  • Patent number: 8901415
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pyrene-containing conductive polymer represented by formula 1 and an organic solar cell comprising the same as an organic photovoltaic material. The conductive polymer has improved hole mobility as a result of introducing a specific amount of pyrene either into a polymer, which consists only of a donor functional group comprising one or more aromatic monomers, or into a donor-acceptor type polymer comprising a repeating acceptor introduced into a donor functional group. Thus, the conductive polymer can be used as an organic photovoltaic material in organic photodiodes (OPDs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs), organic solar cells and the like. In addition, an organic solar cell showing high power conversion efficiency (PCE) can be provided using an organic photovoltaic material comprising the pyrene-containing conductive polymer as an electron donor.
