Morphology and Charge Transport in P3HT: A Theorist’s Perspective

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
P3HT Revisited – From Molecular Scale to Solar Cell Devices

Part of the book series: Advances in Polymer Science ((POLYMER,volume 265))

Abstract

Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) is the fruit fly among polymeric organic semiconductors. It has complex self-assembling and electronic properties and yet lacks the synthetic challenges that characterize advanced donor–acceptor-type polymers. P3HT can be used both in solar cells and in field-effect transistors. Its morphological, conductive, and optical properties have been characterized in detail using virtually any and every experimental technique available, whereas the contributions of theory and simulation to a rationalization of these properties have so far been modest. The purpose of this review is to take a snapshot of these results and, more importantly, outline directions that still require substantial method development.
