Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to achieve the high-performance and next-generation organic thin-film solar cells and field-effect transistors, a pyrenobisthiadiazole as a new electron-acceptor with extended π-electron systems and its semiconducting polymers were successfully synthesized and characterized. These polymers showed strong absorption up to 600 nm in the visible region, and have good potential for high-performance organic solar cells and field-effect transistors.
