Abstract

An organic p-n homojunction has been successfully constructed in a single strip of poly(3-methylthiophene) (PMT) film by electrochemical cation doping on one side and photosensitized anion doping on the other side. The rectifying effect observed with the Al/(cation:anion)-doped PMT/Au cell provides evidence for the formation of a p-n homojunction in the PMT film since both Al/cation-doped PMT/Al and Au/anion-doped PMT/Au cells exhibit ohmic behavior. The formation of p-n homojunction can be inferred from measured work functions of the electrochemically cation-doped PMT, photochemically anion-doped PMT, Al and Au films. The p-n homojunction cell yields a short-circuit photocurrent of 0.16 µ A· cm-2, an open-circuit photovoltage of 0.23 V and a fill factor of 0.30. These voltaic and photovoltaic properties are found to be superior to those of the polymer diode based on a p-n junction made by pressure contact of the p-doped PMT film with the n-doped PMT film.
