Random benzotrithiophene-based donor-acceptor copolymers for efficient organic photovoltaic devices.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A series of benzotrithiophene-containing random terpolymers for polymer solar cells is reported. Through variations of the two other components in the terpolymers, the absorption profile and the frontier energy levels are optimized and maximum power conversion efficiencies are nearly doubled (5.14%) relative to the parent alternating copolymer.

Conjugated block copolymer photovoltaics with near 3% efficiency through microphase separation.
Organic electronic materials have the potential to impact almost every aspect of modern life including how we access information, light our homes, and power personal electronics. Nevertheless, weak intermolecular interactions and disorder at junctions of different organic materials limit the performance and stability of organic interfaces and hence the applicability of organic semiconductors to...
متن کاملDevelopment of donor–acceptor copolymers based on dioxocycloalkene-annelated thiophenes as acceptor units for organic photovoltaic materials
Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have attracted considerable attention over the past two decades not only because of their potential for generating renewable energy but also because of their favorable properties, such as low cost, low weight, solution processability and large-area manufacturability. The active layer of OPVs is based on the concept of the bulk-heterojunction configuration, which com...
متن کاملThe synthesis and purification of amphiphilic conjugated donoracceptor block copolymers
Nanoscale domains of donor and acceptor materials are crucial for charge generation in organic photovoltaic devices. These domains are difficult to achieve reproducibly in blended materials, but could be engineered into single-material active layers composed of donor–acceptor block copolymers (BCPs). In this work, we report the synthesis and purification of two novel fully conjugated BCPs, P3HT...
متن کاملConjugated alternating copolymers containing both donor and acceptor moieties in the main chain.
A straightforward synthesis toward two conjugated alternating copolymers consisting of 2,7-linked carbazole donor (2,7-Cz) and ladderized pentaphenylene with diketone bridge (LPPK) acceptor chromophores is reported: the copolymers differ by the repeat unit ratio between the 2,7-Cz and LPPK units within the backbone; energy and charge transfer properties and supramolecular organizations of donor...
متن کاملBenzotrithiophene--a planar, electron-rich building block for organic semiconductors.
Several functionalized benzo[1,2-b:3,4-b':5,6-d'']trithiophenes have been synthesized and characterized. The fully planar and highly electron-rich material shows great promise as the donor constituent in donor-acceptor type copolymers for use in organic electronics. As a proof of concept, a copolymer with the electron acceptor, 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole, has been prepared. Side-chain modifications...
