Great advances have been made in the development of conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPEs), which provide tunable properties including water solubility and processability, main-chain exciton and charge transport, variable energy light absorption and fluorescence, non-covalent interactions, and formation of tertiary structures via self-assembly.[1] These characteristics allow CPEs to be considered for use in various optoelectronic applications, including photovoltaics. Our ability to control a desired characteristic, however, is limited by the current knowledge available in terms of structure-property relationships (e.g. optical, mechanical, and electronic properties). In this talk, we will discuss our recent efforts toward understanding various aspects of CPEs at the molecular and polymeric level that determine the feasibility of our systems to work as light harvesting components of photovoltaic systems.
