We have prepared, characterized and surveyed device performance for a series of electron deficient pentacenes use as acceptors in polymer bulk heterojunction solar cells, using P3HT the donor material. All materials reported here behaved acceptors, variations position nature electron-withdrawing group on pentacene core allowed tuning open-circuit voltage. Photocurrent was strongly correlated with crystal packing motif; 2D π-stacking interactions performed poorly compared exhibiting 1D...
A structure-device performance correlation in bulk heterojunction solar cells for new indandione-derived small molecule electron acceptors, FEHIDT and F8IDT, is presented. Devices based on the former exhibit higher power conversion efficiency (2.4%) open circuit voltage, a finding consistent with reduced intermolecular interactions.
6,13-Bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl) (TIPS)-pentacene has proven to be a promising soluble p-type material for organic thin film transistors as well photovoltaics. In this work, we show that adding electron-withdrawing nitrile functional groups TIPS-pentacene turns it into an n-type material, which can used acceptor solar cells. Several new cyanopentacenes with different trialkylsilyl have been synthesized. The HOMO–LUMO energy levels tuned by varying the number of groups, while control...
We report a novel synthesis to ultra high purity 7,14-bis((trimethylsilyl)ethynyl)dibenzo[b,def]-chrysene (TMS-DBC) and the use of this material in growth single crystals by solution vapor deposition techniques. observe that substrate temperature has dramatic impact on crystal growth, producing two distinct polymorphs TMS-DBC; low (LT) fine red needles (HT) large yellow platelets. Single X-ray crystallography confirms packing structures where LT form 1D slipped-stack structure, while HT...
We show that the method we have developed for measuring singlet exciton diffusion length in blends with [6,6]-phenyl-C(61)-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) can be applied not only to polymeric materials, but also small molecule organic semiconductors.

Polymorphism is pervasive in molecular solids. While computational predictions of the polymorphic landscape have improved significantly, identifying which polymorphs are preferentially accessed and experimentally stable remains a challenge. We report framework that correlates short intermolecular contacts with stability. The presence between neighboring molecules prevents structural rearrangement stabilizes packing arrangement, even when stabilized polymorph not enthalpically favored. In...

ABSTRACT This study investigated the effect of subcritical heat treatment and cold work on hydrogen embrittlement (HE) susceptibility X65 D pipeline steel, representative Dampier‐Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline (DBNGP). Specimens were subjected to sub‐critical annealing at 200°C, 400°C, or 600°C for 2 h drawn 5% reduction in area. Linearly increasing stress tests (LISTs) indicated reduced strength increased ductility, while working decreased ductility. Hydrogen charging ductility all specimens....

The hot workability and microstructural evolution of a highly β stabilised Ti–25V–15Cr–0·3Si alloy have been studied using constant strain rate isothermal compression tests in the temperature range 900–1100°C 0·01–10 s −1 . It was found that all flow stress curves were characterised by sharp initial discontinuous yielding followed either steady state or continuous softening with strain. This showed dynamic recovery at temperatures less than 950°C but recrystallisation higher 1000°C. At rates...
