| Abstract: | Currently, photothermal (PT) polymers are gaining increasing attention in water evaporation, photocatalysis and photothermal therapy. However, high-performance PT polymers often require conjugated backbones and/or large fused units, which can impede non-radiative decay and lead to suboptimal PT performance. The development of general strategies for preparing high-performance PT polymers remains a significant challenge. In this paper, the high-performance donor–acceptor (D–A) random copolymers, named PBT4T-BBT-x (x = 0, 5, 10, 20 and 100), were fabricated by cross-mixing bithiophene donors with benzothiadiazole (BT) and benzodithiadiazole (BBT) acceptors. Notably, when the ratios of BT and BBT are finely tuned, the polymers exhibit significantly controllable open-shell radical effects and twisted intermolecular charge transfer (TICT) states. The synergistic effects of radicals and TICT states notably enhanced the PT performance of random copolymers. Specifically, when the proper ratios of BBT units are used, the photothermal conversion efficiency (PTCE) is remarkably increased from 21.7% to 58.5%, and the PT temperature obviously increases from 150 °C to 232 °C under 808 nm laser irradiation. Furthermore, the random copolymers exhibit good water evaporation rates. We propose that this strategy provides a valuable synthesis pathway for generating high-performance photothermal therapy and water evaporation materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
