Four π-conjugated benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene (BDT) based polymers were synthesized for application in polymer solar cells. These polymers possessed desirable HOMO/LUMO levels for polymer photovoltaic applications. PBDTT-TTz and PBDTT-DTBT displayed strong absorption in the range of 300-650 nm, while PBDTT-DPP and PBDTT-TTDPP showed a further 100 nm extended absorption band. The lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy levels of polymers were tuned effectively from -3.34 eV to -3.81 eV by fusing with different accepting units. A maximum power conversion efficiency of 2.60% was obtained from photovoltaic cells with a PBDTT-TTz:PC61BM (1:2, w/w) blend film as the active layer, with a short circuit current density of 8.37 mA cm-2, an open circuit voltage of 0.70 V, and a fill factor of 44.3%.
