PBDB-TCl-T1 is a cholorinated version of PBDB-TF-T1 which obtains better solubility in non-halogenated solvents, i.e. o-xylene, while still maintaining high device performance efficiencies over 16%. Comparing with PBDB-TF-T1, both HOMO and LUMO energy levels of PBDB-TCl-T1 should be lowered due to the fact that electron density can be delocalized more effectively to the chlorine atom than the fluorine atom on the BDT (benzodithiophene) backbone unit. Higher open voltage can thus be expected PBDB-TCl-T1 in polymer solar cell devices.
We first developed PBDB-TCl-T1 as part of our green energy materials project. These polymer semiconducting materials can be processed in larger area in non-halogenated solvents by inkjet printing or doctor blade techniques.
