Anthracene-based donor-acceptor low band gap polymers for application in solar cells

The preparation of anthracene-based low band gap conjugated polymers comprising 2,6-linked anthracene and dithienyl-benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole or dibithiophenyl-benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole alternate repeat units is presented. The photophysical, electrochemical and photovoltaic properties of the polym...

Description
Summary:The preparation of anthracene-based low band gap conjugated polymers comprising 2,6-linked anthracene and dithienyl-benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole or dibithiophenyl-benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole alternate repeat units is presented. The photophysical, electrochemical and photovoltaic properties of the polymers in bulk heterojunction solar cells using PC(71)BM as an acceptor are discussed.
