Recent progress in organic nano-composites: Synthesis and treatments for use as active layers in electronic devices
Keywords:
Density functional theory, photovoltaic cells, single walled carbon nanotubesAbstract
The present work represents an overview for organic materials and their nano-structuration using carbon nano-tubes. Particular attention is allowed to the polyaniline polymer and single walled carbon nanotubes which are the subject of our theoretical and experimental investigation after their functionalization. In the other hand, we give a detailed report concerning the previously used synthesis methods, incorporating polymers and carbon nanotubes. In fact, the functionalization process needs some technical treatments including purification, nanotubes dispersion and alignment on the organic matrix. Therefore, we give a detailed description of physical and chemical methods used to achieve the functionalization process. Moreover, the aptitude of organic nano-composites for the use as active layers in electronic devices, especially in electroluminescence and photovoltaic conversion is also discussed and evaluated by comparison to those of inorganic conventional semi-conductors. The second section of this present work represents a correlation of experimental and theoretical results obtained in our laboratory on the Polyaniline/ single walled carbon nanotube as a prototype of organic nano-composite. The study is focused on the evaluation of the properties of the charge transfer between both components. In this context, Polyanilineemeraldine base (PANIEB) is doped with sulfonic acid in Dimethyl formamide (DMF) solvent and mechanically functionalized with single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). A systematic vibrational and optical study is achieved as a function of SWCNTs weight concentration. Also, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis and optical absorption (OA) measurements were achieved. Our aim is to evaluate the functionnalization process between both components and to elucidate the corresponding changes on the optical properties. In this context and to support the charge transfer from doped polyaniline to carbon nanotubes, analogous theoretical study based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) is carried out. This study is based on the optical and vibrational Received: 11th January, 2017; Accepted: 3 rd February, 2017; Published: 28th February, 2017 Int. J. Exp. Res. Rev., Vol. 9: 11-46 (2017) 12 calculations. Principally, spin density distribution, atomic charge and bond length modifications from ground to oxidized state are used to supports the grafting process. The correlation structure-properties obtained either experimentally or theoretically evidences that the resulting composite exhibits good photovoltaic properties.
