Polymer solar cells fabricated with 4,8-bis(2-ethylhexyloxy)benzo[1,2-b:4, 5-b′]dithiophene and alkyl-substituted thiophene-3-carboxylate-containing conjugated polymers: Effect of alkyl side-chain in thiophene-3-carboxylate monomer on the device performance

Four alkyl-substituted thiophene-3-carboxylate containing donor-acceptor (D-A) copolymers were designed, synthesized, and characterized. Thiophene-3-carboxylate was used as a weak electron acceptor unit in the copolymers to provide a deeper highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level for obtaining a higher open-circuit voltage in polymer solar cells (PSCs). The resulting bulk heterojunction PSCs, made of the copolymers and [6,6]-phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester (PC71BM), exhibited different short circuit currents (JSCs) and open-circuit voltages (VOCs), depending on the length of alkyl side-chain in the thiophene-3-carboxylate unit. Among all fabricated photovoltaic (PV) devices, PC2:PC71BM (1:1 wt. ratio) showed the highest efficiency with the highest JSC of 10.5 mA/cm2. Although PC5:PC71BM (1:1) displayed the highest VOC of 0.93 V, the device efficiency was observed to be poor, which is due to poor nanophase segregation. This comparison shows that the side-chain of thiophene carboxylate in these copolymers plays a very important role in the device efficiency.

, (2021/12/17)
The present disclosure provides for the development and applications of monomeric, oligomeric and/or polymeric semiconductor materials comprising a five-membered heteroaromatic unit (e.g., thiophene; furan; selenophene; etc.) that includes an acrylyl or an acrylyl-like (—C═C—CO—) side chain. The semiconductor materials can be used as organic semiconductors for use in electronic, optical, or optoelectronic devices such as organic thin film transistors and organic photovoltaics. The disclosed semiconductor materials (e.g., semiconducting polymer compounds) can be used as high performance semiconductors (e.g., for organic solar cells or organic photovoltaics (OPVs)), and the disclosed semiconductor materials can be used for other devices (e.g., organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) and sensors, etc.).
