Abstract
Abstract Two conjugated polymers consisting of alternating dithieno[2,3- b ;7,6- b ]carbazole and thieno[3,4- c ]pyrrole-4,6-dione either without ( P1 ) or with ( P2 ) thiophene spacers were synthesized via Stille coupling. P1 and P2 showed a band gap of 2.07 and 1.80 eV and a highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level of −5.2 and −5.1 eV, respectively. The P1 -based solar cells showed the best power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 2.51% when 1.0% diiodooctane was mixed into the active layer of P1 /PC 71 BM (1/1). In contrast, the PCE of P2 -based solar cells was much lower, due to its lower molecular weight, more curved backbone, smaller absorption coefficient, and slightly higher HOMO level.
