摘要
The photophysical properties of thin films of poly[2-methoxy-5-(2'-ethyl-hexyloxy), para-phenylene vinylene] (MEH-PPV) on TiO2 substrates have been investigated. Evidence for dissociation of excitons at the MEH-PPV/TiO2 interface and electron injection into the conduction band of TiO, has been found from current/voltage characteristics. The open circuit voltage is to 0.92 V for these cells and an energy conversion efficiency of 0.15% is found for white light. Capacitance measurements follow the Mott-Schottky relationship and reveal an acceptor density of N-A approximate to 9 X 10(17) cm(-3) for the polymer layers. From analysis of the luminescence as a function of the film thickness, an exciton diffusion length of 20 +/- 3 nm for MEH-PPV is derived. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
