Resumen
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) New poly(p-phenylenevinylene) (PPV)-type conducting polymers containing different concentrations of thiophene and fluorene functional units were investigated in this work and the photophysical and electrochemical properties were evaluated. We observed a dependence of these properties on the concentration of thiophene units in the polymer backbone. The hole mobilities were estimated to be on the order of 10(-6) cm(2) V(-1) s(-1). The polymers were combined with different concentrations of a soluble fullerene derivative (PCBM) and applied in bulk-heterojunction photovoltaic cells. The effects of PCBM concentration and of annealing (post-production treatment) on these devices were investigated. The best results were obtained for the materials containing higher concentrations of thiophene units. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.
