Abstract
Recently, head-to-tail regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) has been widely used as an active material in fabricating polymer optoelectronic devices. This study employs UV-vis absorption, photoluminescence (PL), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the space-charge limited current (SCLC) model to elucidate the effect of light illumination on the optic and optoelectronic properties of P3HT. The degraded performance of P3HT, such as low absorbance, PL emission, and charge-carrier mobility is caused mostly by a reduction in the degree of conjugated structure and the lower crystallinity.
