摘要
Two-dimensional low band-gap copolymers of P1 and P2 with a framework of (2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl) thieno[3,2-b]thiophene)-alt-(2,5-bis(2-ethylhexyl)-3,6-di(thiophen-2-yl)pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4( 2H,5H)-dione) (DTTT-alt-DTPP) were synthesized, in which two 2,3-dioctylthiophene-5-yl groups were pended into the 3-positions of two thiophenyl rings close to the thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (TT) unit for P1 and the 3, 6-positions of the TT unit for P2, respectively. The influence of pending positions on optophysical and photovoltaic properties were studied. Similar broad absorption spectra from 350 to 950 nm were observed with a low band-gap of 1.25 eV. However, significantly different photovoltaic properties were obtained in the bulk heterojunction polymer solar cells with a device structure of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/active layer/LiF/Al. The P1-based devices showed a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 0.79%, but the P2-based devices displayed a notably increasing PCE up to 2.12% under an AM 1.5G irradiation with an intensity of 100 mW cm(-2). Our results indicate that altering pendent position of alkyl thiophene is effective way to improve the photovoltaic properties for the two-dimensional copolymers. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
