Statistical carbazole–fluorene–TTBTBTT terpolymers as promising electron donor materials for organic solar cells†
Abstract
We report the application of a statistical Suzuki–Miyaura polycondensation reaction for synthesis of a family of carbazole–fluorene–TTBTBTT terpolymers with tailored physical and optoelectronic properties. Organic bulk heterojunction solar cells based on the designed materials with optimal fluorene to carbazole ratios yielded reproducible power conversion efficiencies of 6.5–6.7%.
