Abstract

A series of (1- (3- (alkoxycarbonyl ) propyl) -1-phenyl[6, 6]C61), derivatives with different alkyl chain length (C1-C16) were synthesized from the reaction of C₆₀ and alkyl 4-benzoylbutyrate p-tosylhydrazone in the presence of sodium methylate. The solubility of C₆₀ derivatives in organic solvents increased with increasing the length of alkyl group. Photovoltaic cells (PVCs) with these derivatives were fabricated with the structure of ITO/PEDT/MEH-PPV + C₆₀ derivatives/Ba/Al We found out that up to alkoxy length equal 12 carbon atoms, the PVC cells show identical device performance. Once alkoxy length becomes C16, the device performance deteriorated significantly.
