Thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6-dione (TPD) based conjugated polymers as an electron donor, acceptor and single-component for application in organic solar cells in the past ten years have been intensively reviewed in this Feature Article.
Single-component organic solar cells (SCOSCs) have been recognized as the promising photovoltaic technology due to the excellent stability, but their power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) are far lagging their bulk-heterojunction counterparts....
Double-cable conjugated polymers with selenophene substituted conjugated backbones were developed for single-component organic solar cells with an efficiency of 6.25%.
The right amount of vinyl units is the key to obtaining crosslinkable PBDTTPD resulting in a PCE of 6.06% and maintaining 91% performance after 150 °C treatment for 40 h.
In this review, we summarize the recent development of the multifused ladder-type conjugated building blocks for making donor–acceptor conjugated copolymers.
