Abstract

A new series of polymers, chemically and electrochemically obtained from monomers containing aniline and thiophene moieties, has been prepared. The purpose is to use them as electron donor layers in the fabrication of dual-layer organic solar cells. Both the monomers and the polymers were characterized using techniques such as NMR, FT-IR, cyclic voltammetry, etc. It was found that polymer growth occurred only through aniline unit(s) and not through thiophene unit(s), as might also be expected. Optical and electronic studies revealed that the products displayed properties suitable for use in photovoltaic devices. However, prepared prototypes yields ranged just between 10-2 and 10-3. © 2012 by ESG.
