An alternating donor-acceptor copolymer based on a benzotriazole and benzodithiophene was synthesized and selenophene was incorporated as -bridge. The photovoltaic and optical properties of polymer were studied. The copolymer showed medium band gap and dual absorption peaks in UV-Vis absorption spectra. Photovoltaic properties of P-SBTBDT were performed by conventional device structure. The OSC device based on polymer: PC71BM (1:1, w/w) exhibited the best PCE of 3.60% with a V-oc of 0.67 V, a J(sc) of 8.95 mA/cm(2), and a FF of 60%. This finding was supported with morphological data and space charge limited current (SCLC) mobilities. The hole mobility of the copolymer was estimated through SCLC model. Although surface roughness of the active layer is really high, mobility of a polymer was found as 7.46 x 10(-3) cm(2)/Vs for optimized device that can be attributed to Se-Se interactions due to the larger, more-polarizable Se atom.

Electrochemical and Optical Studies of Furan and Thieno[3,2-b]thiophene End Capped Benzotriazole Derivatives AKBASOGLU, Naime; BALAN, Abidin; BARAN, Derya; Çırpan, Ali; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Wiley, 2010-12-01) Two new 2-dodecyl benzotriazole (BTz) based donor-acceptor-donor (DAD) type polymers were synthesized and characterized in terms of their electrochemical and spectral properties. These DAD type polymers were synthesized electrochemically from furan or thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (TT) endcapped BTz monomers. Furan based and thieno[3,2-b]thiophene based monomers showed monomer oxidations at 1.15 and 1.25 V, respectively, which eased the formation of conducting polymer films without overoxidation. Cyclic voltammetr...
Benzodithiophene and Benzotriazole Bearing Conjugated Polymers for Electrochromic and Organic Solar Cell Applications UNLU, Naime Akbasoglu; HACIOGLU, Serife O.; HIZALAN, Gonul; Yildiz, Dilber Esra; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Çırpan, Ali (The Electrochemical Society, 2017-01-01) Herein, alternating donor-acceptor type benzodithiophene and benzotriazole bearing copolymers were synthesized and thieno[3,2-b] thiophene and furan units were incorporated as pi-bridges. The application of these polymers for electrochromic and photovoltaic studies were performed. Spectroelectrochemical studies illustrate that both polymers showed multichromic behavior due to tailoring of polaron bands in visible region. Photovoltaic properties of P2 were performed by conventional device structure. The best...
Viscoelastic properties of reactive and non-reactive blends of ethylene-methyl acrylate copolymers with styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer Bayram, G; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Xanthos, M (Wiley, 2001-02-01) The effects of compatibilizing reactions on the viscoelastic properties and morphology of ethylene-methyl acrylate copolymers were studied. Potentially reactive blends of styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer (SMAH) and a terpolymer of ethylene/methyl acrylate/glycidyl methacrylate (E-MA-GMA) were compared with a nonreactive blend of SMAH and an ethylene/methyl acrylate (E-MA) copolymer with similar rheological properties. Melt mixing was carried out in a batch mixer and in a co-rotating twin screw extruder. T...
