Abstract
A low band-gap alternating copolymer of indolocarbazole and benzothiadiazole-cored oligothiophene demonstrated balanced crystallinity and solubility; a solar cell combining this polymer with PC61BM in a preliminary test demonstrated power conversion efficiencies of 3.6%.This publication has 38 references indexed in Scilit:
