Abstract

An acceptor-acceptor polymer HFTBT-DA865 based on dithiophene benzothiadiazole and isoindigo units has been synthesized by Stille polymerizaiton condensation reaction assisted with microwave. The thermal stability, photophysical properties, electrochemical properties and bulk heterojunction solar cells have been researched in details. This polymer is easily soluble in o-dichlorobenzene, o-xylene and so on, and has excellent solution processing properties. Its 5% thermal decompostion is 389℃ and glass transition temperature is 168℃, which show that the polymer has excellent thermal stability. By optimizing spin coating speed and temperature, the maximum photoelectric conversion efficiency of the polymer solar cell based on HFTBT-DA865 is 2.28%, the open circuit voltage is 0.83 V, the short circuit current is -5.70 mA/cm2, and the filling factor is 48.9%. Electrochemical performance and density functional theory estimates show that the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) values and the planarity of polymer and PC71BM may be the key factors affecting the low power conversion efficiency (PCE). The device performance can be further improved by further optimization of the monomer structure and the acceptor materials. This study about the properties of bulk heterojunction (BHJ) polymer solar cell based on acceptor-acceptor (A-A) typed conjugated polymer shows that this type polymer is a potential polymer solar cell material.
