Abstract

Novel π-conjugated linear organic chromophore (RTzR) based on a thiazolothiazolecore (acceptor-unit) and terminal alkylated-thiophenes (donor-unit) is designed as an active material for organic solar cells. Terminal alkyl units at both ends of chromophore significantly improves its solubility and also induces liquid crystalline property which is responsible for the self-assembly behavior of the chromophore. The fabricated bulkheterojunction (BHJ) solar cell shows reasonable power conversion efficiency of ~1.57% with high photocurrent density of ~7.85 mA/cm².
