ABSTRACTSolutions of individual, unbroken single-walled carbon nanotubes in organic solvent were fabricated in a reductive dissolution process. Transparent conductive films deposited from these organic inks gave a significantly higher conductivity to absorptivity ratio than those cast from an aqueous dispersion of carbon nanotubes. For example, films from the organic ink have achieved a sheet resistance of 250 Ω/□ with transmittance of 92% at 550 nm wavelength, compared to 76% transmittance for a 250 Ω/□ film from the aqueous dispersion. The promise of these films as transparent electrodes has been demonstrated by their incorporation into organic solar cells with power conversion efficiency of 2.3%, comparable to that of solar cells produced using indium tin oxide transparent electrodes.

AbstractDeveloping effective and low‐cost organic semiconductors is an opportunity for the development of organic solar cells (OPV). Herein, we report the molecular design, synthesis and characterization of two molecules with D–A–D–A configuration: 2-cyano-3-(5-(8-(3,4-ethylenodioxythiophen-5-yl)-2,3-diphenylquinoxalin-5-yl)thiophen-2-yl)acrylic acid (6) and 2-cyano-3-(5-(2,3-diphenyl-8-(thiophen-2-yl)quinoxalin-5-yl)thiophen-2-yl)acrylic acid (7). Moreover, we investigated the structural, theoretical and optical properties. The distribution of HOMO/LUMO orbitals and the values of the ionization potential indicate good semiconducting properties of the compounds and that they can be a bipolar material. Also, the optical study show good absorption in visible light (λabs 380–550 nm). We investigate the theoretical optoelectronic properties of obtained compounds as potential materials for solar cells.
