摘要
Mind the gap! Polymers synthesized by replacing the benzene unit in the acceptor 4,7-dithien-2-yl-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (DTBT) with a π-electron-deficient pyridine unit (DTPyT) show a smaller bandgap than their DTBT counterparts. Power conversion efficiencies of over 6% are demonstrated in solar cell studies (see picture; PNDT, PQDT, and PBnDT represent dithiophene derivatives as weak donors). © 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
