In this work, semirigid linkers of the alkyl-thiophene-alkyl structure are developed to construct double-cable polymers. Three alkyl units, propyl (C3H6), hexyl (C6H12), and dodecyl (C12H24), are applied as semirigid linkers, yielding three double-cable polymers: PBC6-T, PBC12-T, and PBC24-T, respectively. PBC12-T which uses C6H12-thiophene-C6H12 linkers is found to exhibit the best device efficiency of 5.56%, while PBC6-T and PBC24-T with shorter or longer linkers yield device efficiencies of only 2.65% and 1.09% in single-component organic solar cells (SCOSCs). Further studies reveal that PBC12-T exhibits higher crystallinity and improved charge transport, resulting in better efficiencies. Our work provides an approach to construct double-cable conjugated polymers with long alkyl linkers, and it shows the importance of the linker length for the photovoltaic performance of SCOSCs.
