Abstract
Conjugated polymers with simple chemical structures are attractive for the design of high efficiency, wide bandgap (WBG) donor materials used in non-fullerene organic solar cells. Fluorene is one of the most common structures in organic opto-electronic materials. It is herein used, for the first time, functionalized with the oxime group to construct the acceptor unit of D–A polymer donors with a BDT donor unit. The polymers, PBFO-H and PBFO-F, had low-lying HOMOs with a wide bandgap of 2.08 eV and are soluble in chloroform for easy processing. Organic solar cells were constructed using the polymers and a non-fullerene Y6 acceptor. The fluorinated polymer (PBFO-F) had better photovoltaic properties over the non-fluorinated polymer overall, with JSC, VOC, and FF values of 23.17 mA cm−2, 0.84 V, and 55.2%, respectively, and a high PCE of 10.71%. These results demonstrate that fluorene is promising in constructing acceptor units for D–A wide bandgap polymers.
