Photovoltaic devices based on DCM-doped PPV have been fabricated. DCM absorbs light at a longer wavelength than PPV. Glass plates with ITO are used as substrates. An interfacial layer of PEDOT doped with poly(styrene sulfonic acid) is used, and then the DCM-doped PPV is applied. Eventually, aluminum electrodes are deposited by vacuum evaporation.

Linear and branched oligothiophene-5, -dioxides have been employed as electron acceptor materials in photovoltaic devices based on blends with poly(3-hexylthiophene). Photoinduced charge transfer was demonstrated from photoluminescence spectroscopy and from enhanced photovoltaic performance exhibited by the blended cells with respect to those with the pure polymer as active layer [86-92],...

A PLED based on the fluorene-PTV copolymer 591 emitted red-orange light (02MI192). Cyano substituted poly(thienylene-viniylene-thienylene) s have been synthesized and tested for their use in photovoltaic devices and field-effect transistors (09JPS(A)4028). 

Nowadays the best performing organic photovoltaic cell is represented by a bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cell based on the polymer poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and the fullerene derivative [6, 6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), with reproducible efficiencies approaching 5% [262,263], However, a serious drawback for the preparation of efficient organic photovoltaic cells is represented by the low optical absorbance in the red/near-infrared region of the lightharvesting component(s), as well as their low extinction coefflcient(s). 

Murray et al. [76] have demonstrated that an ionic liquid can be used as both the growth medium for poly(terthiophene) and also as a route to incorporation of anionic dyes into the polymer, for use in photovoltaic devices. Again, the solubility of terthiophene in [NTf2]-based ionic liquids is demonstrated 1.6 x 10-2 M in...
