Abstract: Two planar conjugated copolymers poly2,8-{5,11-diisooctylindolo[3,2-b]carbazole}-4,7-di[2,5-thiophene]-5,6-dioctyloxy-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole(QP-2) and poly2,8-{5,11-dioctylindolocarbazole}-4,7-di[2,5-thiophene]-5,6-dioctyloxy-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole(QP-3) with main chain donor-acceptor alternating structures were synthesized and their photophysical and photovoltaic properties were investigated. Photovoltaic cells based on polymer QP-3 gave a power conversion efficiency(PCE) of 2.59%, an open circuit voltage(VOC) of 0.72 V, a short circuit current density(JSC) of 9.24 mA/cm2, and a fill factor(FF) of 0.38. The results show that the polymer without branched alkyl side group performs better and they have better crystallinity in solid film.
