Four new low-band-gap alternating copolymers (P-1, P-2, P-3 and P-4) based on electron-rich benzodithiophene and newly developed electron-deficient units, thienopyrazine or dithiadiazatrindene derivatives, were synthesized by Stille polycondensation. All polymers exhibit good solubility in common organic solvents and a broad absorption band in the visible to near-infrared regions. The film optical band gaps of the polymers are in the range of 1.28-2.07 eV and the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy levels are in the range of -4.99 eV to -5.28 eV. Bulk heterojunction polymer solar cells (PSCs) of the polymers were fabricated with phenyl-C-61-butyric acid methyl ester (PC61BM) as acceptor material, and a power conversion efficiency of 0.80% was realized with P-1 as donor material.
