Alternating and direct current characterization and photoinduced absorption studies of modified conjugated polymer thin films
Control of interchain separation enables the optical properties of polymer thin films to be altered. We present a thin film preparation technique that increases the free volume fraction in spin coated polymer thin films resulting in reduced interchain interaction. The polaron yield, measured using photoinduced absorption, was significantly reduced as a direct result of the increased interchain ...
متن کاملAmbipolar Charge Photogeneration and Transfer at GaAs/P3HT Heterointerfaces.
Recent work on hybrid photovoltaic systems based on conjugated polymers and III-V compound semiconductors with relatively high power conversion efficiency revived fundamental questions regarding the nature of charge separation and transfer at the interface between organic and inorganic semiconductors with different degrees of delocalization. In this work, we studied photoinduced charge generati...
متن کاملImproved electronic coupling in hybrid organic-inorganic nanocomposites employing thiol-functionalized P3HT and bismuth sulfide nanocrystals.
In this study, we employ a thiol-functionalized polymer (P3HT-SH) as a leverage to tailor the nanomorphology and electronic coupling in polymer-nanocrystal composites for hybrid solar cells. The presence of the thiol functional group allows for a highly crystalline semiconducting polymer film at low thiol content and allows for improved nanomorphologies in hybrid organic-inorganic systems when ...
متن کاملRecombination Dynamics in Thin-film Photovoltaic Materials via Time-resolved Microwave Conductivity.
A method for investigating recombination dynamics of photo-induced charge carriers in thin film semiconductors, specifically in photovoltaic materials such as organo-lead halide perovskites is presented. The perovskite film thickness and absorption coefficient are initially characterized by profilometry and UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy. Calibration of both laser power and cavity sensitivity i...
متن کاملUnravelling the mechanism of photoinduced charge transfer processes in lead iodide perovskite solar cells
Lead halide perovskites have recently been used as light absorbers in hybrid organic–inorganic solid-state solar cells, with efficiencies as high as 15% and open-circuit voltages of 1 V. However, a detailed explanation of the mechanisms of operation within this photovoltaic system is still lacking. Here, we investigate the photoinduced charge transfer processes at the surface of the perovskite ...
