An isoindigo-based low band gap polymer for efficient polymer solar cells with high photo-voltage
Journal article, 2011

A new low band gap polymer (E-g = 1.6 eV) with alternating thiophene and isoindigo units was synthesized and characterized. A PCE of 3.0% and high open-circuit voltage of 0.89 V were realized in polymer solar cells, which demonstrated the promise of isoindigo as an electron deficient unit in the design of donor-acceptor conjugated polymers for polymer solar cells.
