Polymer solar cells (PSCs) are composed of a blend film of conjugated polymer donor and soluble fullerene derivative acceptor sandwiched between an ITO transparent electrode and a metal electrode. PSCs have drawn broad research interests in recent years, due to their advantages of simple device structure, low cost, light weight and possibility to fabricate flexible devices. The donor and acceptor materials in the devices play the crucial role for the photovoltaic performance of the PSCs. In this article, recent progress of the conjugated polymer donor and fullerene acceptor materials is reviewed. Furthermore, the conjugated polymer acceptor materials and D-A double cable polymer photovoltaic materials are also introduced briefly. In the introduction of conjugated donor materials, the emphasis is put in the polythiophene derivatives and benzothiodiazole-containing narrow bandgap D-A copolymers.
