Separation performance of dithienyl benzothiadiazole-based stationary phases for capillary gas chromatography

Two new TBT-based stationary phases (TBT-AA, TBT-AC12) exhibited high-resolution performance for aliphatic and aromatic isomers.

Thermally stable and efficient polymer solar cells based on a novel donor-acceptor copolymer

We report high photovoltaic performance of a novel donor-acceptor (D-A) conjugated polymer poly[2,6[4,8-bis(2-ethyl-hexyl)benzo[1,2-b;4,5-b']dithiophene-co-2,5-thiophene-co-4,7[5,6-bis-octyloxy-benzo[1,2,5]thiadiazole]-co-2,5-thiophene] (PBDTTBTZT) in bulk heterojunctions with [6,6]-phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester (PC70BM). A power conversion efficiency (PCE) of more than 7% is obtained for optimized charge-extracting electrodes. Upon application of thermal stress via annealing, a superior thermal stability is demonstrated as compared to poly[N-9″-hepta-decanyl-2,7-carbazole-alt-5,5-(4',7'-di-2-thienyl-2',1',3'-benzothiadiazole)] (PCDTBT).

Novel wide band gap polymers based on dithienobenzoxadiazole for polymer solar cells with high open circuit voltages over 1 V

Just by replacing sulfur with oxygen atom, the V_oc of PBDT-fDTBO based PSCs is 0.2 V higher than PBDT-fDTBT based devices.

The ethene based polymer shows better photovoltaic performance.

N. A, B. H. Rational design of benzodithiophene based conjugated polymers for better solar cell performance

We present a concise review of conjugated polymers based on benzodithiophenes (BDTs) for high-performance polymer solar cells (PSCs).

Synthesis and characterization of π-conjugated copolymers based on alkyltriazolyl substituted benzodithiophene

Narrow bandgap conjugated polymers were constructed based on a novel electron-donating building block consisting of an alkyltriazolyl substituted benzodithiophene unit.

Highly crystalline, low band-gap semiconducting polymers based on phenanthrodithiophene-benzothiadiazole for solar cells and transistors

Newly developed PDT-benzothiadiazole copolymers formed highly-crystalline films in a highly ordered edge-on manner. As a result, fabricated solar cells and transistor devices showed a moderate PCE of ∼3.8% and a high hole mobility of up to 0.18 cm² V⁻¹ s⁻¹.
