Molecular Design of Near-IR Dyes with Different Surface Energy for Selective Loading to the Heterojunction in Blend Films
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have synthesized three silicon phthalocyanine dyes with different hydrophobic substituents in order to control surface energy in the solid state, aiming at selective loading of the dyes into blend films of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and polystyrene (PS). These three dyes are differently located at P3HT domains, at P3HT/PS interface, and at PS domains, respectively, which are fully consistent with the locations predicted by the wetting coefficient derived from the surface energy of each material.

Cyanine dyes with absorption edges of almost 1000 nm were used in combination with MEH-PPV for the fabrication of organic solar cells. For blended thin films, a pronounced phase separation between the two components occurred and resulted in photocurrents with different signs for bilayer and bulk heterojunction devices. Absorption spectra and selective dissolution experiments were used to illust...
