摘要
Despite the high potential of one-dimensional (1D) donor-acceptor (D-A) coaxial nanostructures in bulk-heterojunction solar cell applications, the preparation of such 1D nanostructures using π-conjugated polymers has remained elusive. Herein, we demonstrate the first example of D-A semiconducting nanoribbons based on fully conjugated block copolymers (BCPs) prepared in a highly efficient procedure with controllable width and length via living crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA). Initially, Suzuki-Miyaura catalyst-transfer polymerization was employed to successfully synthesize BCPs containing two types of acceptor shells as the first block, followed by a donor poly(3-propylthiophene) core as the second block. The limited solubility and high crystallinity of the core induced a polymerization-induced crystallization-driven self-assembly (PI-CDSA) of the BCPs into nanoribbons during polymerization, providing a tunable width (7.6-39.6 nm) depending on the length of the polymer backbone. Surprisingly, purifying as-synthesized BCPs via simple precipitation directly yielded short and uniform seed structures, greatly shortening the overall protocol by eliminating the time-consuming process of initial aging and breaking down to the seed required for the conventional CDSA. With this new highly efficient method, we achieved length control over a broad range from 169 to 2210 nm, with high precision (
