Abstract
New donor/acceptor polymers PBDTTPT1 and PBDTTPT2 with alternating benzodithiophene (BDT) and bisthiophene-dioxopyrrolothiophene (TPT) units were synthesized by Stille coupling reaction. The polymers had optical bandgaps of 1.78 and 1.82 eV, and HOMO energy levels of −5.30 and −5.35 eV for PBDTTPT1 and PBDTTPT2, respectively. Polymeric solar cell devices based on these copolymers as donors and PC71BM as acceptor showed the highest open circuit voltage of 0.95 V and power conversion efficiency of 2.68% under the illumination of AM 1.5, 100 mW/cm2.
