A novel (E)-5-(2-(5-alkylthiothiophen-2-yl)vinyl)thien-2-yl (TVT)-comprising benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b’]dithiophene (BDT) derivative (BDT-TVT) was designed and synthetized to compose two donor-acceptor (D-A) typed copolymers (PBDT-TVT-ID and PBDT-TVT-DTNT) with the electron-withdrawing unit isoindigo (ID) and naphtho[1,2-c:5,6-c′]bis[1,2,5]thiadiazole (NT), respectively. PBDT-TVT-ID and PBDT-TVT-DTNT showed good thermal stability (360 °C), an absorption spectrum from 300 nm to 760 nm and a relatively low lying energy level of Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital (EHOMO) (−5.36 to –5.45 eV), which could obtain a large open-circuit voltage (Voc) from photovoltaic devices with PBDT-TVT-ID or PBDT-TVT-DTNT. The photovoltaic devices with ITO/PFN/polymers: PC71BM/MoO3/Ag structure were assembled and exhibited a good photovoltaic performance with a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 4.09% (PBDT-TVT-ID) and 5.44% (PBDT-TVT-DTNT), respectively. The best PCE of a PBDT-TVT-DTNT/PC71BM-based device mainly originated from its wider absorption, higher hole mobility and favorable photoactive layer morphology.

To investigate the effect of different carbon hybridization in 9H-fluorene on the resultant polymers, a series of donor–acceptor conjugated polymers have been synthesized by copolymerizing substituted 9H-fluorenes with triazoloquinoxaline. All polymers exhibit good solution-processability and broad absorption in 350–1000 nm region with narrow optical bandgaps ranging from 1.27 eV to 1.55 eV. The results indicate that fluorene functionalization via different carbon hybridization on 9-position could be an effective strategy to fine-tune the absorption, energy levels, and photovoltaic performance of the polymers. 9-Position sp2-hybridized carbon in fluorene could enhance absorption of ultraviolet-visible and form good morphology of blending layers, through its planar rigid structure. All polymer solar cells devices exhibited moderate performance with the best power conversion efficiency of 3.02% achieved based on P2. Compared to ladder-type multifused fluorene, carbon-hybridized 9H-fluorene units can be a very useful building block for constructing narrow bandgap polymers with facile synthesis, and even interesting optoelectronic properties.
