Abstract

A new building block of naphtho[1,2-b:5,6-b′]difuran (NDF) with alkyl chains was firstly designed and synthesized. NDF was used as the electron donor unit in constructing a new low band gap copolymer (PNDFDTBT). A polymer solar cell with the configuration of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PNDFDTBT:PC71BM (1 : 2,w/w)/Ca/Al demonstrates a promising power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 4.5%.
