A symmetrical perylene bisimide derivative (PBI) with 2-(4-nitrophenyl)acrylonitrile groups at the 1,7 bay positions of perylene and solubilizing cyclohexyl units was synthesized and characterized. The absorption spectrum of PBI was broad with the most prominent peak at 655 nm and optical band gap of 1.72 eV. The electrochemical investigation indicates that PBI has a LUMO energy level of -3.9 eV which is similar to that of PCBM or PC70BM. Bulk heterojunction solar cell fabricated using a blend of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and PBI (1:1 w/w) as active layer cast from THF exhibited power conversion efficiency (PCE) at 1.56%. However, the device with P3HT:PBI blend deposited from mixed solvent (DIO/THF) improved the PCE to 2.78% which further increased to 3.17% on using the thermal annealed active layer. The improvement in the PCE is attributed to the enhanced crystallinity of the blend (particularly P3HT) and increase in hole mobility leading to balanced charge transport. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.
