Abstract

9-Arylidene-9H-fluorene containing donor-acceptor (D-A) alternating polymers P1 and P2 were synthsized and used for the fabrication of polymer solar cells (PSCs). High and low molecular weight P1 (HMW-P1 and LMW-P1) and high molecular weight P2 were prepared to study the influence of molecular weight and the position of alkoxy chains on the photovoltaic performance of PSCs. HMW-P1:PC71BM-based PSCs fabricated from 1,2-dichlorobenzene (DCB) solutions showed a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 6.26%, while LMW-P1:PC71BM-based PSCs showed poor photovoltaic performance with a PCE of only 2.75%. PCE of HMW-P1:PC71BM-based PSCs was further increased to 6.52% with the addition of 1,8-diiodooctane (DIO) as the additive. Meanwhile, PCE of only 2.51% was obtained for P2:PC71BM-based PSCs. The results indicated that the position of alkoxy substituents on the 9-arylidene-9H-fluorene unit and the molecular weight of polymers are very crucial to the photovoltaic performance of PSCs.
