Specifications | Pricing and Options | MSDS | Literature and Reviews
PBDB-TF-T1 is a randomly copolymerised conjugated semiconducting polymer with benzodithiophene (BDT), Benzodithiophene dione (BDD) and thiophene carboxylate ester as the main backbone units. PBDB-TF-T1 is a close relative in structure to PBDBT-2F (PM6) and PTO2, relatively blue shifted in absorption to PM6 and red shifted to PTO2.
PBDB-TF-T1 is also relatively more soluble in non-halogenated solvents, i.e. o-xylene, 1,2,4‐trimethylbenzene or THF than PM6. Non-fullerene polymer solar cells withnon-halogenated solvent additive DIO from BTP-4F-12 as acceptor and PBDB-TF-T1 as polymer donor achieved high device performance efficiencies of PCE = 16.1%.
Please refer to our collection of green energy materials for non-halogenated solvents processing choice of non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs).

Cyclic Voltammetry
The cyclic voltammograms (CV) measurements were recorded on Ossila Potentiostat by using a three-electrode system with platinum disc as the working electrode, platinum wire as the counter electrode, Ag/Ag+ electrode as the reference electrode with a scanning rate of 100 mV/s in a 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium perchlorate (Bu4NClO4) solution. The potential of Ag/Ag+ reference electrode was internally calibrated by using ferrocene/ferroncenium (Fc/Fc+) as the redox couple.
