Abstract
A copolymer includes a first unit and at least one unit two units different from the first unit. An organic solar cell includes the copolymer in an organic material layer including a photoactive layer.
Claims22
A copolymer comprising a first unit represented by the following formula 1 and at least two units different from the first unit,
- wherein
- the two units different from the first unit include at least one electron acceptor and at least one electron donor,
- the electron donor is represented by the following formula 4, and
- the first unit is present in an amount of 1 mole % to 5 mole % based on the total moles of monomers constituting the copolymer:
