Abstract

An electron-transport polymer with good solution processibility, excellent thermal stability, and high electron affinity based on alternating perylene diimide and dithienothiophene units has been synthesized. Electron mobilities as high as 1.3 × 10-2 cm2 V-1 s-1 have been measured in field-effect transistor geometry. The polymer shows broad absorptions throughout the visible and extending into the near-IR. A power conversion efficiency of over 1%, under simulated AM 1.5, 100 mW/cm2, was measured for a single-layer solar cell using this polymer as an acceptor and a polythiophene derivative as a donor.
