This paper describes the synthesis and photovoltaic studies of Poly(3-Phenylthiophene) (P3PhT). P3PhT was synthesized by the chemically oxidized polymerization in the presence of FeCl3. Bulk heterojunction solar cells based on polymer were fabricated by using chloroform, chlorobenzene, and dichlorob...
