چکیده انگلیسی
We present a microscopic and electronic investigation of the polymeric anode poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) used as an electrode in photovoltaic and single carrier diodes. PEDOT:PSS is processed from aqueous solution as a colloidal dispersion with excess PSS present. We modify the PEDOT:PSS solution by the addition of a high boiling point alcohol, glycerol, which is known to increase the conductivity of the spin-coated film. Atomic force microscopy indicates swelling and greater aggregation of the PEDOT-rich colloidal particles found in this system. Current-voltage characteristics of 'hole-transporting' diodes, formed with gold contacts, suggest less surface enrichment of PSS in the glycerol modified electrode. Through Kelvin probe microscopy, we find the surface potential of glycerol modified PEDOT:PSS decreases by approximately 0.12Â eV, which we assign to a reduction in surface enrichment by PSS. Photovoltaic diodes, using a PFB:F8BT polymer blend as the photo-active layer, and glycerol modified PEDOT:PSS anodes are significantly improved as compared to those with unmodified PEDOT:PSS anodes. This is likely to be due to improved hole-injection from the active polymer film into the PEDOT:PSS anode. This emphasises the electronic consequences of the morphological reorientation of the PEDOT and PSS.
