Prato reaction derived polythiophene/C₆₀ donor–acceptor double cable polymer, fabrication of photodetectors and evaluation of photocurrent generation

Abstract

A polythiophene/C₆₀ D–A covalent hybrid developed <italic>via</italic> a combination of GRIM polymerization, side chain engineering, and Prato reaction exhibited higher photocurrent generation when used as a photoactive layer in an organic photodetector.
