Description

Method for producing a conductive polymer using a continuous flow reaction process {Synthesis of conjugated polymers by using continuous flow process}

The present invention relates to a method for producing a conductive polymer using a continuous flow reaction process.

Conductive polymers are organic semiconductors and are used in various organic electronic/energy devices such as organic solar cells (OPVs), organic transistors (OFETs), and organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Devices made of conductive polymers are lightweight and flexible.

In particular, conductive polymers have the advantage of being able to adjust electrical/optical properties such as absorption wavelength band, band gap, and charge mobility according to the structure of the repeating unit, so it is a material attracting attention as a semiconductor to be used in next-generation portable and wearable electronic devices. . Currently, many conductive polymers with excellent properties have been developed through continuous research.

Although conductive polymers with excellent performance are being developed, it is still difficult to commercialize them, because the batch method currently used in most conductive polymer manufacturing processes has low reproducibility. In order to uniformly implement the aforementioned properties of the conductive polymer, it is important to obtain a polymer having a similar molecular weight and dispersity every time it is polymerized. However, polymer properties such as molecular weight and polydispersity are affected by various reaction conditions such as the shape of the reactor, raw material input rate, and reaction temperature. In particular, in the case of the reaction temperature in the batch method, it is known as the main cause of lowering the reproducibility because it is not the same depending on the location in the reactor.

Such low reproducibility in the conductive polymer production process causes defects in the organic semiconductor manufacturing process using the conductive polymer. In other words, if a product is not produced consistently by establishing a reproducible process, constant performance cannot always be realized in the organic semiconductor manufacturing process that requires high precision.

A representative way to increase reproducibility in chemical synthesis is to introduce a continuous reaction process. In the continuous reaction process, since the reaction mainly takes place in a tubular microreactor with an inner diameter of 1 μm to 1000 μm, the surface area to volume ratio is larger than that of a batch reactor. As a result, it has high heat transfer efficiency. And since the diameter of the tubular microreactor is constant, the shape of the same reactor is maintained at any location. Due to these characteristics, the continuous reaction process has the same reaction temperature regardless of the location in the reactor. In addition, since the input of the reactant is made through a pump, it has a constant input rate. Due to the above advantages, the continuous flow reaction process is known as a highly reproducible process.

Attempts to synthesize a conductive polymer through a continuous flow reaction process are still being made, but it is difficult to form an inert atmosphere. Conductive polymer synthesis requires an inert environment to prevent side reactions and decrease catalyst reactivity, but it is difficult to introduce this condition into the continuous flow reaction process.

Non-patent document 1 is a recent prior art related to the introduction of an inert environment into a continuous reaction process. This discloses the formation of an inert environment by flowing anhydrous solvent back and forth over the reactants. However, in this non-patent document 1, diffusion occurs at the two contact surfaces where the reactant meets the solvent, which leads to an increase in the diffusion rate when the reaction temperature is increased. Due to the increase in the diffusion rate, the concentration of the reactant solution decreases, and therefore, when the reaction temperature is raised, the molecular weight of the polymer decreases and the polydispersity increases.

Therefore, while the inventors of the present invention were studying a method for reproducibly synthesizing a conductive polymer in a continuous flow reaction process, when an inert gas layer is formed to surround the reactant solution between the solvent and the reactant solution, it is stable even in the continuous flow reaction process was found to be able to create an inert environment, and the present invention was completed by optimizing it to be applied to the conductive polymer manufacturing process.

In one aspect of the present invention,

The production method of the present invention is a continuous flow reaction process in which a series of processes of input of raw materials, polymerization reaction, and discharge of a product are continuously performed. It is a step of generating a conductive polymer through polymerization by putting it into a reactor.

The reactant solution for preparing the conductive polymer includes a monomer and a catalyst.

The monomer refers to a starting material when synthesizing a polymer by a polymerization reaction. That is, the monomer refers to a substance that becomes a unit constituting the polymer.

The monomer is not limited as long as it is a monomer for preparing a conductive polymer, and may preferably be a monomer used for a carbon-carbon coupling reaction. Specifically, Stiletto coupling, Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, Heck coupling, and Sonogarisa couple It can be used for rings, etc.

The monomer may be composed of X-R1-X or X-R1-H, and X may be a halogen group. X can be chlorine, bromine or iodine.

The number of the monomers is not limited, but may be 5 or less.

The catalyst is not limited as long as it is a catalyst used in the carbon-carbon coupling reaction, and a palladium-based catalyst may be preferably used. In one embodiment, the catalyst may be tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (Pd(PPh ₃ ) ₄ ).

The reactor may be a micro-reactor.

