Conjugated Polymer Photovoltaic Materials

During the past few decades, conjugated polymers with various molecular structures have been explored for applications in polymer solar cells (PSCs). In this chapter, an overview of conjugated polymer photovoltaic materials is given to provide insights for molecular design and fine-tuning of high-performance photovoltaic polymers. First, we briefly summarize and provide design considerations of conjugated polymer photovoltaic materials. Second, representative photovoltaic polymers are introduced. Third, representative conjugated polymer acceptor materials are briefly introduced and discussed.
