The photophysical properties, electrochemical behaviours and photovoltaic performance were extensively investigated. Density functional theory calculations were also performed on those complexes These complexes, together with electron-acceptor [6,6]-phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester, were utilized for the fabrication of solution-processed bulk heterojunction solar cells as the electron-donor materials. The more efficient electron acceptor BODIPY segment renders a lower energy gap and a relatively better photovoltaic conversion efficiency of 0.58%. These results prove that BODIPY segment has a great potential for constructing efficient organic solar cell materials.展开更多