The reactor may use tubing made of a material capable of withstanding high temperature and high pressure and having chemical resistance, preferably tubular PTFE tubing.

The reactor may be a tubular reactor. That is, the polymerization reaction may be performed while the raw material solution and the catalyst solution flow through a tubular reaction passage.

The inner diameter, length, and shape of the reaction passage of the reactor may be designed to suit the nature of the reaction, the reactants, and the physical properties of the target product.

The reaction flow path of the reactor may be mainly a thin tube in the range of 1 μm to 1000 μm, but depending on the reaction conditions, a wide reactor having a diameter of 1/8 inch to 1/2 inch, such as a column reactor, may be filled and used.

The reactor may be a tubular micro-reactor having an inner diameter of 1 μm to 1000 μm in the reaction passage.

The reactor may further include a mixing tee for smooth mixing of the monomer solution and the catalyst solution in front of the reaction flow path.

The monomer and the catalyst may be dissolved in a solvent, either individually or together.

The solvent may be selected from the group consisting of toluene, tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide, methylformamide, chlorobenzene, water, and a mixed solvent thereof.

The solvent may be a mixture of two or more solvents. In one embodiment, the solvent may be a mixture of toluene: dimethylformamide = 4:1 by volume, toluene: methylformamide = 3:1 by volume, and dimethylformamide: tetra It may be a mixture mixed in a volume ratio of hydrofuran: water = 1: 1: 0.08, tetrahydrofuran: water = 2.5: may be a mixture in a volume ratio of 1, and toluene: tetrahydrofuran: water = 1: 1 : It may be a mixture mixed in a volume ratio of 1.

The monomer and the catalyst may be used in the form of a solution dissolved in a solvent individually or together, the monomer is dissolved at a concentration of 0.001 M to 1 M, and the catalyst is a concentration of 1 mol% to 10 mol% of the number of moles of the monomer can be dissolved with

The monomer may preferably be dissolved at a concentration of 20 to 50 mg/mL relative to the solvent volume, and the catalyst may be dissolved at a concentration of preferably 1 to 10 mol% of the number of moles of the monomer.

The monomer and the catalyst may be used in the form of separate solutions dissolved in a solvent, respectively, and may be injected at a constant rate through a pump, respectively.

The pump may preferably be a syringe pump.

The manufacturing method of the present invention is characterized in that the reactant solution is introduced into the reactor in the form of inert gas/reactant solution/inert gas.

The manufacturing method of the present invention is a continuous flow reaction process in which a series of processes of input of raw materials, polymerization reaction, and discharge of a product are continuously performed, and is carried out in an inert gas environment. Specifically, the polymerization reaction is carried out in an inert gas environment.

The inert gas environment means that the gas inside the reactor in which the polymerization reaction takes place consists only of the inert gas. For example, the inert gas may be nitrogen or argon.

When an inert gas environment is stably formed in the continuous flow reaction process, side reactions can be suppressed in the process of synthesizing the conductive polymer and deterioration of the reactivity of the catalyst can be prevented.

In the present invention, the reactant solution is introduced into the reactor in the form of being surrounded by an inert gas layer. The form into which the reactant solution is added includes the form of inert gas/reactant solution/inert gas, specifically, solvent/inert gas/reactant solution/inert gas/solvent, solvent/inert gas/reactant solution/inert gas, inert gas /reactant solution/inert gas/solvent or inert gas/reactant solution/inert gas.

The inert gas/reactant solution/inert gas in the form in which the reactant solution is added may be formed in the steady-state formation section.

The “steady-state formation section” refers to a section allowing the inert gas layer to be stably formed before being put into the reactor. In addition, the corresponding section may serve to allow the reactant solution to reach a steady state before input to the reactor.

Preferably, the steady-state forming section may have a volume of 10 mL to 1000 mL.

1 schematically shows an example of a conductive polymer manufacturing process according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the inert gas layer is formed in the steady-state formation section before the reactant solution is introduced into the reactor, and when the formation of the inert gas layer is completed, the inert gas layer is injected into the reactor through a pump.

The rate at which the monomer and catalyst, which are raw materials, are introduced into the reactor can be determined according to the structure of the reactor, the amount of production, the type of reaction, and the like.

When using separate monomer solutions and catalyst solutions in which a monomer and a catalyst are respectively dissolved in a solvent, the rate at which the reactant solution is introduced may be 0.05 ml/min to 5 ml/min, preferably 0.1 ml/min to 1 ml/min.

An input rate ratio of the monomer solution and the catalyst solution may be 1:1 to 1:4.

The temperature in the reactor for the polymerization may be preferably adjusted to a temperature of 60 °C to 140 °C, preferably 80 °C to 130 °C.

