摘要
Three two-dimensional like conjugated copolymers PFSDCN,PFSDTA and PFSDCNIO,which consist of alternating fluorene and triphenylamine main chain,and different pendant acceptor groups (malononitrile,1,3-diethtyl-2-thiobarbituric acid and 2-(1,2-dihydro-1-oxoinden-3-ylidene)malononitrile) with thiophene as π-bridge,have been designed,synthesized and characterized.The structure-property relationships of the two-dimensional like conjugated copolymers were systematically investigated.The absorption spectra,band gaps,and energy levels of the polymers were effectively tuned by simply attaching different acceptor groups.As the electron-withdrawing ability of the acceptors increased,the band gaps of the polymers were narrowed from 2.05 to 1.61 eV;meanwhile,the LUMO energy levels of the polymers decreased from -3.27 to -3.75 eV,whereas their relatively deep HOMO energy levels of ~-5.35 eV were preserved.BHJ solar cells were fabricated and characterized by using the three polymers as donor materials and the highest power conversion efficiency of 2.87% was achieved for the device based on PFSDTA:(6,6)-phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester blend.
