چکیده
The introduction of a low band-gap oligomer, oligo(benzo[1,2,5]thiadiazole-alt-3,3'''-dihexylquaterthiophene) (BT4T) improved the performance of P3HT:PCBM bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaic cells due to improved UV-vis absorption and increased P3HT crystallinity.

In this study, we fabricated organic photovoltaics (OPVs) by introducing the polymer additive HTh6BT into the photoactive layer of a poly(3-hexylthiophene):phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT:PCBM) system. The HTh6BT had a relatively low band gap energy of 1.65 eV and a molecular and crystalline structure similar to that of P3HT. In the photoactive layer, the HTh6BT and P3HT can both act...
