The kinetics and the mechanisms of degradation of thin P3HT layers have been investigated quantitatively for ozonization and photo-oxidation. Both, decay kinetics and product evolution of the polymer degradation are monitored by in situ UV/VIS and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The degradation pathways of ozonization and photo-oxidation of P3HT turn out to be significantly different. Ozone attacks the thiophene units mainly by direct addition to the double bonds, leading to the loss of UV/VIS absorption, while the aliphatic side chains [1] are hardly affected. During photo-oxidation, the polymer is primarily attacked at the alkyl side chain which leads to the formation of reactive peroxide species. These subsequently cause the oxidation of sulfur and concomitantly the destruction of the thiophene ring, resulting in the loss of absorption. From the kinetics of the blue shift of the optical absorption it is concluded that the polymer is mainly attacked at the terminal thiophene rings the case of photo-oxidation whereas ozone attacks positions more or less randomly distributed along the chain. The rate of photo-oxidation under AM 1.5 conditions is at least one order of magnitude faster than the decomposition of P3HT by ozone. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
