研究目的
To estimate the interfacial barrier height of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) coated glass/Malachite Green (MG) dye/Aluminium (Al) based organic device and observe the effect of carboxylfunctionalized SWCNT (COOH-SWCNT) on the interfacial barrier height.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that the presence of COOH-SWCNT reduces the interfacial barrier height of MG dye based organic devices, leading to better charge injection and higher conductivity. Both the Richardson-Schottky model and Norde’s Method showed consistent results, indicating the reliability of the findings.
研究不足
The study is limited to the effect of COOH-SWCNT on the interfacial barrier height of MG dye based organic devices. The findings may not be directly applicable to other organic materials or device configurations.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved preparing organic devices with and without COOH-SWCNT using spin coating technique and measuring their steady state current-Voltage (I-V) characteristics to estimate the interfacial barrier height.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
MG dye and COOH-SWCNT were purchased from Finar Chemicals, Ahmedabad and Cisco Research Laboratories, India respectively.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
ITO coated glass, aluminium, MG dye, COOH-SWCNT, Poly Methyl Methacrylate (PMMA), Dichloromethane (DCM) solvent, spin coater, Keithley 2400 source measure unit.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The organic devices were prepared by spin coating the MG solution on ITO coated glass and aluminium electrodes, then sandwiching them together. The devices were kept in vacuum for 12 hours before characterization.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The interfacial barrier height was estimated using Richardson-Schottky (RS) model of thermionic emission and Norde’s Method.
