The present invention features a donor-acceptor rod-coil diblock copolymer for an organic solar cell and a method for synthesizing the same. In certain embodiments, the present invention features a donor-acceptor rod-coil diblock copolymer for an organic solar cell based on polythiophene and fullerene and a method for synthesizing the same. Preferably, the block copolymer exhibits a nanofibrillar structure in solid film and, when added to an active layer of a bulk heterojunction organic solar cell consisting of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and [6,6]-phenyl-C 61 -butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) as a compatibilizing agent, improves efficiency and stability of the solar cell. |
