Three donor-acceptor (D-A) alternating conjugated polymers with silafluorene as the donor unit, 5-alkyloxy-6-fluorobenzothiadiazole as the acceptor unit, and thiophene as the spacer has been synthesized and used as donor materials for polymer solar cells (PSCs). The introduction of a fluorine atom on the benzothiadiazole unit can lower the HOMO and LUMO energy level of the resulted polymers to afford higher open circuit voltage (Voc); whereas the introduction of a flexible alkyloxy chain on benzothiadiazole unit can increase the solubility of the resulted polymers without interfering the close packing of polymer chains in the solid state. High molecular weight polymers P-1a, P-1b, and P-1c, which are fully soluble in 1,2-dichorobenzene (DCB) at elevated temperature, have been prepared by Suzuki polycondensation. Among these polymers, P-1c exhibited the highest hole mobility up to 1.36 × 10-2 cm2 V-1 s-1. PSCs based P-1b:PC71BM demonstrated the highest Voc up to 0.98 V. P-1a:PC71BM based PSCs gave the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 6.41%, which is the highest value among solar cells with benzothiadiazole- and silafluorene-containing polymers as the donor material.

To achieve 5,6-difluorobenzothiadiazole and 2,7-linked silafluorene based soluble conjugated polymers, flexible side chains were attached at different positions of the conjugated polymers. Three soluble polymers PSiF-D(OT)DFBT, PSiF-TTDFBT, and PDOSiF-DTDFBT were prepared and used as donor materials for polymer solar cells. PSiF-D(OT)DFBT exhibits a band gap of 2.06 eV with a deep HOMO of -5.64 eV. PSiF-TTDFBT shows a band gap of 1.75 eV with the HOMO of -5.23 eV. PDOSiF-DTDFBT is of a band gap of 1.86 eV with the HOMO level of -5.37 eV. Among these three polymers, PDOSiF-DTDFBT shows the highest field effect transistor (FET) hole mobility up to 3.31 × 10-2 cm2 V-1 s-1, PDOSiF-DTDFBT:PC71BM blend films show the highest SCLC mobility up to 5.10 × 10-4 cm2 V-1 s-1, and polymer solar cells (PSCs) with the blend of PDOSiF-DTDFBT:PC71BM (1:1, by weight) as the active layer gave a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 4.03% with an open circuit voltage (V oc) of 0.73 V, a short circuit current (Jsc) of 8.55 mA cm-2, and a fill factor (FF) of 0.65. Our studies also reveal the structure-property relationship of 2,7-linked silafluorene and 5,6-difluorobenzothiadiazole based conjugated polymers.

Thanks to their many favorable advantages, polymer solar cells exhibit great potential for next-generation clean energy sources. Herein, we have successfully designed and synthesized a series of new fluorinated benzothiadiazole-based conjugated copolymers PBDTTEH-DT HBTff (P1), PBDTTEH-DTEHBTff (P2), and PBDTHDO-DTHBTff (P3). The power conversion efficiencies of 4.46, 6.20, and 8.30% were achieved for P1-, P2-, and P3-based devices within ~100 nm thickness active layers under AM 1.5G illumination without any processing additives or post-treatments, respectively. The PCE of 8.30% for P3 is the highest value for the reported traditional single-junction polymer solar cells via a simple fabrication architecture without any additives or post-treatments. In addition, it is noteworthy that P3 also allows making high efficient polymer solar cells with high PCEs of 7.27 and 6.56% under the same condition for ~200 and ~300 nm thickness active layers, respectively. Excellent photoelectric properties and good solubility make polymer P3 become an alternative material for high-performance polymer solar cells.

High-powered polymer: Fluorinated benzothiadiazole was incorporated into a polymer that was used in a high-performance solar cell. The model polymer 2 has decreased HOMO and LUMO energy levels and a similar band gap when compared with its nonfluorinated analogue 1. A bulk heterojunction device derived from 1 demonstrated a high power conversion efficiency of 7.2% (5.0% for 1). (Chemical Equation Presented).
