用于有机薄膜晶体管的可拉伸复合电极的构筑与性能研究

Construction and properties of stretchable composite electrodes for organic thin-film transistors

  • 摘要: 可拉伸电极是构筑可拉伸有机薄膜晶体管(OTFT)的核心组件之一,其性能直接决定器件的电荷注入效率与机械可靠性。本文以聚氨酯(PU)为弹性体基体,分别与AgNWs、PEDOT:PSS与PBFDO复合制备了三类可拉伸复合电极,系统研究了导电组分含量对电导率、力学性能及循环拉伸稳定性的影响,并验证了其作为OTFT电极的可行性。结果表明,三类复合电极的电导率均随导电物质含量增加呈典型渗透行为,其中AgNWs/PU复合电极在AgNWs含量为30wt%时电导率达3393 S/cm,断裂伸长率超过400%,在100%应变下循环拉伸1000次后归一化电阻仅为1.16。三类复合电极均可用于构筑OTFT器件,其器件性能与基于蒸镀银电极的器件性能相当。综合对比表明,AgNWs/PU复合电极在导电性、拉伸性和循环稳定性方面表现最优,展现出作为构筑本征可拉伸OTFT电极材料的巨大潜力。

     

    Abstract: Stretchable electrodes are core components in the construction of stretchable organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs), and their performance critically determines both the charge injection efficiency and the mechanical reliability of the devices. Herein, three types of stretchable composite electrodes were fabricated using polyurethane (PU) as the elastomeric matrix, combined with AgNWs, PEDOT:PSS, and PBFDO, respectively. The effects of conductive component content on electrical conductivity, mechanical properties, and cyclic stretching stability were systematically investigated, and the feasibility of applying these electrodes in OTFTs was verified. The results show that the electrical conductivity of all electrodes exhibits typical percolation behavior with increasing conductive material content. Among them, the PU/AgNWs composite electrode achieved a conductivity of 3393 S/cm at an AgNWs content of 30wt%, with a tensile elongation at break exceeding 400%. Furthermore, it exhibited a normalized resistance of only 1.16 after 1000 cyclic tensile tests at 100% strain. All three composite electrodes were successfully used to fabricate OTFT devices, with performance comparable to that of devices using evaporated silver electrodes. A comprehensive comparison reveals that the AgNWs/PU electrode offers the best overall performance in terms of conductivity, stretchability, and cycling stability, demonstrating its great potential as an electrode material candidate for constructing intrinsically stretchable OTFTs.
