Developments in polytellurophenes and tellurophene-containing polymers: from synthesis to applications
Tellurium is a metalloid, and as such its properties are uniquely placed at the interface between organic and inorganic chemistry. Its five-membered heterocycle, tellurophene, has unique redox, optical, and electronic properties. When integrated as a homopolymer or as a copolymer, tellurophene polymers exhibit novel properties which can be tailored to optimise optoelectronic performance. In this review, we first discuss the inherent properties of the polymers, we then discuss various synthetic methods for their preparation. In addition, we discuss applications of tellurophene polymers in optoelectronic and biomedical applications. Finally, we give an insight into the major challenges still to be overcome for these materials and the future areas for development.
期刊介绍:
Polymer Chemistry welcomes submissions in all areas of polymer science that have a strong focus on macromolecular chemistry. Manuscripts may cover a broad range of fields, yet no direct application focus is required.
