We report the results of a combined grazing incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS) and four-dimensional scanning transmission microscopy (4D-STEM) analysis of the effects of thermal processing on poly(3[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy]-methylthiophene- 2

Magnetic Field Sensor Based on a OLED/Organic Photodetector Stack

August 1, 2023
Author(s)
Sebastian Engmann, Emily Bittle, David Gundlach
In this study a novel, all organic magnetic field sensor is presented based on an organic light emitting diode (OLED) and organic photodetector (OPD) with a maximum field sensitivity comparable to commercial Hall-sensors. The sensor function is driven by

Quantitative relationships between film morphology, charge carrier dynamics, and photovoltaic performance in bulk-heterojunction binary vs. ternary acceptor blends

February 7, 2023

Weigang Zhu, Guoping Li, Subhrangsu Mukherjee, Natalia Powers-Riggs, Leighton Jones, Eliot Gann, R Joseph Kline, Andrew Herzing, Jenna Logsdon, Lucas Flagg, Charlotte Stern, Ryan Young, Kevin Kohlstedt, George Schatz, Dean DeLongchamp, Michael Wasielewski, Ferdinand Melkonyan, Antonio Facchetti, Tobin Marks
Addressing pertinent and perplexing questions regarding why nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs) promote higher power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) than traditional fullerenes and how photoactive bulk heterojunction (BHJ) film morphology, charge photogeneration

Fast Near-Infrared Photodetection using III-V Colloidal Quantum Dots

June 29, 2022

Lee J. Richter, Bin Sun, Amin M. Najarian, Chao Zheng, Laxmi K. Sagar, Min-Jae Choi, Xiyan Li, Larissa Levina, Se-Woong Baek, Seungjin Lee, Ahmad R. Kirmani, Jehad Abed, Mengxia Liu, Peicheng Li, Oleksandr Voznyy, Zheng H. Lu, F. Pelayo G. de Arquer, Edward H. Sargent
Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are promising materials for IR light detection due to their tunable bandgap and their solution processing; however, to date, the time response of CQD IR photodiodes has been inferior to that provided by Si and InGaAs. We

In-situ studies of the swelling by electrolyte in the electrochemical doping of an ethylene glycol substituted polythiophene

June 13, 2022
Author(s)
Lee J. Richter, Lucas Flagg, Lauren Asselta, Nicholas D'Antona, Natalie Stingelin, Tommaso Nicolini, Jonathan Onorato, Christine Luscombe, Ruipeng Li
Organic mixed ionic electronic conductors (OMIECs) have the potential to enable diverse new technologies, ranging from biosensors to flexible energy storage devices and neuromorphic computing platforms. However, study of these materials in their operating

Non-fullerene acceptors with direct and indirect hexa-fluorination afford > 17% efficiency in polymer solar cells

December 22, 2021
Author(s)
Subhrangsu Mukherjee, Guoping Li, Liang-Wen Feng, Leighton Jones, Robert Jacobberger, Wei Huang, Ryan Young, Robert Pankow, Weigang Zhu, Norman Lu, Kevin Kohlstedt, Vinod Sangwan, Michael Wasielewski, Mark Hersam, George Schatz, Dean DeLongchamp, Antonio Facchetti, Tobin Marks
The rational molecular design of non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) in organic solar cells (OSCs) can profoundly influence the photovoltaic (OPV) performance. To date, NFA fluorination has proven beneficial to cell performance. However, there is a lack of

Systematically Controlling Acceptor Fluorination Optimizes Hierarchical Morphology, Vertical Phase Separation, and Efficiency in Non-Fullerene Organic Solar Cells

Author(s)
Guoping Li, Xiaohua Zhang, Subhrangsu Mukherjee, Wei Huang, Ding Zheng, Liang-Wen Feng, Yao Chen, Jianglin Wu, Vinod Sangwan, Mark Hersam, Dean DeLongchamp, Junsheng Yu, Antonio Facchetti, Tobin Marks
Non-fullerene acceptor (NFA) end group (EG) functionalization, especially by fluorination, affects not only the energetics but also the morphology of bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) organic solar cell (OSC) active layers, thereby influencing the power conversion

Side Chain Engineering Control of Mixed Conduction in Oligoethylene Glycol-Substituted Polythiophenes

August 31, 2021
Author(s)
Jonathan Onorato, Zhongyang Wang, Yangyang Sun, Christian Nowak, Ban Dong, Lucas Flagg, Ruipeng Li, Lee J. Richter, Fernando Escobedo, Paul Nealey, Shrayesh Patel, Christine Luscombe
A major limitation for polymeric mixed ionic/electronic conductors (MIECs) is the trade-off between ionic and electronic conductivity; changes made that improve one typically hinder the other. In order to address this fundamental problem, this work

The role of orientation in the MEL response of OLEDs

July 13, 2021
Author(s)
Sebastian Engmann, Emily Bittle, Lee J. Richter, Rawad Hallani, John Anthony, David J. Gundlach
Magneto electroluminescence (MEL) is emerging as a powerful tool for the study of spin dynamics in emitting devices. The shape of the MEL response is typically used to draw qualitative inference on the dominant process (singlet fission or triplet fusion)
