Abstract

We report a new class of anthracene-thiophene-based copolymers, PAT4. The UV-vis absorption spectrum of PAT4 was broad and covered the full range of the solar spectrum. The hole mobility of PAT4 was high, up to 0.037 cm2V−1 s−1. PAT4-based organic solar cells showed promising power conversion efficiencies of 1.7%.
