Biological applications of fluorescent probes are rapidly increasing in the supramolecular chemistry research field. Several organic dyes being utilized currently developing and advancing this attractive area, which diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) show an exceptional photophysical features (high-fluorescence quantum yield (FQY), good photochemical thermal stability) that essential properties for bio...

A new building block for low band-gap polymers, diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) flanked by pyridine (PyDPP), has been synthesized via a simple synthetic route. PyDPP was polymerized with bithiophene (BT) to afford a low band-gap copolymer (PBTPyDPP) which was used as an electron donor of the active layer in polymer solar cells. The solar cell device based on PBTPyDPP exhibited a promising PCE of 4.9...

Developing new acceptor materials as alternatives to fullerene acceptors remains a challenge in the field of organic photovoltaics. We report on the synthesis and optoelectronic properties of three acceptor polymers bearing diketopyrrolopyrrole units in the main chain (PA, PB and PC). Their performance as the acceptor material in bulk heterojunction solar cells using P3HT as the donor material ...

High power conversion efficiency (PCE) inverted organic photovoltaics (OPVs) usually use thermally evaporated MoO3 as a hole transporting layer (HTL). Despite the high PCE values reported, stability investigations are still limited and the exact degradation mechanisms of inverted OPVs using thermally evaporated MoO3 HTL remain unclear under different environmental stress factors. In this study,...

A power conversion efficiency of 9.02% is obtained for a fully solution-processed polymer tandem solar cell, based on the diketopyrrolopyrrole unit polymer as a low bandgap photoactive material in the rear subcell, in conjunction with a new robust interconnecting layer. This interconnecting layer is optically transparent, electrically conductive, and physically strong, thus, the charges can be ...

We show that the method we have developed for measuring the singlet exciton diffusion length in blends with [6,6]-phenyl-C(61)-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) can be applied not only to polymeric materials, but also to small molecule organic semiconductors. Small organic molecules have a large potential for molecular re-organization upon thermal annealing. Here we show that the exciton diffusi...
