Abstract
Developing efficient wide-bandgap copolymer donor materials to match with narrow bandgap non-fullerene acceptors is continuously ongoing for polymer solar cells. Herein, two new D-A copolymers are designed and synthesized by embedding the same anthra[1,2-b:4,3-b':6,7-c"] trithiophene-8,12-dione (A3T) acceptor unit and different donor units, i.e., BDTTZ ( P126 ) and BDTTh ( P127 ). These copolymers showed broad absorption from 350 to 680 nm and deeper HOMO energy level. We have used these two copolymers as donors and a narrow bandgap non-fullerene acceptor Y6 to prepare bulk heterojunction polymer solar cells (PSCs). After the optimization, P126 :Y6 and P127 :Y6 attained overall power conversion efficiency of 15.07% and 12.27%, respectively. The higher PCE for the P126 than P127 is associated with the more efficient photon harvesting and photogenerated excitons, balanced charge transport, and low energy loss. Our results may help to design new polymers with a deeper highest occupied molecular orbital level that will be well-matched with non-fullerene acceptors. • We have used the approach of weak donor and strong acceptor approach to design the D-A copolymers. • Two D-A copolymers were designed with same A3T acceptor and different donors, i.e., BDTTZ ( P126 ) and BDTTh (P127 ). • Both the copolymers showed deeper HOMO energy level to achieved high V OC . • P126 :Y6 and P127 :Y6 showed power conversion efficiency of 15.07% and 12.27%, respectively.
