Herein, we demonstrate polymer/insulator blends exhibiting favorable miscibility that improves the transparency and carrier transport in an organic field-effect transistor (OFET) device. The mesoscale structures leading to more efficient charge transport in ultrathin films relevant to the realization of transparent and flexible electronic applications are explored based on thermodynamic material interaction principles, in conjunction with optical and morphological studies. By blending the commodity polymer polystyrene (PS) with two high-performing polymers, PDPP3T and P(NDI2OD-T2) (known as N2200), a drastic difference in morphology and fiber network are observed due to considerable differences in the degree of thermodynamic interaction between the conjugated polymers and PS. Intrinsic material interaction behavior establishes a long-range intermolecular interaction in the PDPP3T polymer fibrillar network dispersed in the majority (80%) PS matrix resulting in a ca. 3-fold increased transistor hole mobility of 1.15 cm2V-1s-1 (highest = 1.5 cm2V-1s-1) as compared to the pristine material, while PS barely affects the electron mobility in N2200.

In organic films, charge transport is crucially limited by film microstructure and the nature of the substrate/organic interface interactions. In this report, we discuss the influence of active layer thickness on space-charge limited hole transport in pristine polymer and polymer/fullerene bulk heterojunction thin films (∼15-300 nm) in a diode structure. According to the results, the out-of-plane hole mobility in pristine polymers is sensitive to the degree of polymer chain aggregation. Blending the polymers with a fullerene molecule does not change the trend of hole mobility if the polymer tends to make an amorphous structure. However, employing an aggregating polymer in a bulk heterojunction blend gives rise to a marked difference in charge carrier transport behavior compared to the pristine polymer and this difference is sensitive to active layer thickness. In aggregating polymer films, the thickness-dependent interchain interaction was found to have direct impact on hole mobility. The thickness-dependent mobility trend was found to correspond well with the trend of fill factors of corresponding bulk heterojunction solar cells.

In this work towards eco-friendly processing, we use water as a solvent in the preparation of the photo-active layer for hybrid solar cells. We demonstrate eco-friendly hybrid polymer/titania solar cells consisting of water soluble polythiophene as light-absorber, donor and Hole Transporting Layer (HTL), above a TiO2 layer that acts as an acceptor and electron conductor. The water soluble conjugated polymer materials are studied in terms of their opto-electrical and morphological properties, leading to a better understanding of the resulting photovoltaic performance. An alternative new processing method in device preparation is introduced; yielding prototype solar cells with an efficiency of 0.7%.

PCBM and BTPF70 are electron acceptor and transporting molecules in polymer based solar cells. The BTPF70 has emerged as a new electron acceptor molecule that provides adequate exciton dissociation when blended with the low band gap polyfluorene copolymer APFO-Green1. Electron transport in both net PCBM and BTPF70 films are subjected to positional and energetic disorder, with the degree of disorder being more pronounced in BTPF70. On the other hand, mixing PCBM with conjugated polymers usually leads to increased hole mobility. We have investigated and compared the acceptor concentration dependence of charge transport in APFO-Green1/PCBM and APFO-Green1/BTPF70 blend films. For better understanding of the charge transport in the heterojunction films, the field and temperature dependence of hole transport in pure APFO-Green1 films has also been studied. It is observed that the behavior of hole mobility in the blend layer is sensitive to the acceptor type. For APFO-Green1/PCBM hole only devices, the hole mobility attains a local maximum at 67 wt.% of PCBM, while on the contrary mixing any amount of BTPF70 with APFO-Green1 results into degradation of hole transport.

As an active layer, thin film of a bulk heterojunction of polyfluorene copolymer poly[2,7-(9,9-dioctyl-fluorene)-alt-5,5-(4′,7′-di-2thienyl-2′,1′3′-benzothiadiazole)] (APFO-3) and an electron acceptor molecule [6], [6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) (1:4 wt.) was sandwiched between the two transparent polymer electrodes. The cathode is another form of PEDOT formed by vapor phase polymerised PEDOT (VPP PEDOT) of conductivity 102–103 S/cm. The cathode is supported on an elastomeric substrate, and forms a conformal contact to the APFO-3/PCBM blend. Transparent solar cells are useful for building multilayer and tandem solar cells.}, number={16-17}, journal={Synthetic Metals}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Gadisa, Abay and Tvingstedt, Kristofer and Admassie, Shimelis and Lindell, L. and Crispin, X. and Andersson, Mats R. and Salaneck, W.R. and Inganäs, Olle}, year={2006}, month={Aug}, pages={1102–1107} }

In this work, the open-circuit voltage (Voc) of solar cells based on series of conjugated polythiophene polymers were measured and compared. In every cell, the donor polymer was blended with an electron acceptor fullerene molecule. The devices were constructed in a sandwich structure with indium tin oxide (ITO)/metallic polymer (PEDOT:PSS) acting as an anode and Al or LiF/Al acting as a cathode. Comparing the Voc of all the cells shows that this important photovoltaic parameter is systematically varying with the polymer. The variation of photovoltage is attributed to the variation of the oxidation potential of the donor conjugated polymers after due consideration of the different injection conditions in the varying polymers.}, number={9}, journal={Applied Physics Letters}, publisher={AIP Publishing}, author={Gadisa, Abay and Svensson, Mattias and Andersson, Mats R. and Inganäs, Olle}, year={2004}, month={Mar}, pages={1609–1611} }

The buffer layers were constructed from different forms of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly(styrenesulfonate)(PEDOT-PSS). Variations in open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, and fill factor were observed. These were attributed to the slight rearrangement of the insulating layer PSS on top of PEDOT, which altered the charge injection at the interface between anode and photoactive layer.}, number={19}, journal={Applied Physics Letters}, publisher={AIP Publishing}, author={Zhang, F.

We report the effects of prolonged storage at elevated temperatures on both the morphology and the photovoltaic performance for the model systems MDMO-PPV:PCBM and P3HT:PCBM as compared to ‘High Tg PPV’:PCBM based solar cells, where the ‘High Tg PPV’ is characterized by its high glass transition temperature (138 °C). In situ monitoring of the photocurrent–voltage characteristics at elevated temperatures, in combination with a systematic transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study and complementary optical spectroscopy, reveals distinct degradation kinetics and morphological changes that indicate the occurrence of different underlying physico-chemical mechanisms.}, author={Bertho, Sabine and Janssen, Griet and Cleij, Thomas J. and Conings, Bert and Moons, Wouter and Gadisa, Abay and Haen, d' and Goovaerts, Etienne and Lutsen, Laurence and Manca, Jean and et al.} }
