Abstract

Abstract For the purpose of developing novel photovoltaic materials, 5, 5 ″-biformyl-2, 2′: 5′, 2 ″-terthiophene (OHC-3T-CHO) and 5, 5 ″″-biformyl-2, 2′: 5′, 2 ″: 5 ″, 2 ″′: 5 ″′, 2 ″″-q-uinquethiophene (OHC-5T-CHO) were synthesized. The photovoltaic properties of OHC-3T-CHO and OHC-5T-CHO were studied. We have fabricated two flexible organic photovoltaic devices using OHC-3T-CHO, OHC-5T-CHO, and 3, 4, 9, 10- ...
