A series of donor-acceptor alternated conjugated copolymers, composed of thiophene, bithio-phene, thieno[3,2-b]thiophene, and 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole units and differing from each other by the nature and the number of 3-alkylthiophene in the backbone, have been synthesized by Stille cross-coupling polymerization. The material's optical and electrochemical properties, in solution and in thin films, have been investigated using UV-Visible absorption and cyclic voltammetry. Bulk heterojunction solar cells using blends of the newly synthesized copolymers, as electron donor, and C60-PCBM or C70-PCBM, as electron transporting material, have been elaborated. A maximum power conversion efficiency of 1.8% is achieved with a 1:4 PPBzT(2)-C12:C70-PCBM weight ratio.< Réduire
