A series of n-type D–A terpolymers (P(NDI2HD-T-S)) with various thiophene (T) and selenophene (S) compositions (T/S=100/0, 80/20, 50/50, 20/80 and 0/100) was successfully synthesized. To understand the effects of the T/S ratios, we studied their influence on the optical, electrical and structural properties. The insertion of more S content in the polymer backbone induced the enhanced structural ordering and electron mobility. Therefore, the all-polymer solar cells based on PTB7:P(NDI2HD-T-S) blend had greatly improved efficiency as the S content increased.
