The improvement of the acetone-soaking treatment to the performance of polymer solar cells based on the P3HT/PCBM bulk heterojunction is reported. Undergoing acetone-soaking, the PCBM does not distribute uniformly in the vertical direction, a PCBM enrichment layer forms on the top of the active layer, which is beneficial to the collec- tion of the carriers and blocking the inverting diffusion carriers. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） analysis reveals that the PCBM weight ratio on the top of the active layer increases by 20% after the acetone-soaking treatment. Due to the nonuniform distribution of PCBM, the short-circuit current density, the open-circuit voltage, and the fill factor are enhanced significantly. Finally, the power conversion efficiency of the acetone-soaking device increases by 31% compared with the control device.
In this paper,the pentacene-based organic field-effect transistors(OFETs)with poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA)as gate dielectrics were fabricated,and the effects of gate dielectric thickness and semiconductor thickness on the device performance were investigated.The optimal PMMA thickness is in the range of 350–400 nm to sustain a considerable current density and stable performance.The device performance depends on the thicknesses of the active layer non-monotonically,which can be explained by the morphology of the pentacene film and the position of the conducting channel in the active layer.The device with a pentacene thickness of 50 nm shows the best performance,which has a maximum hole mobility of 1.12 cm2/V·s.In addition,the introduction of a thin layer of tris-(8-hydroxyquinolinato)aluminum(Alq3)to the OFETs as a light-emitting material greatly decreases the device performance.
We report on white organic light-emitting diodes （WOLEDs） based on polyvinylcarbazole （PVK） doped with 1,1-bis（（di-4-tolylamino）phenyl）cyclohexane （TAPC） and perylene, and investigate the luminescence mechanism of the devices. The chromaticity of light emission can be tuned by adjusting the concentration of the dopants. White light with the Commission Internationale de L＇Eclairage （CIE） coordinates of （0.33, 0.34） is achieved by mixing the yellow electromer emission of TAPC and the blue monomer emission of perylene from the device ITO/PVK： TAPC： perylene （100：9：1 in wt.） （100 nm）/tris-（8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum （Alq3） （10 nm）/A1. The device exhibits a maximal luminance of 3727 cd/m2 and a current efficiency of 2 cd/A.
