摘要
Organic p-n bilayer photodiodes were produced by solution casting poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) from chlorobenzene and phenyl-C-61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM):poly(4-chlorostyrene) (PClS) blends from the nearly orthogonal solvent dichloromethane onto flexible indium tin oxide (ITO)/polyester as a substrate. This is the first demonstration of PCBM-inert polymer blends for such a device. The electron mobility of a 90% PCBM-10% PClS blend was 3.5 x 10(-3) cm(2)/V s in a field-effect transistor. The diodes showed a rectification ratio of 2.0 x 10(3) at +/- 2.0 V with a forward bias current density as high as 340 mu A/cm(2) at 2.0 V in the dark. Irradiation with various light sources (0.013-291 mW/cm(2)) under ambient atmosphere generated a linear increase in photocurrent. Photodiodes with thinner active layers showed larger photocurrent and relative photoresponse, probably because of lower series resistance and lower recombination probability. The reverse bias response was less dependent on device area than the forward bias response. Photocurrents from multiple devices in parallel were additive as expected. The results demonstrate a simple fabrication route to light detectors compatible with solution processes and flexible substrates. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
