Novel Nanocomposites of Various Grafted Graphenes and Poly(۳-hexylthiophene)

Bared reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and various grafted rGOs as well as poly(۳-hexylthiophene) (P۳HT) chains were used for fabricating novel different patterned nanocomposites. These nanohybrids could be applied in the active layer of polymer solar cells. Synthesized grafted rGOs were composed of rGO-g-poly(۳-dodecylthiophene) (PDDT), rGO-g-P۳HT, and rGO-g-polyaniline (PANI). Four well-designed nanocomposites of (rGO-g-PDDT) (GPDDT)/P۳HT with patched-like pattern, rGO-polythiophene (GPTh)/P۳HT/(phenylC-butyric acid methyl ester) (PC۷۱BM) nanofiber, rGO-g-P۳HT/P۳HT with cake-like pattern and PANI-g-rGO/P۳HT supramolecules were designed. Morphology of nanostructures were analyzed by the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images. Orientation of P۳HT chains in the ultimate nanocomposites were determined by the corresponding selected area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns.
