Oxidative chemical vapor deposition for synthesis and processing of conjugated polymers: a critical review

Abstract

Oxidative chemical vapor deposition (oCVD) has developed progressively in the last two decades as a solvent-free (or dry) methodology for synthesis and thin film deposition of conjugated polymers. This method...

Surface plasmon resonance synergistic coupling effects of gold nanoparticulates with silver grating in P3HT: PC61BM-based organic solar cell

“…Localized domains with well-ordered crystal structures having face-on molecular orientations are usually a desirable characteristic that favors charge transfer and carrier mobility across the interface while edge-on orientations usually present a limitation of charge mobility across the interface in organic polymer solar cell applications. [27][28][29][30] These localized sites are also to a certain degree usually interfaced with other localized domains of various molecular orientations and packing order, where there exists the possibility of being interfaced with the neighboring adjacent layers (ZnO or MoO 3 , charge transport layers). As such, the localized sites experience different electrostatic and polarization effects at the interface.…”
