Enhanced power conversion efficiencies in bulk heterojunction solar cells based on conjugated polymer with isoindigo side chain

Abstract

A novel conjugated side-chain polymer (PBDT-TID), based on benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene (BDT) and isoindigo (ID) moieties, was designed and synthesized. The new polymer exhibited excellent microphase separation in active layers. Bulk heterojunction polymer solar cells fabricated from PBDT-TID and PC61BM showed promising power conversion efficiencies of 5.25% and 6.51% using conventional and inverted device structures, respectively.
