Two donor-p-acceptor (D-p-A) type low bandgap (LBG) conjugated polymers, namely, PT-DTNT-DT and.PTT-DTNT-DT, consisting of thiophene (T) and/or thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (TT) as donor moiety, two.flanking 2-decyltetradecylthienyl as p-bridges and large planarity and strong electron-withdrawing.naphtho[1,2-c:5,6-c0]bis[1,2,5]thiadiazole (NT) as acceptor moiety have been developed and systematically.investigated. Both copolymers exhibited strong absorption in the range of 300e850 nm, whilst.possessed the low-lying highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level of ca. 5.38 eV and the.matched lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy level of 3.90 eV with PC71BM. Compared.with NT-based star material PNTz4T using 2,20-bithiophene (2T) as the linker, the HOMO energy level of.the resultant two polymers have been significantly lowered while the absorption spectra range were.obviously broadened by replacing of 2T with T and TT. PTT-DTNT-DT showed better coplanarity, more.pronounced aggregation tendency in chlorobenzene and higher hole mobility of space-charge-limited.current (SCLC) model than those of PT-DTNT-DT. Inverted bulk heterojunction polymer solar cells.(PSCs), with these NT-based copolymers as electron donors, respectively, and PC71BM as electron.acceptor were fabricated. The optimized cell based on PT-DTNT-DT exhibited the power conversion efficiency.(PCE) of 5.10%, with an open-circuit voltage (VOC) of 0.76 V, promising short-circuit current (JSC).of 11.24 mA cm2 and fill factor (FF) of 59.88%, whereas, the device based on PTT-DTNT-DT showed.relatively higher PCE of 6.88% which was slightly higher than that of PNTz4T (6.72%), with an increased.JSC of 14.74 mA cm2 and FF of 64.00%, despite the slightly decreased VOC of 0.73 V, under the same.experimental conditions. Therefore, these results indicated the oligothiophene-NT based copolymers.were promising candidates aimed at achieving efficient PSCs.
