摘要
Extensive efforts have been focused on the study of wide-band gap(WBG) polymers due to their important application in multiple junction and ternary blend organic solar cells. Herein, three WBG copolymers named PBDT(X)-T1(X = O, S, Se) were synthesized based on benzodithiophene(BDT) donor unit and 1,3-bis(5-bromothiophen-2-yl)-5,7-bis(2-ethylhexyl)-4H,8H-benzo[1,2-c:4,5-c′]dithiophene-4,8-dione(T1) acceptor unit. Different aromatic heterocycle groups(furan, thiophene and selenophene) were used to modify BDT unit to investigate the influence of conjugated side chains on photovoltaic properties of conjugated polymers.. Among them, the PBDT(Se)-T1-based solar cells show the best photovoltaic performance with highest power conversion efficiencies(PCEs) of 8.52%, open-circuit voltage(Voc) of 0.91 V, and high fill factor(FF) of 72%. The results indicate the importance role of chalcogen atoms in conjugated side chains and high photovoltaic performance can be realized through side chain engineering of BDT-based WBG conjugated polymers~1.
