Organic Nano‐Junctions: Linking Nanomorphology and Charge Transport in Organic Semiconductor Nanoparticles for Organic Photovoltaic Devices

Abstract: In this study, innovative nanoscale devices are developed to investigate the charge transport in organic semiconductor nanoparticles. Using different steps of lithography techniques and dielectrophoresis, planar organic nano‐junctions are fabricated from which hole mobilities are extracted in a space charge‐limited current regime. Subsequently, these devices are used to investigate the impact of the composition and morphology of organic semiconductor nanoparticles on the charge mobilities. Pure donor nanoparticles and composite donor:acceptor nanoparticles with different donor compositions in their shell are inserted in the nanogap electrode to form the nano‐junctions. The results highlight that the hole mobilities in the composite nanoparticles decrease by two‐fold compared to pure donor nanoparticles. However, no significant change between the two kinds of composite nanoparticle morphologies is observed, indicating that conduction pathways for the holes are as efficient for donor proportion in the shell from 40% to 60%. Organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices are fabricated from water‐based colloidal inks containing the two composite nanoparticles (P3HT:eh‐IDTBR and P3HT:o‐IDTBR) and no significant change in the performances is observed in accordance with the mobility results. Through this study, the performance of OPV devices have been succesfully correlated to the transport properties of nanoparticles having different morphology via innovative nanoscale devices.
