We have synthesized a series of carbazole-benzothiadiazole-triazole based copolymers, poly[(N-9′-heptadecanyl-2,7-carbazole)-co-(5,5-(4′,7′-di-2-thienyl-2′,1′,3′-benzothiadiazole))-co-((4-(4-butylphenyl)-3,5-diphenyl-4H-1,2,4]triazole))] (PCz3TBTz) by Suzuki coupling polymerization. The optical and electrochemical properties of the copolymers could be tuned by changing the comonomer unit of triazole from 0% to 80%. Organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells were fabricated by blending the synthesized polymers as a donor and PCBM as an acceptor. The material solubility and film morphology were improved by introducing the triazole unit in the main chain. Improved OPV device performance of 1.74% was achieved in the presence of an optimal amount of triazole moieties.

Titanium oxide TiOx material is used as electron transporter in organic photovoltaic cells (OPV). The layer was prepared between P3HT:PCBM as the active layer and the and aluminum electrode by spin coating technique. The synthesis and characterization of TiOx is described. Using Raman spectroscopy technique TiOx crystals show anatase structure. Varied concentrations of TiOx and isopropanol solvent were performed. The most optimized device efficiencies up to 2,0% was achieved at a 1:20 ratio, which indicated more than 50% efficiency enhancement comparing with the device without TiOx layer. The major improvement of the cell was originated from photocurrent enhancement.

Donor–acceptor-type π-conjugated polymers consisting of cyclobutenedione as an acceptor and bithiophene as a donor were synthesized by Kumada–Tamao–Corriu coupling polymerization of an acetal-protected monomer.
