Item Roll Of Crystallinity In Doping Via Cation Expulsion In A Mixed-Conducting Polythiophene(2024-01-01) Kelly, Ella J.; Mitchell, Josephine W.Organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors (OMIECs) are a class of solid materials that can conduct ionic and electronic charges. OMIECs have many applications, including in neuromorphic computing and bioelectronics. Given their versatility, the ability to optimize the OMIEC’s performance for a specific use is important. One optimizable factor is polymer crystallinity; however, the relationship between microstructure and doping kinetics has not been thoroughly explored. To understand how a polymer’s crystallinity affects its performance and doping kinetics, we tested the commercially available poly(3-[2-[2-(2--Methoxyethoxy)ethoxy]ethyl]thiophene-2,5-diyl (P3MEEET) in organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs). We investigated regiorandom (RRa) and regioregular (RR) P3MEEET, assuming their microstructure would be significantly different, as is the case for its alkylated analogue, poly(3-hexylthipohene-2,5-diyl (P3HT)1. To obtain additional microstructures, OECTs were annealed with two cooling rates. This resulted in an improvement of μC*, the product of mobility and volumetric capacitance, for RRa P3MEEET but a decrease of μC* for RR P3MEEET when operated in 0.1 M KCl. For the RRa polymer, this improvement is primarily due to an increased C* (volumetric capacitance) caused by annealing. Additionally, testing OECTs in 0.1 M KTFSI environments rendered the device performance impervious to microstructural changes from annealing.Item Thomas Woodworth Presenting a Check to President Hicks(Kalamazoo College, 1954) Schiavone StudioBaseball will be resumed on the Kalamazoo College campus in the spring of 1955.
