We have investigated the effects of hole-injection buffer layer in organic light-emitting diodes using poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(stylenesulfonate)(PEDOT:PSS) in a device structure of $ITO/PEDOT:PSS/TPD/Alq_{3}/cathode$. Polymer PEDOT:PSS buffer layer was made by spin casting method. Current-voltage, luminance-voltage characteristics and efficiency of device were measured at room temperature with a variation of cathode materials; Al, LiF/Al, LiAl, and Ca/Al. The device with LiF/Al cathode shows an improvement of external quantum efficiency approximately by a factor of ten compared to that of Al cathode only device. Our observation shows that cathode is important in improving the efficiency of the organic light-emitting diodes.

Organic Light Emitting Diode(OLED), Optical Photovotaic Device(OPV)와 같은 유기소자에서 전극으로 적용되어지고 있는 Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) 박막의 유연성을 향상시키기 위하여 중간층으로 투명도(~80%)와 전도도(~1000 S/cm)가 우수한 PEDOT:PSS(PH1000)을 적용하였다. PEDOT:PSS(PH1000)의 적용으로 인하여 ITO 박막의 유연성이 현저히 개선됨과 동시에 PEDOT:PSS(PH1000)의 우수한 전도도로 인하여 보다 얇은 ITO의 두께에서도 우수한 면 저항(25 ${\Omega}/{\square}$ ~ 220 ${\Omega}/{\square}$) 및 비저항(3.75E-4 ${\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ ~ 4.40E-4 ${\Omega}{\cdot}cm$)의 값을 측정하였다.

PVA를 PEDOT : PSS에 첨가해줌으로써 CVD 그래핀 상에 효과적으로 코팅할 수 있었다. PVA의 검화도 및 분자량에 따른 코팅성 및 필름의 전기적 특성을 검토한 결과, DS는 89%, 분자량은 $100,000gmol^{-1}$ 이하인 것이 바람직하였다. 또한, PVA의 첨가량은 PEDOT : PSS의 고형분 대비 5%가 최적으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 PVA를 사용하여 PEDOT : PSS를 CVD 그래핀 위에 코팅한 필름은 CVD 그래핀 필름에 비해서 표면조도, 부착성, 굴곡 내구성 및 고온($160^{\circ}C$)에서의 저항 안정성 등이 현저하게 개선되는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper reports solution-processed, high-efficiency organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) fabricated by a knife coating method under ambient air conditions. In addition, indium tin oxide (ITO), traditionally used as the anode, was substituted by optimizing the conductivity enhancement treatment of poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) films on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate. The transmittance and sheet resistance of the optimized PEDOT:PSS anode were 83.4% and $27.8{\Omega}/sq$., respectively. The root mean square surface roughness of the PEDOT:PSS anode, measured by atomic force microscopy, was only 2.95 nm. The optimized OLED device showed a maximum current efficiency and maximum luminous density of 5.44 cd/A and $8,356cd/m^2$, respectively. As a result, the OLEDs created using the PEDOT:PSS anode possessed highly comparable characteristics to those created using ITO anodes.

Poly (carbonate diol), isophrone diisocyanate와 dimethylol propionic acid로부터 제조된 폴리우레탄 prepolymer의 말단 NCO 기를 aniline으로 capping시켜 aniline terminated waterborne polyurethane dispersion (ATPUD)을 합성하였다. 이 ATPUD와 순수한 waterborne polyurethane dispersion (PUD)을 각각 전도성 고분자인 polystyrene sulfonate로 도핑된 poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)[PEDOT/PSS]과 블렌딩시켜 대전방지용 코팅 용액을 제조한 후, 이것을 polycarbonate 기재 위에 도포하여 코팅 도막을 형성하였다. PEDOT/PSS가 2.5 g 이하로 적당량 첨가된 경우에는 ATPUD로 제조된 코팅 도막의 표면저항 값은 $1.0{\times}10^{11}{\sim}2.5{\times}10^8{\Omega/cm^2$로 순수한 PUD로부터 제조된 코팅 도막의 $5.0{\times}10^{11}{\sim}6.3{\times}10^9{\Omega}/cm^2$ 보다 우수한 전기전도도를 나타내었다. 그러나 PEDOT/PSS가 3.0 g으로 과량 첨가된 경우에는 ATPUD로부터 제조된 코팅 도막과 PUD로부터 제조된 코팅 도막은 비슷한 전기전도도를 나타내었다.

