Abstract
The present study demonstrates the designing of copolymer poly(3-octylthiophene-co-3-hexylthiophene) (P3OT-HT) and study of the hole transport mechanism in it. Detailed structural, optical and thermal studies of P3OT-HT discuss its synthesis aspects. Current density–voltage characteristics have been studied at different temperatures (290–110 K) to understand the mechanism of hole transport in P3OT-HT. It has been established that current density in P3OT-HT thin films is governed by space charge limited conduction with traps distributed exponentially in energy and space. Hole mobility is both temperature and electric field dependent arising due to substituent functional groups attached the polymer backbone.
