Herein, we conducted a comprehensive comparison between fullerene (FA) and non-fullerene (NFA) acceptor-based organic solar cells (OSCs). Four chalcogenophene-thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6-dione-chalcogenophene containing random conjugated polymers were used as donor materials in the active layer of OSCs. Our results showed that selenophene-containing polymer P1 performed better with ITIC (NFA), resulting in a PCE of 7.94%, whereas when blended with PC71BM (FA), it performed a PCE of 7.62%. One other selenophene containing polymer P2 achieved a PCE of 1.96% with ITIC and 6.30% with PC71BM. P3 and P4 (furan-containing polymers) exhibited 1.40% and 1.32% with ITIC, whereas when blended with PC71BM, 1.46% and 2.45%, respectively.

Investigation the effect of π bridge and side chain on photovoltaic properties of benzodithiophene and quinoxaline based conjugated polymers Taşkaya Aslan, Sultan; Alemdar, Eda; Hacıefendioğlu, Tuğba; UDUM, YASEMİN; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Yıldırım, Erol; Çırpan, Ali (2022-04-15) © 2022 Elsevier LtdA series of donor–acceptor type alternative polymers containing 2D-BDT and 1D-BDT as the donors and quinoxaline as the acceptor were successfully obtained by Stille coupling reactions. Synthesized polymers containing selenophene and thiophene as π-bridges in their backbones and 2-ethylhexylselenophene and 2-ethylhexylalkoxy side groups on the BDT structure were named as P1, P2, P3 and P4, respectively. Eonsetox and Eonsetred were investigated for P1, P2, P3, and P4, respectively. Onset ox...
A triazoloquinoxaline and benzodithiophene bearing low band gap copolymer for electrochromic and organic photovoltaic applications HACIOGLU, Serife O.; UNLU, Naime A.; AKTAS, Ece; HIZALAN, Gonul; Yildiz, Esra D.; Çırpan, Ali; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2017-06-01) A new triazoloquinoxaline and benzodithiophene based copolymer was synthesized to investigate its electro-chemical, optical and photovoltaic behaviors. According to the polymer design, combination of two acceptor units (benzotriazole and quinoxaline) which contribute imine bonds to the structure and a triazoloquinoxaline unit for enhancing electron accepting ability was pursued. As a result of electrochemical studies, the copolymer PTQBDT has a low lying HOMO energy level as - 5.23 eV which increases the ch...
Investigation of optoelectronic properties of benzotriazole and thiazole bearing conjugated polymers Ünay, Hakan; Çırpan, Ali; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2019) This thesis deals with the design, synthesis and characterization of conjugated polymers P1 and P2 that have potential application in organic solar cell. Polymer design was accomplished by using band gap engineering method. According to that, benzodithiophene (BDT) and silafluorene were chosen as donor groups in P1 and P2 respectively. The acceptor parts were the same for both polymers including benzotriazole (BTZ) and thiazole group. According to electrochemical studies both polymers were having n-dopable ...
New DPP and Selenophene based NIR Absorbing Polymers for Organic Solar Cell Applications Günbaş, Emrullah Görkem; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Oklem, Gulce (2018-07-06) The broad spectrum of sunlight which spans from 300 nm to 1200 nm cannot be effectively utilized in organic solar cells since most organic polymers have absorption between 300 ve 800 nm range. Recently coppolymers from diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) and simple donors such as thiophene and furan was shown to achieve absorption maxima around 800 nm. Here we shown that DPP coupled with selenophene pushes the absorption even futher and a polymer with absorption maxima at 830 nm (absorption onset 930 nm) could be at...
Dual-band high-frequency metamaterial absorber based on patch resonator for solar cell applications and its enhancement with graphene layers Ustunsoy, Mehmet Pasa; Sabah, Cumali (2016-12-05) In this paper, a dual-band high-frequency metamaterial absorber based on patch resonator is designed and analyzed for solar cells. In order to obtain a metamaterial absorber, metal-semiconductor-metal layers are combined. The results of the designed structure are shown in the infrared and visible ranges of solar spectrum. Structural parameters and dimensions of the device have a significant importance on the performance of the designed absorber. The simulations are carried out with full-wave electromagnetic...
