摘要
The synthesis and characterization of a soluble high molecular weight copolymer based on 4,8-bis(1-pentylhexyloxy)benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene and 2,1,3-benzoxadiazole is presented. High efficiency organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices comprised of this polymer and phenyl-C-71-butyric acid methyl ester (PC71BM) were fabricated by additive processing with 1-chloronapthalene (CN). When the active layer is cast from pristine chlorobenzene (CB), power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) average 1.41%. Our best condition - using 2% chloronapthalene as a solvent additive in CB - results in an average PCE of 5.65%, with a champion efficiency of 6.05%.
