Jenekhe, Watson, and coworkers [277] reported synthesizing three new donor-acceptor conjugated polymers incorporating thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6-dione acceptor and dialkoxybithiophene or cyclopentadithiophene donor units. The thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6-dione acceptor containing materials were studied in bulk heterojunction solar cells and organic field-effect transistors. The polymers had...

Electrochemical reaction usually consists of a blend of two materials an electron-donor TT-conjugated polymer (donor, D) and an electron-acceptor fullerene derivative (acceptor, A). Polymers with electrochemical properties have attracted considerable attention over past decades due to potential applications in various fields including low-cost, lightweight, and flexible electrode materials in photovoltaic devices, such as, solar cells and energy storage devices like supercapacitors (Ripolles-Sanchis et al., 2013 Gelinck et al, 2010 Snook etal, 2011).

The aim of this chapter is to give a state-of-the-art report on the plastic solar cells based on conjugated polymers. Results from other organic solar cells like pristine fullerene cells [7, 8], dye-sensitized liquid electrolyte [9], or solid state polymer electrolyte cells [10], pure dye cells [11, 12], or small molecule cells [13], mostly based on heterojunctions between phthaocyanines and perylenes [14], will not be discussed. Extensive literature exists on the fabrication of solar cells based on small molecular dyes with donor-acceptor systems (see for example [2, 3] and references therein).
