Abstract

A series of low-band gap of P-type conjugated polymers via Stille coupling reactions. The main chain is selected containing alkyl-substituted conjugated thiophene and fluorene, and side chain import electron- withdrawing group Dibenzo[d]thiazol 2-ylmethane(DBT). Comparative conjugated different stability differences between the thiophene and fluorene. All polymers exhibited good solubility in common organic solvents, and have good thermal stability. A red-shift of UV-vis absorption band was observed for the polythiophene, and successfully control the HOMO energy levels within the ideal range(-5.2 ~ -5.8 eV). Further conjugated thiophene series of polymer prepared cis and trans device structure of solar cells. In the photovoltaic properties of the open-circuit voltage(Voc)is between 0.41 ~ 0.76 V, short-circuit current (Jsc)is between 2.86 ~ 7.67 mA/cm2, fill factor(FF)is between 0.29 ~ 0.35. Wherein the conjugated polymer PTDBT/PC71BM(w/w = 1/2.5)via 100℃ annealing, the prepared solar cells having the best performance was achieved in the following: a photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) of 1.55%, a Voc of 0.67 V, Jsc of 7.67 mA/cm2, and a FF of 0.3 under illumination of AM 1.5, 100 mW/cm2.
