Low band-gap conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPEs) can serve as efficient chromophores for use on photoelectrodes for dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cells. Herein is reported a novel CPE based on poly(isoindigo-co-thiophene) with pendant sodium butylsulfonate groups (PiIT) and its use in construct...
