Abstract

Polymer solar cells (PSCs) have recently attracted considerable attention due to their advantages of low cost, light weight, processability and compatibility with large scale flexible substrates [1]. Polythiophenes are quite interesting materials for this purpose, combining the above described advantages with an enhanced photochemical stability, compared with poly(p-phenylene vinylene) and poly p-phenylene.In this communication the synthesis, the spectroscopic, the electrochemical and photovoltaic characterization of a thiophene based copolymerare reported. The synthesis was performed in analogy to ref. [2] via Stille coupling of a brominated and a stannilated comonomer as illustrated in Fig.1. The copolymer was characterised through 1H and 13C NMR, Uv-Vis spectroscopy, Cyclic Voltammetry.References[1] S. Gunes, H. Neugebauer, N. S.
