520 |a Conjugated polymers are a versatile class of electronic materials featured in a variety of next-generation electronic devices. The utility of such polymers is contingent in large part on their electrical conductivity, which depends both on the density of charge carriers (polarons) and on the carrier mobility. Carrier mobility, in turn, is largely controlled by the separation between the polarons and dopant counterions, as counterions can produce Coulombic traps. In previous work, we showed that large dopants based on dodecaborane (DDB) clusters were able to reduce Coulombic binding and thus increase carrier mobility in regioregular (RR) poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT). Here, we use a DDB-based dopant to study the effects of polaron-counterion separation in chemically doped regiorandom (RRa) P3HT, which is highly amorphous. X-ray scattering shows that the DDB dopants, despite their large size, can partially order the RRa P3HT during doping and produce a doped polymer crystal structure similar to that of DDB-doped RR P3HT; Alternating Field (AC) Hall measurements also confirm a similar hole mobility. We also show that use of the large DDB dopants successfully reduces Coulombic binding of polarons and counterions in amorphous polymer regions, resulting in a 77% doping efficiency in RRa P3HT films. The DDB dopants are able to produce RRa P3HT films with a 4.92 S/cm conductivity, a value that is ∼200× higher than that achieved with 3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4TCNQ), the traditional dopant molecule. These results show that tailoring dopants to produce mobile carriers in both the amorphous and semicrystalline regions of conjugated polymers is an effective strategy for increasing achievable polymer conductivities, particularly in low-cost polymers with random regiochemistry. The results also emphasize the importance of dopant size and shape for producing Coulombically unbound, mobile polarons capable of electrical conduction in less-ordered materials
