Low band gap benzothiophene–thienothiophene copolymers with conjugated alkylthiothieyl and alkoxycarbonyl cyanovinyl side chains for photovoltaic applications

Abstract

Alkylthiothieyl substituted benzothiophene (BDT) and alkoxycarbonyl cyanovinyl modified thienothiophene (TT) were copolymerized to obtain a new two dimensional low band gap polymer PBDTTT-S-CN, which exhibited a promising efficiency of 7.0% in organic solar cells.
