A regioregular terpolymer comprising two electron-deficient and one electron-rich unit for ultra small band gap solar cells

A regioregular terpolymer that combines electron-deficient diketopyrrolopyrrole and benzothiadiazole units with an electron-rich dithienopyrrole unit is presented. In solar cells, the terpolymer affords an open circuit voltage of 0.52 V and a power conversion efficiency of 3.7% with a spectral response up to 1050 nm.
