Abstract
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 1 Elsevier Science B.V.