The pressure in the reactor may be adjusted to 1 bar to 10 bar, preferably 1 bar to 5 bar.

When the reaction is carried out at a pressure higher than normal pressure as described above, the boiling point of the solvent rises, and eventually the solvent can be heated at a temperature higher than the boiling point.

The manufacturing method of the present invention includes discharging the product from the reactor at a constant rate while the polymerization reaction is in progress.

The production method of the present invention is a continuous flow reaction process in which a series of processes of input of raw materials, polymerization reaction, and discharge of the product are continuously performed. , it is a step of discharging the conductive polymer product generated by the polymerization reaction from the reactor at a constant rate.

The sum of the amount of the reactant solution input to the reactor per unit time may be the same as the amount of the product discharged from the reactor per unit time. Thereby, it is possible to keep the reaction amount constant in the reactor.

The method may further include the step of receiving the product discharged from the reactor directly in a container containing a methanol solution and precipitating it.

The above step is a step to obtain a polymer product by allowing the polymer to precipitate in a solution in which the conductive polymer produced by the polymerization reaction is dissolved and filtering it.

Figure 2 schematically shows the design of the conductive polymer manufacturing process according to an embodiment of the present invention. In addition, Figure 3 shows a design diagram of a chamber according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2 and 3, the methanol container for accommodating the product may be located in a chamber manufactured to withstand pressure.

The chamber is a vessel designed to withstand pressure, and may include a valve capable of passing or blocking gas. Preferably, a ball valve may be used, and the pressure may be maintained without gas leaking when the valve is closed.

The chamber may prevent overpressure by additionally connecting a back pressure regular (BPR) or a pressure relief valve (PRV). At this time, when a certain pressure is exceeded, the valve may open and the gas may escape.

The continuous flow reaction process has a fast reaction time, and since the reactants are dispersed in a small amount, it is easy to obtain data on the reactivity, and it is possible to observe the reactivity of each monomer in the input material based on the reactivity.

One or more reactors may be provided, and a product discharged from one reactor may be transferred as a raw material for the next reactor to be connected to each other to perform a continuous reaction.

The reaction may proceed by continuously introducing the product discharged from the reactor into another reactor connected in series to the reactor. That is, the product discharged from the reactor may be continuously introduced into an additional reactor serially connected to the reactor to further advance the reaction in-situ. In this case, in-situ means that the second reaction proceeds immediately in a heated state after the first reaction.

The reactor may be configured to simultaneously perform the same polymerization reaction by further including one or more reactors connected in parallel. For example, if the number of reactors manufactured for the same synthesis is increased by n times and connected in parallel, the amount of product per unit time increases by n times, and the production time required to produce the same amount is reduced by 1/n do. That is, by simply increasing the reactor module, the output can be increased as much as desired without other peripheral equipment. Because of the multi-injection of raw materials, local heating generated during the reaction in a large batch reactor can be avoided.

According to the present invention, by forming the inert gas layer in the continuous flow reaction process, there is an effect that the conductive polymer can be synthesized through the continuous flow reaction process. Therefore, unlike the existing batch reaction, it is possible to create a constant environment because it is easy to control the reaction conditions, and it is possible to synthesize a certain product by inputting the reaction raw material at a certain ratio, so that a conductive polymer can be synthesized reproducibly, and a large amount of the conductive polymer can be synthesized. In the case of product production of

In addition, by increasing the reaction yield, it is possible to reduce the amount of monomers and catalysts, which are raw materials for manufacturing the conductive polymer, and there is an effect of shortening the reaction time. Furthermore, since mass production is possible in a small space, it is possible to increase production without additional equipment.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail through Examples and Experimental Examples with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5 . The scope of the present invention is not limited to specific examples and experimental examples, and should be construed according to the appended claims. In addition, those skilled in the art should understand that many modifications and variations are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention.

Also, FIG. 3 is an image of a design of a chamber according to an embodiment of the present invention. However, the continuous flow reaction process designed in FIG. 2 and the chamber of FIG. 3 are intended to illustrate the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

<Example 1>

Prepare the reactant solution

Monomer A (34.8 mg, 0.03 mmol), monomer B (14.2 mg, 0.03 mmol), 0.8 mL of toluene and 0.2 mL of dimethylformamide were prepared in a vial. And in another vial, tetrakis (triphenylphosphine) palladium (0) catalyst (Pd(PPh ₃ ) ₄ ) (1.4 m, 4 mol%), 0.8 mL of toluene and 0.2 mL of dimethylformamide were added to prepare. After that, each vial was sealed, vacuum was made, and the process of filling nitrogen was repeated 3 times to form the inside of the vial in a nitrogen atmosphere. Thereafter, nitrogen bubbling was performed for 3 minutes to prepare a monomer solution and a catalyst solution.

