The design of novel conjugated polymers with appropriate frontier orbital energy levels, low
band gap (LBG) and suitable carrier transport properties are needed to improve the power …

Abstract 2, 1, 3‐Benzothiadiazole (BTD) is one of the most important nuclei used in the
chemistry of photoluminescent compounds and applicable for light technology. The …

The research on the polymer-based solar cells (PSCs) has attracted an increasing amount
of attention in recent years because PSCs pose potential advantages over mainstream …

A novel fluorinated copolymer (F-PCPDTBT) is introduced and shown to exhibit significantly
higher power conversion efficiency in bulk heterojunction solar cells with PC70BM …

We have synthesized a series of cyclopentadithiophene–benzochalcogenodiazole donor–
acceptor (D–A) copolymers, wherein a single atom in the benzochalcogenodiazole unit is …

A comparative photochemical stability study of a wide range of π-conjugated polymers
relevant to polymer solar cells is presented. The behavior of each material has been …

This review describes the synthesis and photovoltaic performance of donor–acceptor (D–A)
semiconducting polymers that have been reported during the last decade. 9, 9‐Dialkyl‐2, 7 …

The recent and rapid enhancement in power conversion efficiencies of organic-based, bulk-
heterojunction solar cells has been a consequence of both improved materials design and …

We report on the interaction of Lewis acids with narrow band gap conjugated copolymers
containing donor and acceptor units. Examination of the widely used poly [(4, 4-bis (2 …

Conjugated polymers are organic semiconductors that have emerged over the past few
decades as promising alternatives to inorganic semiconductors for use in a range of …
