Abstract

Polymeric solar cells (PSCs) are a promising alternative for harnessing solar energy and producing clean and renewable energy. In the present work, a new photovoltaic polymer was synthesized to be applied as an electron donor in PSCs. The conjugated polymer showed high solubility. The optical and electronic properties were investigated in which it was possible to observe wide absorption band and bandgap indicating that it is a promising material for application in solar cells.
