Photovoltaic effects in organic solar cell were studied in a cell configuration of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/CuPc(20 nm)/$C_{60}$(40 nm)/BCP/Al(150 nm) at room temperature. Here, the BCP layer works as an exciton blocking layer. The exciton blocking layer must transport electrons from the acceptor layer to the metal cathode with minimal increase in the total cell series resistance and should absorb damage during cathode deposition. Therefore, a proper thickness of the exciton blocking layer is required for an optimized photovoltaic cell. Several thicknesses of BCP were made between $C_{60}$ and Al. And we obtained characteristic parameters such as short-circuit current, open-circuit voltage, and power conversion efficiency of the device under the illumination of AM 1.5.

본 논문의 목표는 유기태양전지의 재료적 특성중 반사율을 측정하여 가장 투명한 oranic solar cell을 제조하기 위한 기초자료를 도출하였다. 먼저 유기태양전지 재료중 일부인 PEDOT,PSS,MEH-PPV,P3HT를 수십 $\AA$ ~ 수백 $\AA$ 두께로 glass 기판위에 spin코팅하여 UV-VIS를 통해 파장열 반사 특성을 분석하였다. 또한, 동일한 시료를 사용하여 FESEM을 통한 표면 Morphology를 확인하였다. 최종적으로 가장 transparent 시료를 이용하여 oranic solar cell을 제작하여 efficiency와 reflectance characteristic를 측정하였다.

Conducting polymers and carbon nanomaterials offer a wide range of applications because of their unique soft conducting properties. Specifically, these conducting polymer-carbon nanocomposites have recently been utilized in bioengineering applications, partly because of their improved biocompatibility compared to conventional conducting materials such as metals and ceramics. Based on the assumption that these composites offer an important application potential as functional materials for biomedical devices or even as biomaterials, this review surveys the recent research trends on conducting polymers-carbon nanocomposites, focusing on bioengineering applications such as polyaniline (PANI), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) or PEDOT, polypyrrole (Ppy), and carbon nanotubes and graphene.

Inkjet printing is commonly used in depositing the solution of functional materials on the specific locations of a substrate, and also it can provide easy and fast patterning of polymer films over a large area. Inkjet printing is applicable to fabricating an organic light emitting diode (OLED), since conducting materials used as emissive electroluminescent layers can be manufactured into inks for ink jetting. By using the inkjet technology, we have succeeded in patterning a poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS) layer and a poly[2-Methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV) layer on the Indume tin oxide (ITO) patterned substrates, and fabricating organic light emitting diodes.

유기태양전지는 친환경 에너지 소스로써 저가 대량 생산이 가능하고 특히 유연한 기판에 적용이 가능하여 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 기존에 사용되는 indium tin oxide (ITO)의 사용으로 인한 유연성 부족으로 대체되는 투명전극의 개발이 요구되어지고 있다. 이로 인해 carbon nanotubes, graphene, thin metals, metal grids, and conducting polymers 등이 연구되고 있으며, 이중 Silver nanowires (Ag NWs)를 이용한 방식도 많은 관심과 함께 전기광학적 특성에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하지만 유기전자소자에 사용되기에는 몇 가지 문제점이 발생하는데 이를 해결하기 위한 노력이 다양하게 이루어지고 있다. 특히 다양한 물질의 혼합을 통해 개선하고자 하는 노력이 증가하고 있는데 적층구조의 전도성필름 형성을 통해 ITO-free OPVs에서 Ag nanowire를 transparent conductive electrodes로 활용하였다. Ag NWs층과 PEDOT:PSS layer의 복합화를 통해 저가의 ITO-free OPVs용 transparent anodes가 가능해졌다.

Red color light emitting diodes (LEDs) were fabricated using CdSe/CdZnS quantum dots (QDs). During the device fabrication process, oxygen plasma treatment on the ITO surface was performed to improve the interfacial contact between ITO anode and the hole injection layer. CdSe/CdZnS quantum dots were cross-linked to remove their surrounded organic surfactants. The device shows red emission at 622 nm, which is consistent with the dimension of the QDs (band gap=1.99 eV). The luminance shows 6026% improvement compared with that of LEDs fabricated without oxygen plasma treatment and quantum dots cross-linking process. This approach would be useful for the fabrication of high-performance QLEDs with ITO electrode and PEDOT:PSS hole injection layers.

A new 2,5-di(t-octylphenoxy) group substituted poly(p-phenylenevinylene) derivative was synthesized by Gilch polymerization. The obtained polymer was characterized by NMR, FT-IR, and chemical analysis and completely soluble in common organic solvents. The polymer showed good thermal stability with T$_{g}$ of 105$^{\circ}C$. The polymer dissolved in chloroform showed maximum emission at 514 nm with a shoulder peak at around 560 nm. The EL spectrum of the ITO/PEDOT/TOP-PPV/Al device was observed maximum emission at 545 nm with a shoulder peak at around 585 nm.m.

A photovoltaic cell of CuPc:P3HT:PCBM was introduced to extend the light absorption in the visible wavelength between 300~500 and 550~800 nm. By fabricating the photovoltaic cells of ITO / PEDOT:PSS / CuPc:P3HT:PCBM / BCP / Al with small-molecular and polymer donating materials blended layer, we demonstrated a high PCE of 4.20% with high Jsc of $10.05mA/cm^2$. This performance of photovoltaic cell with the blended layer of small-molecular and polymer can be competitive with that of tandem cells.

ITO (Indium-Tin Oxide)는 전기전도도, 가시광선투과도가 높으며, 패터닝하기 쉬운 장점을 가지나 Indium의 자원 고갈에 의한 재료비 상승의 문제점을 가지고 있어, 이를 대체하기 위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 ITO 대신 AZO (ZnO:Al)를 기판온도에 따라 마그네트론 DC 스퍼터를 이용하여 소다라임 글래스에 증착하여 투명전극의 전기, 광학적 특성을 분석하였다. 조건에 따라 증착된 AZO 투명전극위에 유기 태양전지 흡수층으로 Poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)와 (phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM)를 사용하였으며, Glass/AZO/P3HT:PCBM/PEDOT:PSS/Ag의 구조를 갖는 Inverted 유기 태양전지를 제작하여 ITO 투명전극에 제작된 유기태양전지와의 특성을 비교, 분석 하였다.
