摘要
Two novel copolymers containing an asymmetric 4-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-8-(2-ethylhexylthio)benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene and different conjugated side groups were designed and synthesized for polymer solar cell applications. The thermal, optical, and electrochemical properties were investigated by thermal gravimetric analysis, UV Vis absorption, and cyclic voltammetry, respectively. The two copolymers showed a good thermal stability and solubility in common organic solvents, and relatively deep highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy levels with the values of 5.56 eV for 5,6-difluoro-benzodiathiazole-based copolymer and 5.48 eV for isoindigo-based copolymer. The polymer photovoltaic devices based on 5,6-difluoro-benzodiathiazole-based polymer/phenyl-C-71-butyric acid methyl ester exhibited a high open circuit voltage (V-oc) of 0.92 V and the power conversion efficiency of 5.0%.
