Synthesis of a Low Band Gap Polymer and Its Application in Highly Efficient Polymer Solar Cells
Solarmer Energy (United States) · University of California, Los Angeles
Abstract
HOMO level of the PBDTTT-based polymer was successfully reduced by introducing an ketone group in place of the ester group. The average PCE of the PBDTTT-based devices reached 6.3% with a champion PCE result of 6.58%. Due to its highly efficient photovoltaic performance and more feasible synthesis approach, PBDTTT-C has the potential to be successfully applied in the large-scale manufacturing of polymer solar cells.
