Synthesis and Photovoltaic Properties of Poly(p-phenylenevinylene) Derivatives Modified by Thiophene Derivatives
Abstract:
Two novel conjugated polymers (P1 and P2), consisting of 2,5-dioctyloxy-1,4- phenylenevinylene and terthiophene derivative based on 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene, named TTh-Oxa, with oxadiazole side chains, have been synthesized via the Witting–Horner reaction. Another poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) derivative P3 was also prepared for comparison. The introduction of TTh-Oxa unit in polymer benefits to widening and red shifting the absorption spectra of PPV derivatives. Photovoltaic cells were fabricated with the as-synthesized polymers as the donors and [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) as the acceptor in a 1:4 weight ratio. The device based on P1 showed a maximum power conversion efficiency of 0.64 % under simulated AM 1.5 G solar irradiation (100 mW/cm2).
