Concept of Ternary organic solar cell is one of the most promising topics in photovoltaic studies. However, because of the complicated phase separation systems, improving the power conversion efficiency is quite compelling. In this study, a ternary organic solar cell with two donors Poly[[4,8-bis[(2-ethylhexyl)oxy]benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene-2,6-diyl][3- fluoro-2-[(2-ethylhexyl)carbonyl]thieno[3,4-b]thiophenediyl]] (PTB7) and benzodithiophenebased random conjugated polymers (P1 and P2) and one fullerene based acceptor (PC71BM) are used to form the active layer. Two donors are complementary with each other in the UVVIS spectra, in other words, λmax values of PTB7 and P1 were determined as 760 nm and 481 nm, respectively. Photovoltaic performance of the polymers P1 and P2 were examined under the illumination of AM 1.5G, 100 mW.cm-2. Photovoltaic studies showed that the highest power conversion efficiency of these photovoltaic devices were recorded as 3.50% with open circuit voltage; 0.79 V, short circuit current; 9.45 mA.cm-2, fill factor; 0.53.

Benzodithiophene and selenophene bearing polymer for inverted organic solar cell applications Toppare, Levent Kamil; Yaşa, Mustafa; Göker, Seza; Udum, Yasemin; Günbaş, Emrullah Görkem; Çırpan, Ali (null; 2018-07-06) Inverted organic solar cells have advantages over conventional organic solar cells. Most important advantage is the improved stability of inverted solar cells. In this study, benzodithiophene, quinoxaline and selenophene bearing conjugated polymer was used as donor material in inverted solar cell applications. Device performances were investigated with the device configuration of ITO/ ZnO/ polymer:PC71BM/ MoO3/ Ag. In order to improve device performance, polymer PCBM ratio, active layer thickness, annealing...
CONJUGATED POLYMERS AND ORGANIC CATIONS FOR OPTOELECTRONIC APPLICATIONS Yaşa, Mustafa; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Arslan Udum, Yasemin; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2022-1-27) There are several studies on organic solar cells based on conjugated polymers in literature, and various new materials are being designed. The Donor-Acceptor approach has been the most common approach for designing and synthesizing conjugated polymers. In this study, thienopyrroledione bearing conjugated polymers were synthesized via Stille and Suzuki polycondensation reactions. In the first part of this thesis, the polymers obtained via Stille polycondensation were employed to fabricate organic solar cells...
Organic bulk heterojunction solar cells based on benzodithiophene and benzothiadiazole containing conjugated polymers Toppare, Levent Kamil; Bolayır, Eda; Ünal, Özlem; Çırpan, Ali; Taşkaya Aslan, Sultan (null; 2018-07-06) Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) or so-called organic solar cells particularly hold promise for manufacturing solar energy due to their advantages in low cost and production processes. In order to understand and improve the performance of OPVs, intense efforts have been dedicated around the world [1]. In particular, conjugated polymers are attractive for OPVs due to the π-conjugated systems in the polymer backbone which generates and transport the charge carriers [2]. Therefore, the design and synthesis of nove...
Electrochromic and photovoltaic applications of benzotriazole bearing donor acceptor type conjugated polymers Baran, Derya; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2010) Organic semi-conductors are of great interest since these compounds can be utilized as active layers in many device applications such as ECDs, LEDs and solar cells. Incorporating the benzotriazole units into the polymer backbone enhances the optical properties of donor units. Hexyl thiophene and pyrrole are commonly used as electron donor materials. Benzotriazole can be coupled to hexyl thiophene or pyrrole to yield materials which can be polymerized to give donor acceptor type polymers. These materials are...
CO2 utilisation by photocatalytic conversion to methane and methanol Üner, Deniz; İpek Torun, Bahar (Inderscience Publishers, 2011-01-01) In this paper we intend to give a broad overview of natural and artificial photosynthesis systems. We point out seven orders of magnitude difference of the rates of water splitting between natural and state of the art artificial photosynthesis in favour of natural photosynthesis. We reviewed the open literature for photocatalytic water splitting, CO2 reduction and suggested routes for improvements in the low yields.
