Role of Morphology of Surfactant-Free Nanoparticles in Organic Photovoltaics
摘要: Nanoparticulate (NP) ?lms and organic photovoltaic devices have been fabricated from poly(3-hexylthiophene):phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT:PC61BM) NP aqueous dispersions prepared by the precipitation method. The NP inks were stable for more than 4 days, and nanoparticle organic photovoltaic (NP-OPV) devices with ef?ciency (g) of 1% were fabricated. Detailed analysis of the morphology and performance of the precipitated NP-OPV devices indicated that an optimal blend is responsible for the photocurrent and ef?ciency observed. These results were con?rmed by grazing-incidence x-ray diffraction (GIXRD) analysis, which revealed that the precipitated NPs were resistant to thermal phase segregation, allowing thermal conditioning of the NP ?lms. These results show that precipitated NPs provide a pathway to thermally stable NP-OPV devices with higher photocurrents and ef?ciencies, approaching those of optimal bulk heterojunction (BHJ) OPV devices.

Nano-to-Microporous Networks via Inkjet Printing of ZnO Nanoparticles/Graphene Hybrid for Ultraviolet Photodetectors
摘要: Inkjet-printed photodetectors have gained enormous attention over the last decade. However, device performance is limited without post-processing, such as annealing and UV exposure. In addition, it is difficult to manipulate the surface morphology of the printed film using an inkjet printer due to the limited options of low viscosity ink solutions. Here, we employ a concept involving the control of the inkjet-printed film morphology via modulation of co-solvent vapor pressure and surface tension for the creation of a high-performance ZnO-based photodetector on a flexible substrate. The solvent boiling point across different co-solvent systems is found to affect the film morphology, which results in not only distinct photo-response time but also photo-detectivity. ZnO-based photodetectors were printed using different solvents which display a fast photo-response in low-boiling point solvents due to the low carbon residue and larger photo-detectivity in high-boiling point solvent systems due to the porous structure. The porous structure is obtained using both gas-liquid surface tension differences and solid-liquid surface differences, and the size of porosity is modulated from nano-size to micro-size depending on the ratio between two solvents or two nanomaterials. Moreover, the conductive nature of graphene enhances the transport behavior of the photocarrier, which enables a high-performance photodetector with high photo-responsivity (7.5*102 AW-1) and fast photo-response (0.18 s) to be achieved without the use of high-boiling point solvents.
