclic scan between -0.2V and +1.0V, it switches among three different colors (orange, green and blue). The oxidation and reduction response times were calculated as 2.0 s for this polymer film and exhibits high redox stability. The results anticipate that this kind of polymers can be used for designing electrochromics based on the use of one molecule for the generation of three basic colors (RGB). (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

Subsequently, electrochemical co-polymerization of this monomer was carried out by using 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) as co-monomer to give electrochromic polymer film. Spectro-electrochemical studies indicated that co-polymer films exhibit relatively lower band gap than that of homo-polymer. Consequently, photo-induced energy and charge transfer properties from the donor-carbazole to naphthalimide-acceptor were studied by using cyclic voltammetry, UV-vis absorption and emission spectroscopy.

The band gap, E, was measured using UV-Vis spectroscopy and compared with that obtained by cyclic voltammetry (CV). Efficient intramolecular electron transfer from carbazole-donor to perynediimide-acceptor leads to remarkable fluorescence quenching of the perylene core. Furthermore, spectroelectrochemical property and surface morphology of the polymer film were investigated. Characteristic monoanion and dianion radical bands on the UV-Vis absorption spectra attributed to the electrochemical reduction of the neutral polymer were observed. During the reduction process, red color of the film turned into blue and violet, respectively. Finally, the photovoltaic performance of the D-A double-cable polymer was checked and nearly 0.1% electrical conversion efficiency is obtained under simulated AM 1.5 solar light with 100 mW/cm(2) radiation power.

J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 47: 6280-6291, 2009Öğe A new imine coupled pyrrole-carbazole-pyrrole polymer: Electra-optical properties and electrochromism(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2010) Is, Ozde Deniz; Koyuncu, Fatma Baycan; Koyuncu, Sermet; Ozdemir, EyupIn this study, imine bond coupled pyrrole carbazole pyrrole monomers were synthesized in four steps and then directly polymerized onto ITO/glass surface via potentiodynamic electrochemical process. Electrochemical and optical bad gap of these monomers and polymers were calculated by using cyclic voltammetry and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. Conductivity of the polymers with different alkyl side-chain was determined by using four point probe technique. Length of the side-alkyl chain influence iodine doping and also conductivity of polymers. As a result of the spectroelectrochemical measurements, the orange color of film changed to green color with applied potential and the polymer was found to be suitable material for electrochromic applications.

When positive potentials were applied on the polymer film of SNSPA, the film at the neutral state turned from orange to green (0.6 V) and then to blue (1.1 V) because of the presence of polaronic and bipolaronic species on the SNS main chain of the polymer. At the last stage, a complementary electrochromic device was constructed by using poly(SNSPA) as the anode layer and PEDOT:PSS as the cathode layer. A fast response time (about 0.5 s) and a high stability of about 98% were obtained at the end of 1000 cycles. The capability of the proposed polymer to undergo reversible color change among brown, green, and blue is a significant property for use as an adaptive camouflage material for all conditions of sand, forest, and sea for military applications.Öğe A new low band gap electrochromic polymer containing 2,5-bis-dithienyl-1H-pyrrole and 2,1,3-benzoselenadiazole moiety with high contrast ratio(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2011) Koyuncu, Fatma Baycan; Sefer, Emre; Koyuncu, Sermet; Ozdemir, EyupA new low band gap electrochromic polymer containing of 3-(2,5-di-2-thienyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)-9-ethyl-9H-carbazole (SNSC) and 2,1,3-benzoselenadiazole (BSe) moiety has been reported. Structural identification of initial compounds and product were carried out by using FT-IR and H-1 NMR spectroscopy results. The resulting polymer, poly(SNSC-BSe), was completely soluble in various common organic solvents and its weight-average molecular weight (M-w) were 9420 (PDI: 1.22). According to AFM results, the RMS (root mean surface) roughness of poly-(SNSC-BSe) was found to be 48.6 nm. Besides, the thermogravimetric analysis presented that the poly(SNSC-BSe) is moderately stable against to thermal effect with the initial degradation temperature at 182 degrees C. The lowest energy transition band maxima of poly(SNSC-BSe) was 498 nm in thin film and the optical band gap calculated from the onset wavelength of the optical absorption was 1.77 eV. On the other hand, the electrochemical band gap calculated from oxidation and reduction onset values was 1.60 eV, respectively. Finally, the electrochromic performance of the polymer film represents a high contrast ratio in the NIR region (51%), fast response time of about 1 s, high coloration efficiency (274 cm(2) C-1) and retained its performance by 94.6% even after 1000 cycles.

