Porphyrin-incorporated 2D D-A polymers with over 8.5% polymer solar cell efficiency.

A copolymerization strategy is developed to utilize porphyrin as a complementary light-harvesting unit (LHU) in D-A polymers. For polymer solar cells (PSCs), the presence of LHUs increases the short-circuit current density (Jsc ) without sacrificing the open-circuit voltage (Voc ) and fill factor (FF). Up to 8.

Influences of the non-covalent interaction strength on reaching high solid-state order and device performance of a low bandgap polymer with axisymmetrical structural units.

A high organic field-effect transistor mobility (0.29 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) ) and bulk-heterojunction polymer solar cell performance (PCE of 6.82%) have been achieved in a low bandgap alternating copolymer consisting of axisymmetrical structural units, 5,6-difluorobenzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole.
