Abstract

We investigate locations of molecular oxygen and moisture (O2/H2O) serving as traps in poly[2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene] (MEH-PPV) by measurements of field-induced thermally stimulated current, photoexcitation thermally stimulated current (PE-TSC), and dynamic mechanical analysis. Two broad peaks of PE-TSC are found at 212 and 325 K in the samples with O2/H2O-rich MEH-PPV, which are in reasonable agreement with those of the side chain and main chain relaxation, respectively. These traps can be attributed to the presence of O2/H2O (most likely molecular oxygen) in the side chain region and the amorphous main chain region, and the detrapping process is induced by chain motions under elevated temperatures.
