Abstract

New small molecules bearing either phenylene or naphthalene core in combination with thiophene and rhodanine periphery moieties were synthesized by the Stille cross-coupling reaction. Their evaluation for prototypes of organic solar cells showed that replacing phenylene moiety by the naphthalene one caused decrease in the HOMO energy, while the open-circuit voltage and fill factors of solar cells based on these materials were significantly improved to manifest maximum power conversion efficiencies to 5.3%.
