Polymer solar cells (PSCs) have attracted much attention because of their potential application in flexible, light-weight, and low-cost large-area devices through roll-to-roll printing.[1] The bulk heterojunction PSCs showed advanced features in realizing high efficiencies and solution-processible devices. The active layer in this kind of device consists of an interpenetrating network formed by an electron-donor material blended with an electron-acceptor material.[2, 3] Typically, conjugated polymers [4] are used as electron donors and fullerene derivatives are used as the electron acceptors [5] in the PSCs. Recently, power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 6–7% have been realized by using new conjugated polymer donors [6–8] or new fullerene-derived acceptors.[9] Short circuit current density (Jsc), open circuit voltage (Voc), and fill factors (FF) are key parameters for a PSC device, because the PCE of the device is proportional to the values of the three parameters. To broaden the response wavelength range of a PSC device by using conjugated side chains [4c, 10, 11] or narrowband-gap conjugated polymers [12–19] is an effective way to realize high Jsc values. Conjugated polymers with lower HOMO levels are helpful in realizing high Voc and PCE values, as the Voc value of PSCs is directly proportional to the offset between the HOMO level of electron donor and the LUMO level of electron acceptor.[20] PSiFDTBT,[13] PFDTBT,[21] and PCDTBT [14] are three excellent examples for this concept. Consequently, by using conjugated polymers with lower HOMO levels and also narrow band gaps, high PCEs were realized in different families of conjugated polymers.[6–8]
