To pursue effective charge transport and high fill factor (FF) in photovoltaic devices, adopting ordered polymers with enhanced hole mobility is greatly desired. Currently, a popular strategy in improving charge transport has been applied by enforcing the coplanarity of fused-ring conjugated structures. However, their synthetic complexity hinders their further development. Here, an effective strategy is successfully developed to introduce soluble alkenyl side chains in D-A type photovoltaic polymer backbones to improve the charge transport ability and photovoltaic performance. The introduction of the trans-vinylene (CH=CH) linkage in alkenyl side chains strengthens the polymeric crystalline properties and charge transport ability, and further improves the photovoltaic performance. Meanwhile, a high FF of 0.73 can still be obtained for a device with a film thickness of 200 nm. The low cost, feasible chem. strategy could potentially be applied for other thickness-insensitive organic photovoltaic materials design. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 3,7-Dimethyloctan-1-ol (cas: 106-21-8Application of 106-21-8).
3,7-Dimethyloctan-1-ol (cas: 106-21-8) belongs to alcohols. Alkyl halides are often synthesized from alcohols, in effect substituting a halogen atom for the hydroxyl group. Secondary alcohols are easily oxidized without breaking carbon-carbon bonds only as far as the ketone stage. No further oxidation is seen except under very stringent conditions.Application of 106-21-8
