Investigation Of Carrier Transit Motion In Pcdtbt By Optical Shg Technique, Shahino Mah Abdullah
Shahino Mah Abdullah
We analyze the carrier transit behavior in poly[N-9'-heptadecanyl-2,7-carbazole-alt-5,5-(4',7'-di-2-thienyl-2',1',3'-benzothiadiazole)] (PCDTBT), which has been reported as a donor material for efficient bulk hetero junction photovolatic devices. The transfer and transient carrier mobilities in the PCDTBT thin films have been measured and analyzed. The transfer mobility has been measured by the transfer curve of the OFET, whereas, the transient mobility is recorded using a time-resolved electric-field-induced optical second-harmonic-generation (TRM-SHG) technique. Using TRM-SHG technique, the dynamic motion of the charge carriers in the PCDTBT thin films has been directly visualized. We anticipate that the analysis of the carrier motion by TRM-SHG, will be effective …

An electrochemical cell using an organic compound, copper (II) phthalocyanine-tetrasulfonic acid tetrasodium salt (CuTsPc,) has been fabricated and investigated as a solution-based temperature sensor. The capacitance and resistance of the ITO/CuTsPc solution/ITO chemical cell has been characterized as a function of temperature in the temperature range of 25–80 °C. A linear response with minimal hysteresis is observed. The fabricated temperature sensor has shown high consistency and sensitive response towards a specific range of temperature values.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to study the optical and electrical characteristics of a single‐junction solar cell based on a green-color dye Vanadyl 2,9,16, 23-tetraphenoxy-29H, 31H-phthalocyanine (VOPcPhO). The use of soluble vanadyl phthalocyanine derivative makes it very attractive for photovoltaic applications due to its tunable properties and high solubility. Design/methodology/approach: A photoactive layer of VOPcPhO has been sandwiched between indium tin oxide (ITO) and aluminum (Al) electrodes to produce ITO/PEDOT:PSS/VOPcPhO/Al photovoltaic device. The VOPcPhO thin film is deposited by a simple spin coating technique. In order to obtain the optimal thickness for the solar cell device, different thicknesses …

Pi-conjugated organic semiconductors have long been used as either holes or electrons transport materials. Recently ambipolar charge carrier transport in these materials have been reported in many investigations. In this paper, we report on the basis of experimental results that the organic semiconductor (donor/acceptor) materials can be as good electrons transporters as these materials are holes transporters. In our study, the solution-processed unipolar diodes based on organic materials P3HT, VOPCPhO and their blends with PCBM have been fabricated. The I-V characteristics of these diodes have been analyzed in the space charge limited current regime. The values of the electron and …

We report an alternative approach to enhance the optical and electrical performance of a vanadyl 2,9,16,23-tetraphenoxy-29H,31H-phthalocyanine:poly(3hexylthiophene) (VOPcPhO:P3HT) blending system by integrating plasmonic spherical silver into an active layer of organic solar cells. Studies of the influence of the size distribution and optical properties of the silver nanoparticles were carried out using UV–Vis spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy, respectively. Electrical characteristics with and without the presence of metallic nanostructures were analyzed using J–V characteristics to observe the plasmonic effects on the performance in the VOPcPhO:P3HT organic solar cells.

In this paper, we report an organic bulk heterojunction photo-sensor that has been fabricated by using a composite of a polymer material poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) and a dye material vanadyl-phthalocyanine (VOPcPhO). The UV–Vis spectrum shows that this composite exhibits a broad absorption over the whole visible range. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of P3HT and VOPcPhO blend have been studied to optimize the ratio of P3HT and VOPcPhO. The photo-sensitivity has been investigated under different applied voltages in reverse direction. The photoconductivity sensitivity value has been calculated as 5.65 × 102 Sm/W. The photo-responsivity of the sensor has been investigated under 100 …

An organic compound Nickel (II) phthalocyanine-tetrasulfonic acid tetrasodium salt (NiTSPc) has been studied as a potential material for a solution based temperature sensor. Using NiTSPc, an ITO/NiTSPc solution/ITO chemical cell has been made and characterized in the temperature range of 20–85 ◦C. This sensor works on the principle of change in the resistance and capacitance of the chemical cell caused by the temperature variation. Good response/recovery and small hysteresis have been attained. The proposed sensor is aimed to evolve towards highly sensitive organic temperature sensor in a specific temperature range.
