General description
Poly(3-butylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3BT) is an alkylthiophene based conducting polymer that can be used as a donor molecule in the development of organic electronics. It is a π-conjugating polymer with a π-π stacking distance of 0.395 nm.
Application
P3BT can act as a hole transporting layer (HTL) which can potentially be used in the fabrication of organic field effect transistors (OFETs), chemical sensors, rechargeable batteries and polymeric solar cells (PSCs).
