The present invention relates to a polymer compound, an organic semiconductor material containing the polymer compound, an organic electronic device containing the organic semiconductor material, and a solar cell module containing the organic electronic device.

Organic semiconductor materials are one of the most important materials in the field of organic electronics. They can be divided into electron-donating p-type organic semiconductor materials or electron-accepting n-type organic semiconductor materials. By appropriately combining such p-type organic semiconductor materials and n-type organic semiconductor materials, various semiconductor devices can be manufactured. Semiconductor elements are used in, for example, organic electroluminescence that emits light due to the action of excitons formed by the recombination of electrons and positive holes, or organic thin film solar cells that convert light into electricity, or organic thin film solar cells that suppress current or voltage. Thin film transistors and other organic electronic devices. An example of an organic semiconductor material used in an organic electronic device is disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example. The organic semiconductor material described in Patent Document 1 contains a polymer compound containing a structural unit having a specific benzobisthiazole skeleton.

In addition, among organic electronic devices, organic thin film solar cells do not emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, are useful in terms of environmental protection, have a simple structure and are easy to manufacture, so demand is increasing. Organic thin film solar cells are expected to have high efficiency (photoelectric conversion efficiency eta) in converting sunlight energy into electricity. The photoelectric conversion efficiency η is calculated as the product of the short-circuit current density (Jsc), the open voltage (Voc) and the fill factor (FF) [η = Jsc × Voc × FF]. To improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency eta, the short circuit needs to be improved. Any of current density (Jsc), open voltage (Voc), or fill factor (FF).

The fill factor FF is a factor that represents the internal resistance. When the maximum output is Pmax, it is expressed by the following formula. FF=Pmax/(Voc×Jsc) The photoelectric conversion efficiency eta is expressed by the following formula. η=Jsc×Voc×FF

As a result, the reverse-type device produced using the above mixed solution 1 had Jsc (short circuit current density) of 12.3 mA/cm ² , Voc (open voltage) of 0.85 V, FF (fill factor) of 0.72, and the value of Voc×FF is 0.612. Furthermore, the photoelectric conversion efficiency eta was 7.53%. On the other hand, the reverse-type device produced using the above mixed solution 2 had Jsc (short circuit current density) of 11.7mA/cm ² , Voc (open end voltage) of 0.76V, FF (fill factor) of 0.68, and Voc×FF The value is 0.517. Furthermore, the photoelectric conversion efficiency eta was 6.05%. [Industrial applicability]

If an organic semiconductor material containing the polymer compound of the present invention is used as an organic electronic device, the product of the open voltage (Voc) and the filling factor (FF) [Voc×FF] of the organic electronic device can be increased, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency. n. This can improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency η of organic electronic devices such as organic thin film solar cells.
