A facial synthetic route to a new heteroheptacene with the inclusion of carbazole and thiophene units is described. The synthesis of two new semiconducting copolymers with use of the heteroheptacene unit is also reported. The introduction of heteroatoms (sulfur, nitrogen) in the fused-ring system leads to small optical band-gaps of these polymers. The charge carrier mobilities for these polymers are measured in ambient conditions which are sufficient for photovoltaic applications.

In the present work, organic sensitizers are synthesized and attached on TiO2 photoanodes via Ti-O-C bonds. All sensitizers, designed for this purpose are symmetrical and have two perfluorophenyl end groups, which can lead to stable non-hydroly

The ever increasing demand for clean energy has encouraged researchers to intensively investigate environmentally friendly photovoltaic devices. Inorganic-organic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are very promising due to their potentials of easy fabrication processes and high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs). Designing hole-transporting materials (HTMs) is one of the key factors in achieving the high PCEs of PSCs. We now report the synthesis of two types of carbazole-based polymers, namely 3,6-Cbz-EDOT and 2,7-Cbz-EDOT, by Stille polycondensation. Despite the same chemical composition, 3,6-Cbz-EDOT and 2,7-Cbz-EDOT displayed different optical and electrochemical properties due to the different connectivity mode of the carbazole unit. Therefore, their performances as hole-transporting polymeric materials in the PSCs were also different. The device based on 2,7-Cbz-EDOT showed better photovoltaic properties with the PCE of 4.47% than that based on 3,6-Cbz-EDOT. This could be due to its more suitable highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level and higher hole mobility.