The electrochemical and optical properties of TCT-N monomer and its polymer have been compared to the 9-phenyl-2,7-di-2-thienyl-9H-carbazole (TCT) standard molecule. Cyclic voltammetry revealed that TCT-N and TCT have excellent polymerization activity; due to extended conjugation with the attached thiophene unit and also their low oxidation potentials. The oxidation potential of TCT-N is higher than that of TCT, because of electro-withdrawing effect of -NO2 moiety. Besides, the TCT-N polymeric film prepared via electrochemical process exhibits a multi-electrochromic behavior compared with TCT standard molecule. The electroactive orange color of poly-TCT-N film converted respectively to green, turquoise and dark blue upon applied positive potentials. Consequently, the polymeric electrochrome exhibits multi-electrochromic behavior, high redox stability, high coloration efficiency and reasonable response time for electrochromic applications.

The electrochemical and optical properties of SNSC monomer and its polymer have been investigated. Because of having two different electro-donor moieties; that is, carbazole and SNS, SNSC gave two separate electrochemical oxidation and also light brown color of the film in the neutral state turn into gray on oxidation.

The electrochemical and optical properties were investigated via cyclic voltammetry (CV), UV Vis absorption and fluorescence emission measurements, respectively. Besides, electrochromic performance of poly(SNS NI) has been compared to the both the film preparation method and poly(1-phenyl-2,5-dithiophen-2-ylpyrrole) [poly(SNS-P)] as a standard polymer. In the poly(SNS-NI), yellow color of the polymer film at neutral state converted to green and then dark blue upon the polymer film fully oxidized in the positive regime.

The band gap E-g was measured using UV-vis spectroscopy and compared with that obtained by cyclic voltammetry (CV). Due to intramolecular electron transfer from Cbz-donor to 1,8-napthalimide-acceptor, the fluorescence quenching was observed. When the spectro-electrochemical and electrochromic properties of polymer film were investigated, various tones of green color were obtained on the polymeric film. In the positive regime, the polymer film obtained thereby is dark green resulting from the association of carbazolylium cation radicals at oxidized state and then it can be bleached by electrochemical reduction. Besides, in the negative regime, yellowish green color of film converted to blue attributed to reduction of the 1,8-napthalimide moiety. Finally, the polymeric electrochromic exhibits multi-electrochromic behavior, high redox stability, high coloration efficiency and reasonable response time. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Electrochemical properties were elucidated by cyclic voltammetry and then HOMO-LUMO band gaps were calculated by using their oxidation and reduction onset potentials. Finally, electrochromic properties of poly-(MES16) and poly-(TST) were investigated via spectro-electrochemical measurements. DFT calculations exhibit that poly-(MES16) has a high planarity and an intramolecular charge transfer from the polymer backbone-donor to thiadiazole-acceptor subunit. Because of high solid state it it interactions of the poly-(MES16), a good quality film was obtained corresponding to self assembly property planar phenantrene center. Owing to this property, electrochromic performance of poly-(MES16) such as response time, stability and Delta T% were better than the standard poly-(TST). (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

These monomers were electrochemically polymerized by potentiodynamic method to obtain electrochromic polymer films. Spectro-electrochemical properties were also investigated by UV-vis absorption connected with the cyclic voltammetry measurements. The polymer films exhibited a remarkable trend of visible color (yellow, orange, red) at the neutral state due to changing the central acceptor moiety. These polymer films have multielectrochromic properties by means of moderately changing the absorbance/transmittance at the visible regime upon applied positive potentials. The donor-acceptor interaction at the neutral state correlated by DFT calculations was also supported by the interesting trend in the colors of these polymers. Finally, the electrochromic performance of EP-X polymer films represented a high redox stability, reasonable contrast ratio, coloration efficiency and response times. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.
