T. Mikayama et al., Au/poly(3-methylthiophene)/10-(p-nitrobenzyl)-2(10H)-phenazinone/Al organic hetero-junction photovoltaic device, SOL EN MAT, 65(1-4), 2001, pp. 133-139
We proposed a novel concept of organic two-layer photovoltaic devices with
D-sigma -A molecule (Donor subunit-sigma bond-Acceptor subunit)/conducting
polymer heterojunction. Au/PMcT (poly(3-methylthiophene))/NBPN (10-(p-nitro
benzyl)-2(10H)-phenazinone)/Al was fabricated as a prototype of D-sigma -A/
polymer photovoltaic device. The power conversion efficiency of this photod
iode was 5.1 x 10(-2)% under white illumination (8.46 mW/cm(2)). This value
was larger than that of PMeT Schottky photodiode, This fact suggests that
the concept of D-sigma -A/polymer photovoltaic device is effective. (C) 200
