Four polymers based on perylenediimide co-polymerized with thiophene, bithiophene, selenophone and thieno[3, 2-b]thiophene were investigated as the acceptor materials in all-polymer solar cells. Two different donor polymers, poly[4, 8-bis (5-(2-ethylhexyl) thiophen-2-yl) benzo[1, 2-b; 4, 5-b']dithiophene-2, 6-diyl-alt-(4-(2-ethylhexyl)-3-fluorothieno[3, 4-b]thiophene)-2-carboxylate-2, 6-diyl] (PTB7-Th) and poly[(5, 6-difluoro-2, 1, 3-benzothiadiazol-4, 7-diyl)-alt-(3, 3"'-di (2-dodecyltetradecyl)-2, 2';5', 2";5", 2"'-quaterthiophen-5, 5"'-diyl)] (PffBT4T-2DT), with suitably complementary absorption spectra and energy levels were applied and examined. Among all different donor-acceptor pairs studied here, the combination of PTB7-Th:poly[N,N'-bis (1-hexylheptyl)-3, 4, 9, 10-perylenediimide-1, 6/1, 7-diyl-alt-2, 5-thiophene] (PDI-Th) exhibited the best power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 5.13%, with open-circuit voltage (V_oc)=0.79 V, short-circuit current density (J_sc)=12.35 mA·cm^-2 and fill-factor (FF)=0.52. The polymer of PDI-Th acceptor used here had a regio-irregular backbone, conveniently prepared from a mixture of 1, 6-and 1, 7-dibromo-PDI. It is also noteworthy that neither additive nor post-treatment is required for obtaining such a cell performance.
