A benzotriazole and 3-hexylthiophene (3HT) bearing a donor acceptor donor (D-A-D) type conjugated polymer (PHTBT) was synthesized. The polymer is both p and n-dopable, fluorescent, soluble in common organic solvents, and processable. Electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical characterization of PHTBT and its photovoltaic performance in organic bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells (SC) have been measured. Using PHTBT as donor material in BHJ solar cells resulted in increased open circuit voltage (V-oc) up to 0.85 V.

Synthesis, characterization and photovoltaic properties of benzo[c][1,2,5]oxadiazole based conjugated polymers for organic solar cells Karakurt, Oğuzhan; Çırpan, Ali; Günbaş, Emrullah Görkem; Department of Chemistry (2021-1-22) In this thesis, six conjugated polymers were synthesized by coupling of 2,1,3- benzoxadiazole derivatives with donor groups via Stille polycondensation reactions. Moreover, the effect of molecular weight for P1 and P2, effect of position of alkyl chain for P5 and effect of π-bridge groups for P6 which are selenophene and thiophene on optical, electrochemical, and photovoltaic properties were investigated. Also, modifications on alkyl chains of P3 and P4 were performed to increase their functionalities via p...
Synthesis and electrochemical polymerization of diketopyrrolopyrrole based donor-acceptor-donor monomers containing 3,6-and 2,7-linked carbazoles Akbayrak, Merve; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (2016-01-01) Three new donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) type monomers bearing 2,7- or 3,6-linked carbazoles as the donor unit and 2,5-dihydro-3,6-di-2-thienyl-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-dione (DPP) as the electron poor acceptor unit were synthesized via a Suzuki cross coupling reaction. The monomers were electrochemically polymerized both by repetitive cycling and by constant potential electrolysis in acetonitrile-tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate electrolytic medium containing boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BFEE)....
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...
Photovoltaic properties of benzotriazole containing alternating donor–acceptor copolymers: Effect of alkyl chain length Baran, Derya; Balan, Abidin; Stubhan, Tobias; Ameri, Tayebeh; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Brabec, Christoph J. (Elsevier BV, 2012-12) A series of variable alkyl chain length substituted donor-acceptor (D-A) conjugated polymers with thiophene ring as the donor and benzotriazole moiety as the acceptor has been investigated in bulk heterojunction solar cells. The optical and electrochemical properties showed that the absorption onsets and the energy levels of the copolymers were not affected by alkyl substitution revealing 1.9 eV of optical band gap. The morphologies of the blend film can be fine-tuned by increasing the chain length attached...
Syntheses and Optical Properties of Perfluorophenyl Containing Benzimidazole Derivatives: The Effect of Donor Units ILERI, Merve; HACIOGLU, Serife O.; Çırpan, Ali; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2015-07-03) Synthesis of two novel donor - acceptor - donor type monomers containing benzimidazole as the acceptor unit and thiophene and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) as the donor units were performed. 2-(Perfluorophenyl)-4,7-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole and 4,7-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-2-(perfluorophenyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole were synthesized successfully and polymerized electrochemically. The electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical studies of the polymers were studied. The effec...
