Ma. Angadi et al., CHARACTERIZATION OF PHOTOVOLTAIC CELLS USING POLY(PHENYLENEVINYLENE) DOPED WITH PERYLENEDIIMIDE ELECTRON-ACCEPTORS, Journal of applied physics, 83(11), 1998, pp. 6187-6189
The performance of a sandwich junction device based on doped 1,4-bis(2
-ethylhexyloxy)phenylenevinylene (BEH-PPV) is reported. The power conv
ersion efficiency is dependent on the doping level, external load, and
work function of the cathode. The increase in power conversion effici
ency (eta(e)=0.8%) is due to efficient charge separation resulting fro
m photoinduced electron transfer from the BEH-PPV donor to the perylen
e dicarboximide acceptor. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics. [S00
