Abstract

Fullerene functionalized polystyrene (PSFu) with a variety of fullerene (C60) contents was synthesized and characterized. The best PSFu was selected on the basis of solubility and band gap energy for application studies. Feasibility for using PSFu as a replacement of C60 in bulk heterojunction (BHJ) polymer solar cells was explored. Performance of the BHJ cells containing PSFu was comparable to that of the cells containing neat C60, irrespective of the acceptor/donor weight ratios, even the actual amount of C60 in PSFu molecules was (about 5 times) lower than that of the neat C60.
