Synthesis and Photovoltaic Properties of D–A Copolymers Based on Alkyl-Substituted Indacenodithiophene Donor Unit
Abstract
Four D–A copolymers of tetradodecyl-substituted indacenodithiophene (IDT) donor unit with different acceptor units including bis(thiophen-2-yl)-bithiazole (BTz), bis(thiophen-2-yl)thiazolothiazole (TTz), bis(thiophen-2-yl)-tetrazine (TZ), and bis(thiophen-2-yl)-benzothiadiazole (DTBT), PIDT-BTz, PIDT-TTz, PIDT-TZ, and PIDT-DTBT, were synthesized for the application as donor materials in polymer solar cells (PSCs). The copolymers possess good solubility benefitted from the four alkyl side chains on IDT unit, deeper HOMO levels at ca. −5.2 eV thanks to the IDT unit and tunable bandgap depending on the acceptor units. Among the copolymers, PIDT-TTz has the highest hole mobility (μ h ) of 4.99 × 10 –3 cm 2 /V s. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the PSC based on PIDT-TTz /PC 70 BM (1:2 w/w) reached 5.79%, under the illumination of AM1.5G, 100 mW/cm 2 . PIDT-DTBT film has the smallest bandgap of 1.68 eV and a higher μ h of 2.24 × 10 –3 cm 2 /V s. The PSC based on PIDT-DTBT /PC 70 BM (1:3 w/w) exhibited an even higher PCE of 6.17% with a J sc of 13.27 mA/cm 2, a V oc of 0.82 V, and a FF of 56.9%.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
