摘要
We report the synthesis and characterization of novel 1,3,4-thiadiazole (TDz)-containing pi-conjugated alternating copolymers with donor units, such as thiophene (PTDzTh), selenophene (PTDzSe), thieno[3,4-b]thiophene (PTDzTT), 3,3'-didodecyl-2,2'-bithiophene (PTDzBTh) and (E)-1,2-di-(3-dodecylthiophene)vinylene (PTDzTV). The TDz-containing polymers show deep highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy levels at approximately -5.50 to -5.20 eV due to the electron deficiency of the TDz unit. In addition, PTDzTV shows a relatively extended absorption wavelength (lambda(onset)=629 nm). The microstructures of the film state are primarily influenced by the interdigitation of the side chains, and PTDzTT with a rigid backbone forms a densely packed crystalline structure, as evidenced by grazing incident wide-angle X-ray scattering experiments. Polymer solar cells using the TDz polymers showed high open-circuit voltages up to 0.965 V based on the deep HOMO energy levels, and PTDzTV showed the highest power conversion efficiency of 0.529% among the polymers.
