By tuning the positions of hexyl side chains on DTBT unit, the DTBT- fluorene copolymers exhibited very different aggregation properties, leading to 60 nm bathochromic shift in their absorptions and the corresponding power conversion efficiencies （PCEs） value of photovoltaic cells varied from 0.38%, 0.69% to 2.47%. Different copolymerization units, fluorene, earbazole and phenothiazine were also investigated. The polymer based on phenothiazine exhib- ited lower PCE value due to much lower molecular weight owing to its poor solubility, although phenothiazine units were expected to be a better electron donor. Compared with the fluorene-based polymer, the carbazole-DTBT copolymer showed higher short circuit current density （Jsc） and PCE value due to its better intermolecular stacking,展开更多
