Determining the sequence and backbone structure of a??semi-statisticala?? copolymers as donora??acceptor polymers in organic solar cells
摘要： Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are attracting significant attention due to the growing demand for economically viable and renewable energy sources. With efficiencies exceeding 16.5%, single junction bulk heterojunction (BHJ) devices are amongst the most promising and are nearing commercialisation. One recent avenue of research has focused on statistical conjugated copolymers. However, a detailed investigation as to why these materials can achieve higher power conversion efficiencies than their regular alternating counterparts is seldom reported. This work describes an investigation into donor–acceptor polymers demonstrating how differing monomer activities can lead to differing microstructures in a simple batch reaction, which in turn demonstrates promising optoelectronic and morphological properties required for organic photovoltaic devices. A one pot condensation polymerisation reaction with three monomers leads to an ABA triblock structure from differing monomer reactivities. This structure in turn leads to visualised phase separation which is possibly linked to an increase in performance. Further to this we report on the reliability of the Stille coupling for the synthesis of conjugated polymers.

Doping of Donor-Acceptor Polymers with Long Side Chains via Solution Mixing for Advancing Thermoelectric Properties
摘要： One-step doping of conjugated polymers by solution mixing is typically performed instead of sequential doping because of its simplicity. However, doped polymer solutions often exhibit poor solubility, and the presence of dopants in the produced films can disturb the molecular ordering of polymer structures. In this work, effective pairs of two donor-acceptor (D-A) type polymers and a molecular dopant characterized by high solution stability and good thermoelectric properties of the prepared thin films have been reported. The presence of long side chains in the polymer structures preserves their original solubilities and crystallinity in the solution and thin-film states, respectively, even at large amounts of added dopant (up to 38 mol%). Furthermore, the relatively shallow levels of the highest occupied molecular orbitals of the selected D-A polymers enable efficient charge transfer from the dopant species. Owing to their good charge transport properties, the doped D-A polymers exhibit outstanding thermoelectric properties with a maximum power factor of 31.5 μW m?1 K?2, which is more than an order of magnitude higher than those of the control samples prepared from donor-only poly(3-hexylthiophene).