The PEDOT:PSS layer is usually used as hole transporting layer for the polymer bulk heterojunction solar cells. However, the interface between ITO and PEDOT:PSS is not stable and the chemical reaction between ITO and PEDOT can result in degraded device performance. We used the tungsten oxides as a hole transport layer by spin-coating. The $WO_3$ nanoparticles were well dispersed in ammonium hydroxide and deionized water and formed thin layer on the ITO anode. We found that $WO_3$ surface is more hydrophobic than the bare ITO or PEDOT:PSS-coated surfaces. The hydrophobic surfaces promote an ordered growth of P3HT films. A higher degree of P3HT ordering is expected to improve the hole mobility and the lifetime of the device using the tungsten oxide showed better stability compared to the device using the PEDOT:PSS.

The poor conductivity of poly (3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene): poly (styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) film hinders to use for a flexible electrode in solar cells. In this report we demonstrate that the conductivity of PEDOT:PSS film can be enhanced by modifying structures in a mixture of PEDOT: PSS aqueous solution and various organic solvents such as polar protic (2-propanol, methanol, ethanol, formic acid) and aprotic solvents (acetone and acetonitrile). To comparatively study the structural effects on the resulted electrical properties, the films are spin-coated on glasses and ITO. At the same time, a contact angle goniometer is used for clarifying a mechanism of wettability of PEDOT (hydrophobic) and PSS (hydrophilic) on the observed conductivity. The structures and electrical properties are investigated by FE-SEM (Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy), AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy), and 4-point probe, respectively.

It is widely accepted that short exciton diffusion lengths of organic semiconductors with respect to the film thickness limit the charge (hole and electron) separation before excitons recombination in organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells. Therefore the efficient absorption of incident light within the thin active organic layer is of great importance to improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the cells. In this work, we fabricated 2-dimensionally (2D) nano-patterned poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOST:PSS) layers using capillary phenomenon and nano-imprinting technology at the scale of several hundred nanometers. This 2D nano-patterned PEDOT:PSS layer exerted photonic crystal effect such as redirection of light paths and variation of light intensity at specified wavelengths. It is also expected that the consequently alternated light pass lengths and intensities change the absorption properties of zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) thin films grown on top of the nano-patterned PEDOT:PSS layer. The influence of conductivity and thickness of the PEDOT:PSS layer on the absorption properties of ZnPc thin films were also investigated.

We have fabricated organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs) with highly conductive poly 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene : poly styrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) layer as an anode without using transparent conducting oxide (TCO), which has been modified by adding some organic solvents like sorbitol (So), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), N-methyl-pyrrolidone (NMP), dimethylformamide (DMF), and ethylene glycol (EG). The conductivity of PEDOT:PSS film modified with each additive was enhanced by three orders of magnitude. According to atomic force microscopy (AFM) study, conductivity enhancement might be related to better connections between the conducting PEDOT chains. TCO-free solar cells with modified PEDOT:PSS layer and the active layer composed of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and phenyl [6,6] C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) exhibited a comparable device performance to indium tin oxide (ITO) based organic solar cells. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the organic solar cells incorporating DMSO, So + DMSO and EG modified PEDOT:PSS layer reached 3.51, 3.64 and 3.77%, respectively, under illumination of AM 1.5 (100mW/$cm^2$).

전도성 고분자인 PEDOT/PSS의 열적 안정성을 검토하기 위하여 바인딩 물질 없이 캐스팅하는 방법에 의해서 필름을 제조하고, $200^{\circ}C$에서 annealing하면서 표면저항의 변화를 검토하였다. PEDOT/PSS 필름은 열처리에 의해서 전기적 특성이 향상되었으며, 2 h 정도에서 최대 전도도값($540S{\cdot}m^{-1}$)을 나타내어 초기 값($180S{\cdot}m^{-1}$)에 비해서 3배 정도 높아졌다. 그러나 시간이 지남에 따라 전기전도도가 떨어지고, 24 h이 지난 이후에는 거의 전기적 특성을 나타내지 않았다. 한편, 산화 그래핀(GO)과 복합화한 PEDOT/PSS 필름에서는 열처리에 의한 전기적 특성의 향상이 더 뚜렷하였으며, $200^{\circ}C$에서 30 h 이상 보관하더라도 전기전도도가 $600S{\cdot}m^{-1}$ 정도를 유지하는 것으로 나타나, GO와의 복합화가 PEDOT/PSS의 열적 안정성을 현저하게 향상시키는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
