Crystalline low band-gap alternating indolocarbazole and benzothiadiazole-cored oligothiophene copolymer for organic solar cell applications

Abstract

A low band-gap alternating copolymer of indolocarbazole and benzothiadiazole-cored oligothiophene demonstrated balanced crystallinity and solubility; a solar cell combining this polymer with PC61BM in a preliminary test demonstrated power conversion efficiencies of 3.6%.