Reactor preparation

After the reactor was flushed with toluene, the valve of the chamber was closed, and the reaction system was formed in a nitrogen environment. At this time, the inside of the reactor was set to a target pressure of 40 psi by controlling the regulator while injecting nitrogen. Using a reaction temperature controller, the temperature of the reactor was gradually raised to 120 °C and then maintained constant.

Formation of an inert gas layer

As shown in FIG. 2, the opening and closing and the path were controlled so that the fluid was injected using the valve as follows. After extracting the prepared monomer solution and catalyst solution with a gastite syringe, they were connected to syringe pump 2 and syringe pump 3 (see FIG. 2 ), respectively. The monomer and catalyst solution were injected in a mixed state while passing through the mixing passage. Nitrogen was previously filled in the path connected between the mixing flow path and the steady-state formation section, so that the reactant solution was injected and an interface between the nitrogen and the reactant solution was formed at the same time. After injection of the reactant solution was completed, a gastite syringe containing toluene was connected to syringe pump 1. At this time, a nitrogen layer was formed between the back of the injected reactant solution and the injected toluene solvent in the process of injecting the solvent by filling the connection path to syringe pump 1 with nitrogen in advance.

In the steady state formation section, the form of nitrogen layer/reactant solution/nitrogen layer/toluene was stably formed before injection into the reactor.

Polymerization and Purification

The reactant solution was injected into a high-temperature reactor at a rate of 0.275 ml/min, and moved while polymerization was carried out in the reactor for 3 minutes, and the product was discharged from the reactor after a set time elapsed. The conductive polymer generated by polymerization in the reactor was discharged per unit time in an amount equal to the sum of the raw materials input per unit time. The introduction of the reactant solution and the discharge of the product were continuously performed at a constant rate. The polymer solution was introduced into the methanol solution in the chamber and precipitated.

Thereafter, the resulting precipitate was collected, purified, and dried under vacuum to obtain a conductive polymer.

<reaction formula>

The above reaction formula is an example of the conductive polymer polymerization reaction of the present invention, and corresponds to the polymerization reaction according to the embodiment of the present invention.

<Example 2>

It was carried out under the same conditions and methods as in Example 1, except that the temperature of the reactor in Example 1 was 110 °C.

<Example 3>

It was carried out under the same conditions and methods as in Example 1, except that the temperature of the reactor in Example 1 was 130 °C.

<Experimental Example 1>

In order to confirm the reproducibility of the present invention, the following experiment was performed on the polymer precipitate prepared in Example 1. After repeating Example 1 5 times, the average molecular weight and polydispersity of the samples obtained in each run were measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The results are shown in Table 1 and FIG. 4 .

<Table 1>

Referring to Table 1 and FIG. 4, when Example 1 was repeated under the same conditions, the average molecular weights of the polymers prepared by the five runs showed only a difference of about ±900 Da and were almost identical. The polydispersity was also close to 1.88 to 2.02. Accordingly, the average molecular weight and dispersion of the prepared polymers were almost the same, indicating that the manufacturing method of the present invention is a reproducible method.

<Experimental Example 2>

In order to confirm the change in the physical properties of the product according to the reaction conditions, the polymer precipitates prepared in Examples 1 to 3 were subjected to the following experiments.

The average molecular weight and polydispersity of the samples obtained in Examples 1 to 3 were measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The results are shown in Table 2 and FIG. 5 .

<Table 2>

According to Table 2 and FIG. 5, in the case of Examples 1 to 3 in which the reaction temperature was changed, the average molecular weight and polydispersity of the resulting polymer according to the change in temperature condition were in the order of Example 2, Example 1, and Example 3, respectively. 4.7, 36, 57.9 kDa and 6.36, 1.94, and 2.35 were confirmed to be greatly changed, thereby confirming that the preparation method of the present invention is easy to control the physical properties of the product by changing the reaction conditions.

In addition, unlike the present invention, in the case of using a solvent layer/reactant solution/solvent layer without an inert gas layer in the related prior art, diffusion occurs faster when the reaction temperature is increased, and the concentration of the reactant is lowered. Rather, there is a study result that the molecular weight does not increase (Non-Patent Document 0001). In comparison, in the case of the example of the present invention, as the nitrogen layer is between the solvent and the reactant solution, according to Table 2, it was confirmed that the molecular weight increased with the increase of the temperature. This is expected because there is a nitrogen layer (inert gas layer) between the solvent layer and the reactant solution, and the nitrogen layer also serves to prevent diffusion of the reactant solution into the solvent.
