The effects of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole on the thermal, photophysical, electrochemical and photovoltaic properties were investigated. The introduction of the 3-nitro-1,2,4- triazole side chains benefits to lowering the bandgaps of the polymers. The bulk-heterojunction polymer solar cells were fabricated based on the blend of the as-synthesized polymers and the fullerene acceptor [6, 6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM). The maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE = 1.13%) was obtained with PBDT-TZN as the electron donor under the illumination of AM 1.5, 100 mW cm-2. The study results indicate that low bandgap derived from too strong electron-withdrawing groups does not always benefit to the PCEs of PSCs.
