Halogen substituted benzothiadiazole polymers with different length of alkyl side chains were synthesized
via
Stille coupling and used as donor materials in polymer solar cells (PSC). These polymers exhibited good solubility in common organic solvents
excellent film forming ability
and broad absorption properly towards the sun light. By introducing the halogen atoms to the backbone
in particularly the large chlorine atoms
fullerene-based (PC
71
BM) bulk heterojunction PSCs of these polymers could achieve enhanced open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current
and eventually the power conversion efficiency could be dramatically improved. It was found that the halogen substitution and various alkyl side chains could highly affect the polymers' band gaps and charge transport properties
through influencing the molecular orientation and crystallinity. With regard to tuning the energy levels
compared with fluorine atom
chlorine atom with a bigger atomic radius could reduce more efficiently the energy levels
thereby further improving the open-circuit voltage of the corresponding PSCs. In this study
the PSCs based on one-chlorine-and-one-fluorine-substituted PCFBT4T-2OD
with PC
71
BM used as the acceptor
exhibited an open-circuit voltage of 0.72 V
a short-circuit current of 17.61 mA cm
-2
and the highest power conversion efficiency of 8.84%. From the grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS) experiments
those polymers with the halogen atoms substitutions showed a mixed "face-on" and "edge-on" conformation in their blended films. The introduction of fluorine atoms in the polymer PCFBT4T-2OD further enhanced the
π

π
stacking
compared with the one-chlorine substituted PCBT4T-2BO
which was helpful for the charge transport in the active layer and to enhance the device performance in PSCs. Those results demonstrated that the halogen substitution was an effective molecular design strategy to modify the polymer aggregation and morphology for optimized polymer solar cell applications.
