In this work,semirigid linkers of the alkyl-thiophene-alkyl structure are developed to construct double-cable polymers.Three alkyl units,propyl(C3H6),hexyl(C6H12),and dodecyl(C12H24),are applied as semi-rigid linkers,yielding three double-cable polymers:PBC6-T,PBC12-T,and PBC24-T,respectively.PBC12-T which uses C6H12-thiophene-C6H12 linkers is found to exhibit the best device efficiency of 5.56%,while PBC6-T and PBC24-T with shorter or longer linkers yield device efficiencies of only 2.65%and 1.09%in single-component organic solar cells(SCOSCs).Further studies reveal that PBC12-T exhibits higher crys-tallinity and improved charge transport,resulting in better efficiencies.Our work provides an approach to construct double-cable conjugated polymers with long alkyl linkers,and it shows the importance of the linker length for the photovoltaic performance of SCOSCs.
