Red color light emitting diodes were fabricated using CdSe/CdS/ZnS quantum dots (QDs). Patterned indium-tin-oxide (ITO) was used as a transparent anode, and oxygen plasma treatment on a surface of ITO was performed. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) was spin coated on the ITO surface as a hole injection layer. Then CdSe/CdS/ZnS QDs was spin coated and thermal treatment was performed for the cross-linking of QDs. TiO2 was coated on the QDs as an electron transport layer, and 150 nm of aluminum cathode was formed using thermal evaporator and shadow mask. The device shows a pure red color emission at 606 nm wavelength. Device characteristics will be presented in detail.

Luminescence quenching reactions of photoexcited tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium (Ⅱ) complex cation, $Ru(bpy)_3\;^{2+}$, by dialkylviologens (dimethyl, dioctyl, dibenzyl, methyloctyl, methyldodecyl, and methylbenzyl) were studied in sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), poly(styrenesulfonate) (PSS), and poly(vinylsulfonate) (PVS) solutions. The relative quenching rate varies widely with the microheterogeneous media employed: the highest quenching rate is observed for methyldodecylviologen in homogeneous aqueous medium, dibenzylviologen in SDS and PVS solutions, and dimethylviologen in PSS solution; the lowest rate is found for dimethylviologen in homogeneous medium and SDS solution, methyldodecylviologen in PSS and PVS solutions. These results were interpreted in terms of reduction potential of viologens, affinity of $Ru(bpy)_3\;^{2+}$ and viologens to the microparticles, and the structures of the viologen-colloid complexes.

전도성 고분자인 poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) : poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT : PSS)는 우수한 전기 전도도와 광투과도, 유연성을 가지고 있기 때문에 유기태양전지와 유기발광소자의 투명전극으로서 많은 각광을 받고 있다. PEDOT : PSS의 전기 전도도는 솔벤트를 도핑함에 따라 큰 폭으로 증가한다는 사실은 잘 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 솔벤트의 도핑과 솔벤트 후처리 공정에 따른 PEDOT : PSS 박막의 전기 전도도와 구조적 특성 변화를 연구하였다. 솔벤트 도핑으로 PEDOT : PSS의 전도도는 884 S/cm까지 증가하였고, 후처리 공정을 통해서 1131 S/cm의 전도도 값을 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 전도도의 증가는 PSS 물질이 빠져나가거나 구조적인 재배열에 따른 전도성 PEDOT 입자의 접촉 면적이 증가함에 따른 것으로 사료되고, 광학적인 방법으로 PSS의 추출을 관찰하였다. 솔벤트 후처리 공정은 PEDOT : PSS 박막의 전도도를 향상하는 매우 효과적인 방법으로 확인되었고, 저가형 플렉서블 유기전자소자의 투명전극으로써의 사용이 적합할 것으로 예상된다.

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/$cm^2$).

Recently, bulk hetero-junction cells have been extensively studied by many researchers. Most of these cells were fabricated by spin coater. However, the spin coating process is not favorable to the large-scaled industry because it is not compatible with roll-to-roll process. One of the alternative methods is Doctor blading. In this study, we fabricated large OPV cells having total area of $100cm^2$. The buffer layer was Poly-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) : poly-(styrenesulfonate) aqueous dispersion (PEDOT:PSS) and the active material is poly (3-hexythiophene) (P3HT) and phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) blend in the solvent of Chlorobenzene. All of the organic layers were coated by dragging the blade with a speed of 5~20 mm/s on the stage with a temperature of $50^{\circ}C$. As-bladed PEDOT:PSS layer was baked at $120^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes to eliminate the water. The cell structure is patterned ITO substrate/PEDOT:PSS/P3HT:PCBM/LiF/Al. The topmost electrode, LiF/Al, was deposited by thermal evaporation. After depositing electrode, and the cell was annealed at $150^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. The measured ISC, VOC, fill factor, and PCE were 2.95 A, 5.86 V, 0.32, and 0.78%, respectively. PCE was quite low but the large active area could be obtained successfully.

