Abstract
Low bandgap polymers with dithienylquinoxaline moieties based on 6H-phenanthro[1,10,9,8-cdefg]carbazole were synthesized via the Suzuki coupling reaction. Alkoxy groups were substituted at two different positions on the phenyl groups of the quinoxaline units of these polymers: in the para-position (PPQP) and in the meta-position (PPQM). The two polymers showed similar physical properties: broad absorption in the range of 400-700 nm, optical bandgaps of approximate to 1.8 eV, and the appropriate frontier orbital energy levels for efficient charge transfer/separation at polymer/PC71BM interfaces. However, the PPQM solar cell achieved a higher PCE due to its higher J(sc). Our investigation of the morphologies of the polymer:PC71BM blend films and theoretical calculations of the molecular conformations of the polymer chains showed that the polymer with the meta-positioned alkoxy group has better miscibility with PC71BM than the polymer with the para-positioned alkoxy group because the dihedral angle of its phenyl group with respect to the quinoxaline unit is higher. This higher miscibility resulted in a polymer:PC71BM blend film with a better morphology and thus in a higher PCE.
