Syntheses and Properties of Semiconducting Polymers Based on Pyrimidine Series Substituted with Thiazolo-Pyridine
E-mail:,
For the utilization in the polymer solar cells, conjugated polymers were synthesized using electron-deficient units, 2-{3-[4,6-bis-(4-hexyl-thiophen-2-yl)-pyrimidin-2-yl]-phenyl}-thiazolo[5,4-b]pyridine (mTP) or 2-{4-[4,6-bis-(4-hexylthiophen-2-yl)-pyrimidin-2-yl]-phenyl}-thiazolo[5,4-b]pyridine (pTP). To increase the electron-deficiency of the pyrimidine unit, thiazolopyridine (TP), strong electron-withdrawing group, was incorporated at the meta-/para-position of the phenylene connector which is attached to the pyrimidine. It was confirmed that the TP unit at para-position has stronger intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effect to shift the absorption to the longer wavelength region and deepens the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level. The polymers with 4-(1-octylnonyl)-6-(2-thienyl)-4H-thieno[3,2,-b]indole (TTI) having the decent solubility for the morphology show the superior open-circuit voltage (V OC ) value of the mTTI/pTTI devices compared to the others. Also, the polymers with TTI show increased short-circuit current (J SC ), fill factor (FF), and power conversion efficiency (PCE) due to high face-on populations.
