Abstract

Summary: Poly[3-(4-octylphenyl) thiophene] (POPT) and poly[3-(4-octylphenoxy) thiophene] (POPOT) with high head-to-tail regioregularities have been synthesised and photovoltaic properties have been investigated. POPT-blend-PCBM exhibits an interesting behaviour in bulk heterojunction whereas POPOT presents poor photovoltaic performances. UV-visible absorption and AFM images of the blends are presented to explain these results.
