Enhanced Charge-Carrier Injection and Collection Via Lamination of Doped Polymer Layers p-Doped with a Solution-Processible Molybdenum Complex
Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) is p-doped by the new soluble dopant molybdenum tris[1-(methoxycarbonyl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)-ethane-1,2-dithiolene] and investigated via photoemission spectroscopy and transport measurements. Soft-contact transfer lamination of thin layers of the doped P3HT on undoped polymer layers is used to create spatially-confined doped regions, which serve as hole-injection contacts on P3HT diodes. This strategy is then used to create efficient hole-collecting contacts on solution-processed inverted polymer solar cells.
