چکیده
We report high photovoltaic performance of a novel donor-acceptor (D-A) conjugated polymer poly[2,6[4,8-bis(2-ethyl-hexyl)benzo[1,2-b;4,5-b']dithiophene-co-2,5-thiophene-co-4,7[5,6-bis-octyloxy-benzo[1,2,5]thiadiazole]-co-2,5-thiophene] (PBDTTBTZT) in bulk heterojunctions with [6,6]-phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester (PC70BM). A power conversion efficiency (PCE) of more than 7% is obtained for optimized charge-extracting electrodes. Upon application of thermal stress via annealing, a superior thermal stability is demonstrated as compared to poly[N-9″-hepta-decanyl-2,7-carbazole-alt-5,5-(4',7'-di-2-thienyl-2',1',3'-benzothiadiazole)] (PCDTBT).

Novel Organic and Polymeric Materials for Solar Energy Conversions ¬リニ
Organic or ‘plastic’ solar cells are attractive for solar photoelectric energy conversion applications where low cost (such as large area), lightweight, and flexible shape are desired. The photoelectric power conversion efficiencies of currently reported organic/polymeric photovoltaic materials are still relatively low (typically less than 10% under AM 1.5 and one Sun intensity), and the three ...
متن کاملThe Influence of Conjugated Polymer Side Chain Manipulation on the Efficiency and Stability of Polymer Solar Cells
The stability of polymer solar cells (PSCs) can be influenced by the introduction of particular moieties on the conjugated polymer side chains. In this study, two series of donor-acceptor copolymers, based on bis(thienyl)dialkoxybenzene donor and benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole (BT) or thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole (TzTz) acceptor units, were selected toward effective device scalability by roll-coating. T...
متن کاملSynthesis of D–A polymers with a disilanobithiophene donor and a pyridine or pyrazine acceptor and their applications to dye-sensitized solar cells
New donor–acceptor polymers containing disilanobithiophene (DSBT) as the donor and pyridine or pyrazine as the acceptor with or without a thiophene spacer were prepared. The polymers showed UV-vis absorption maxima at lmax 1⁄4 488–526 nm, which were red-shifted relative to those of model monomers dithienylpyridine and dithienylpyrazine (lmax 1⁄4 352–375 nm), indicating the efficient conjugation...
متن کاملA lactam building block for efficient polymer solar cells.
A new lactam acceptor unit, [7,7'-bidithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]pyridine]-5,5'(4H,4'H)-dione (BDTP), was developed. A D-A copolymer PThBDTP using BDTP as the acceptor unit and thiophene as the donor unit was synthesized. PThBDTP:PC71BM solar cells gave a decent PCE of 9.13% with a V(oc) of 0.96 V. PThBDTP is one of the few D-A copolymers with PCEs of over 9%.
متن کاملSynthesis of thienoselenadiazole-containing conjugated copolymers and their application in polymer solar cells
INTRODUCTION In recent years, polymer solar cells (PSCs) have attracted great attention due to the energy crisis all over the world. Compared with inorganic solar cells, PSCs have many advantages, such as light weight, solution processability, mechanical flexibility and low cost.1 The stateof-the-art of PSCs are based on a fullerene-derivative acceptor, such as [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid met...
