Four different kinds of photovoltaic polymers were synthesized by controlling the intrachain noncovalent coulomb interactions through the incorporation of alkoxy- or alkylthio- substituted phenylene, 4,7-di(furan-2-yl)benzothiadiazole and 4,7-di(thiophen-2-yl)benzothiadiazole as a building block. Fine-modulation of the interplay of the dipole-dipole, H-bond and chalcogen-chalcogen interactions along the polymeric backbone influenced the chain planarity, interchain organization, film morphology, electrical, and photovoltaic properties significantly. The resulting photovoltaic energy conversion efficiency of the PPDT2FBT, PPDF2FBT, PPsDF2FBT and PPsDT2FBT blended devices with PC70BM was measured to be 8.28, 5.63, 5.12, and 0.55%, respectively. This study suggests an important molecular design guideline for the further optimization of photovoltaic polymers and devices by fine-controlling the interplay of the weak noncovalent coulomb interactions. |
