Abstract

Organic photodetectors (OPDs) have attracted great attention because of their advantages including tunable response range, easy processability, and flexibility. Various conjugated polymers have been developed for high-performing OPDs. Herein, a series of tellurophene-based random copolymers containing two typical electron-withdrawing units naphthalene diimide (NDI) and perylene diimide (PDI) are designed and synthesized. Through varying the ratio of PDI/NDI moieties of the analogous polymers, the optophysical properties and film morphology, together with photodetector performances, are systematically tuned. It was demonstrated that the photodetectors based on the polymer with the molar ratio of PDI/NDI units of 70/30 possessed strong photoinduced absorption and favorable morphology via transient absorption spectra and atomic force microscopy studies. As a result, a high responsivity about 19.1 A/W at 600 nm and an excellent detectivity more than 1012 Jones ranging from 350 to 600 nm were successfully achieved, which are among the highest values for OPDs and comparable to inorganic counterparts.
