Overview | Specifications | MSDS | Literature and Reviews | Technical Support
PBDTTPD is a polymer semiconductor that gives high device performance in OPV solar cells. The thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6-dione (TPD) unit offers a planar structure which is beneficial for electron delocalization to promote intrachain and interchain interactions. It also has a strong electron-withdrawing effect, leading to relatively low HOMO and LUMO energy levels for the resulting polymer semiconductors.
It has been demonstrated that linear n-octyl (rather than the branched ethyl-hexyl side chain on the acceptor moiety) enables a stronger electronic coupling with fullerene when PBDTTPD is built into OPV devices [3].
