Аннотация:Two new conjugated D–A polymers P3 (PBTT-d-BTT) and P4 (PBTT-d-TPD) based on same
benzo[1,2-b:3,4-b':6,5-b'']trithiophene (BTT) donor and different acceptors monomers
5,8-dibromo-2-dodecanoylbenzo[1,2-b:3,4-b':6,5-b'']trithiophene (d-BTT), and 1,3-dibromo-
5-(2-ethylhexyl)thieno[3,4]pyrrol-4,6-dione (d-TPD) respectively, were synthesized by
Stille cross-coupling reaction and characterized by gel permeation chromatography
(GPC), 1H NMR, UV–Vis absorption, thermal analysis and electrochemical cyclic voltammetry
(CV) tests. Photovoltaic properties of the polymers were studied by using the polymers
as donor and PC71BM as acceptor with a weight ratio of polymer:PC71BM 1:1, 1:2 and 1:2.5.
The optimized photovoltaic device was fabricated with an active layer of a blend P3:PC71BM
and P4:PC71BM with a blend ratio of 1:2 showed PCE 3.16% and 2.42%, respectively under
illumination of AM 1.5 at 100 mW/cm2 with solar simulator. The PCE of the device based
on P3:PC71BM processed with DIO/o-DCB has been further improved up to 4.64% with Jsc
of 10.52 mA/cm2 and FF of 0.58 attributed to the increase in crystalline nature of active layer
and more balanced charge transport in the device, induced by DIO additive.
