Definitions

  • top means furthest away from the substrate, while “bottom” means closest to the substrate.
  • intervening layers for example, if a first layer is “on” or “over” a second layer), unless it is specified that the first layer is “in physical contact with” or “directly on” the second layer; however, this does not preclude surface treatments ⁇ e.g., exposure of the first layer to ultraviolet-ozone or a plasma).
  • a first HOMO or LUMO energy level is "greater than” or “higher than” a second HOMO or LUMO energy level if the first energy level is closer to the vacuum energy level 10.
  • a higher HOMO energy level corresponds to an ionization potential ("IP") having a smaller absolute energy relative to a vacuum level.
  • a higher LUMO energy level corresponds to an electron affinity (“EA”) having a smaller absolute energy relative to vacuum level.
  • IP ionization potential
  • EA electron affinity
  • the substrate 1 10 may be any suitable substrate that provides desired structural properties.
  • the substrate may be flexible or rigid, planar or non-planar.
  • the substrate may be transparent, translucent or opaque.
  • Rigid plastics and glass are examples of preferred rigid substrate materials.
  • Flexible plastics and metal foils are examples of preferred flexible substrate materials.
  • a photoactive region includes a mixed layer (153) or bulk layers (252, 254) and one or both of the donor (152) and acceptor layers (154), the photoactive region is said to include a "hybrid" heterojunction.
  • the arrangement of layers in FIG. 4 is an example.
  • Published U.S. Patent Application 2005/0224113 A1 entitled “High efficiency organic photovoltaic cells employing hybridized mixed-planar heterojunctions" by Jiangeng Xue et al., published October 13, 2005, is hereby incorporated by reference.
  • R SA increases by a factor of approximately 7 for a cell only twice as thick indicates that the nanocrystalline region is not completely free of bottlenecks to charge conduction.
  • multilayers with fewer periods show only a 2 to 3 times increase in R SA , suggesting that disorder increases significantly only for the deepest stacks.
