| Zusammenfassung: | © 2018 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim. Solution processing of conjugated polymers into ordered self-assembled precursors has attracted great interest in the past years owing to the ability to manipulate their structural and physical properties. Regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) has become the benchmark polymer in this scenario, where ordered lamellar structures significantly improve carrier mobility of the thin films due to increased crystallinity, extended intrachain conjugation, and ordered interchain π-stacking. Here, a new photoinduced approach is presented for the generation of highly ordered P3HT aggregate structures that is amenable to the use of visible light to control the aggregate formation. Strong intra- and interchain interactions in the solution precursors allow for permanent formation of localized and delocalized polarons that are stable for months. Spin-coated thin films are found to preserve, in part, the morphological and physical properties of the aggregated P3HT solution precursors with high degree of crystallinity and short π-stack interchain distances |