유기태양전지는 가벼운 무게와 우수한 유연성을 가져 플렉서블 태양전지 및 롤투롤(Roll-to-roll) 인쇄 공정에 대한 적용 가능성 때문에 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 이종접합 유기태양전지를 상용화하기 위해서는 낮은 전력 변환 효율 (PCE)을 증진하는 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 간단한 용액공정을 통해 poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) 나노구조층을 사용하여 indium-tin-oxide 양극 전극/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) 정공수송층/P3HT 나노구조층/P3HT 복합체로 제작한 나노구조층/C60 전자수송층 /lithium quinolate 전자주입층/Al 음극 전극 구조의 유기태양전지를 제작하였다. 전류밀도-전압 곡선 결과는 P3HT 복합체 이용한 나노구조층를 가진 유기태양전지의 구조는 평면층을 가진 유기태양전지에 비해서 PCE가 향상됨이 관찰되었다. 유기태양전지는 짧은 엑시톤의 확산거리가 PCE 감소의 주요 원인이 된다. P3HT 복합체를 사용한 나노구조층을 가지는 유기태양전지는 광활성층과 전자수송층 사이의 계면이 넓어지는 효과를 가진다. 계면이 넓어지는 효과를 통해 생성된 엑시톤을 효율적으로 분리할 뿐만 아니라 더 많은 양의 전하를 생성할 수 있기 때문에 전하의 양이 증가되고 더 높은 전류를 생성하여 PCE를 효과적으로 높일 수 있다.

We have studied conduction mechanism that is interpreted in terms of space charge limited current (SCLC) region and tunneling region. The OLEDs are based on the molecular compounds, N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD) as a hole transport, tris (8- hydroxyquinolinoline) aluminum(III) $(Alq_3)$ as an electron injection and transport and emitting later, copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and poly(vinylcarbazole) (PVK) as a buffer layer respectively. Al was used as cathode. We manufactured reference structure that has in ITO/TPD/$Alq_3$/Al. Buffer layer effects were compared to reference structure. And we have analyzed out luminance efficiency-voltage characteristics in ITO/Buffer layer/TPD/$Alq_3$/Al with buffer-layer materials.

Current-voltage-luminance characteristics of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) were measured in the temperature range of 10 K～300 K. Indium-tin-oxide (ITO) was used as an anode and aluminum as a cathode in the device. Organic of N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-di(m-tolyl)-benzidine (TPD) was used for a hole transporting material, and tris (8-hydroxyquinolinato) aluminum (Alq$_3$) for an electron transporting material and emissive material. And copper phthalocyanine (CuPc), poly(3,4-ethylenedi oxythiophene);poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), and poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) were used for hole-injection buffer layers. From tile analysis of electroluminescence (EL) and photoluminesccnce (PL) spectra of the Alq$_3$, the EL spectrum is more greenish then that of PL. And the temperature-dependent current-voltage characteristics were analyzed in the double and multilayer structure of OLEDS. Electrical conduction mechanism was explained in the region of high-electric and low-electric field. Temperature-dependent luminous efficiency and operating voltage were analyzed from the current-voltage- luminance characteristics of the OLEDS.

We have investigated the effects of hole-injection buffer layer in organic light-emitting diodes using copper phthalocyanine (CuPc), poly(vinylcarbazole)(PVK), and Poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS) in a device structure of $ITO/bufferr/TPD/Alq_3/Al$. Polymer PVK and PEDOT:PSS buffer layer were produced using the spin casting method where as the CuPc layer was produced using thermal evaporation. Current-voltage characteristics, luminance-voltage characteristics and efficiency of device were measured at room temperature at various a thickness of the buffer layer. We observed an improvement in the external quantum efficiency by a factor of two, four, and two and half when the CuPc, PVK, and PEDOT:PSS buffer layer were used, respectively. The enhancement of the efficiency is assumed to be attributed to the improved balance of holes and elelctrons resulting from the use of hole-injection buffer layer. The CuPc and PEDOT:PSS layer function as a hole-injection supporter and the PVK layer as a hole-blocking one.

Nanocomposites of gold nanoparticles and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were prepared by electrostatic interaction. Gold nanopartic1es were stabilized by polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and poly(sodium-4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) in aqueous medium, and MWNTs were modified by poly(diallyldimethylammonium)chloride (PDDA) in water. The as-perpared Au-MWNT nanocomposites were structurally and electrically characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV/Vis spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and cyclo voltammetry (CV). UV/Vis spectra of Au-MWNT nanocomposites showed the characteristic surface plasmon bands in the range of ~515nm, depending on the stabilizers. There is only slight change on the band shape with variation of stabilizing agents for gold nanoparticles. Through FE-SEM and TEM images, the distribution of gold, nanoparticles on the sidewalls of MWNTs was deliberately investigated on Au-MWNT nanocomposites treated with different stabilizers. XPS and CV showed redistribution of electron densities and changes in the binding energy states of nanopartic1es in nanocomposite respectively.
