The optimization of π-bridge for trialkylsilyl substituted D-π-A photovoltaic polymers

Mengzhen Du et al.

Summary: The researchers designed and synthesized three polymers with BDTT-Si and BTA as the D and A units, respectively, and successfully fine-tuned the solubility, crystallinity, and optoelectronic properties of the polymers by adjusting the alkyl chain in the π-bridge. Among them, polymer PE7c achieved the highest power conversion efficiency, indicating that introducing a π-bridge with suitable alkyl chain is an effective strategy to improve photovoltaic performance.
