چکیده

Two newly synthesized naphthodithiophene-based copolymers, PNB, exhibit a low optical bandgap of ∼1.64 eV with which the solar cells fabricated from the blend of PNB and PC(71)BM afforded a power conversion efficiency of 5.3% with external quantum efficiency over 60% in a broad spectral range.

High Efficiencies in Nanoscale Poly(3-‎Hexylthiophene)/Fullerene Solar Cells

   A modified morphology was introduced for poly(3-hexylthiophene):phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT:PC71BM) bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells by thermal and solvent annealing treatments in the presence of hydrophilic-hydrophobic block copolymers. Power conversion efficiency (PCE) plummet was prohibited during both thermal and solvent treatments for all BHJ devices modified wit...

Small band gap polymers synthesized via a modified nitration of 4,7-dibromo-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole.

The nitration of 4,7-dibromo-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole was modified by using CF(3)SO(3)H and HNO(3) as the nitrating agent, and the related yield was improved greatly. On the basis of this improvement, two new small band gap polymers, P1TPQ and P3TPQ, were developed. Bulk heterojunction solar cells based on P3TPQ and [6,6]-phenyl-C(71)-butyric acid methyl ester exhibit interesting results with a p...

Regioregular copolymers of 3-alkoxythiophene and their photovoltaic application.

Low band gap conjugated polymers with proper energy levels for charge transfer are required to achieve high-efficiency polymer solar cells. We report the synthesis and characterization of two new regioregular copolymers that are based on 3-alkoxythiophene monomers: poly(3-octylthiophene-2,5-diyl-co-3-decyloxythiophene-2,5-diyl) (POT-co-DOT) and poly{(9,9-dioctylfluorene)-2,7-diyl-alt-[4,7-bis(3...

Development of novel conjugated donor polymers for high-efficiency bulk-heterojunction photovoltaic devices.

Solar cells are one attractive method for harnessing inexhaustible clean energy from the sun. Organic photovoltaic technology is emerging as a potential competitor to silicon-based photovoltaic cells (PVCs), and their power conversion efficiencies (PCE) can now exceed 6%. Polymeric bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) PVCs, whose photoactive layer is composed of a blend of bicontinuous and interpenetratin...
