Abstract

All through the last decade the field of polymers photovoltaic have seen a remarkable development in in cooperation device efficiency and considerate of the essential optical properties. A class of new conjugated polymers containing a donor polythiophene (PTh) and polypyrrol (PPy) was synthesized via Chemical polymerization by using TiCl4 as a oxidizing agent. The resulting copolymer was characterized by UV-vis, XRD, FE-SEM analysis. We fabricated organic photovoltaic cell device by using as-prepared composite. Copolymer photovoltaic cell of a bulk heterojunction was fabricated on ITO glass plates with the structure of ITO/copolymer/ITO. The photovoltaic parameter such as open-circuit voltage (Voc), fill factor (FF), short-circuit current (Isc), were measured. The conversion efficiency for as fabricated photovoltaic cell was found to be 0.34%.
