Different contents of fluorine in side alkyl chains were incorporated into three conjugated polymers (namely, PBDTTT-f13, PBDTTT-f9, and PBDTTT-f5) whose backbones consist of benzodithiophene donors and thienothiophene acceptors. These three fluorinated polymers, in comparison with the well-known analogue PTB7-Th, show comparable energy levels and optical band gaps. However, the fluorination of side alkyl chains significantly changed the surface energy of bulk materials, which leads to distinctl ...[more]
