Abstract

Here we report a polymeric semiconductor (ODATT) comprising alkoxy anthracene (ODA) and thienothiophene (TT) polymerized by stille coupling reaction with the Pd catalyst. The optical properties of the polymer: PC71BM blend films are used by the UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy. The ODATT blends with PC71BM exhibit a maximal power conversion efficiency of 2.2% via thermal annealing treatment. Morphological analysis of the polymer: PC71BM blend films demonstrate the influence of ODATT polymer segregation on device performance by atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. We confirmed that ODATT has enhanced fill factor after thermal annealing treatment from the reduced series and shunt resistance from morphological enhancement.
