An alternating low band-gap polyfluorene for optoelectronic devices
Journal article, 2006

An alternating polyfluorene (APFO) with low band-gap segments. APFO-Green1, was synthesized for use in optoelectronic devices. The low band-gap segment consists of an electron acceptor (A), fenced by electron donors (D). This D-A-D configuration leads to partial charge transfer in the polymer backbone and a low band-gap of 1.3 eV. Characterization of APFO-Green1 include measurement of light absorption and emission at extended wavelengths and high hole mobility was found. Blends of the polymer with different fullerene derivs. exhibit unusually high photovoltaic performance at long wavelengths, making this type of conjugated polymers promising for application in plastic solar cells.
