Fund Project:

One of the important prerequisites of large-area production is that the power conversion efficiency of polymer solar cells is insensitive to the active layer thickness. A novel donor-acceptor copolymer, named poly[N-(2-hexyldecyl)-2,2'-bithiophene-3,3'-dicarboximide-alt-5,5-(2,5-bis(3-(decyloxy)thiophene-2-yl)-thiophene)](PBTI3T-O),with a moderate band gap has been designed and synthesized. PBTI3T-O shows a broad absorption range of 400~720 nm and good solubility in chlorobenzene(CB). The hole mobility of PBTI3T-O and[6,6]-phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester(PC₇₁BM) blend is 5.90×10^-3 cm²/(V·s), which is higher than those of most other materials. The excellent charge transport property leads to a power conversion efficiency of 5.56% with a thick active layer of 237 nm. Furthermore, PBTI3T-O based device retains 97% of the highest efficiency with a thickness of ca. 300 nm, indicating its potential application in large-area production.
