Abstract: | We demonstrate a small molecule solution processed hole interfacial layer approach to improve the dark current characteristics of polymer photodiodes. The two hole blocking materials under investigation 3-phenyl-4(1′-naphthyl)-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole (TAZ) and 2-3,5-bis(1-phenylbenzimidazol-2-yl)phenyl]-1-phenylbenzimidazole (TPBi) are spincoated from ethanol as an orthogonal solvent on top of a P3HT:PCBM active layer. We reduce the dark current at a bias voltage of −1 V by a factor of 17.2 by introducing a TAZ interfacial layer while keeping the responsivity unchanged. |
