Abstract

The photovoltaic and photocurrents properties of the conjugated polymer photo diodes are reported. The photovoltaic devices were fabricated with a layer of poly(para-phenylene-co-2,5-dialkoxy phenylene-vinylene), (PPV-co-DAOPV) sandwiched between indium tin oxide (ITO) and aluminium electrodes. Under illumination, the devices exhibited large photo currents compared to the dark currents, showing a great potential application as a photodetector. The influence of alkoxy side chain length (methoxy to hexadecyloxy) of PPV-co-DAOPV on photovoltaic devices has been investigated. The quantum efficiency of the short-circuit photo current under 0.25 mW/cm² illumination at 2.48 eV drops by an order of magnitude from about 0.3% for the polymer with the shortest side chains to about 0.03% for the polymer with the longest side chains. We consider that this is primarily a reduction in the efficiency of the exciton dissociation.
