D-A Copolymers Based on a Pentacyclic Acceptor Unit and a 3,3′-Difluoro-2,2′-bithiophene for Solar Cells

A D-A copolymer, P2FBTTPTI, was developed by copolymerizing a pentacyclic acceptor unit, thieno2′,3′:5,6]pyrido3,4-g]thieno3,2-c]isoquinoline-5,11(4 H,10 H)-dione(TPTI), with 3,3′-difluoro-2,2′-bithiophene(2 FBT). P2 FBTTPTI possessed a low highest occupied molecular orbital(HOMO) energy level(-5.50 e V) and a good hole mobility(4.14 × 10~(-4) cm~2·V~(-1)·s~(-1)). P2FBTTPTI:PC_(71)BM solar cells gave a decent power conversion efficiency(PCE) of 7.64% and a high open-circuit voltage(V_(oc)) of 0.95 V.
