Abstract: | Photovoltaic devices based on poly-2′,5′-dioctyl-4,4′′-terphenylenecyanovinylene (J-domain) and 4-aza-4-(4′-(poly-2′,5′-dioctyl-4,4′′-terphenylene-1-cyanovinylene-2-yl)biphen-4-yl)-8,12-dioxa-4,8,12,12c-tetrahydrodibenzo[cd,mn]pyrenium tetrafluoroborate (JA-assembly) were prepared using indiumtinoxide (ITO) as the transparent electrode and aluminium as the second electrode. While the photovoltaic response of the J-domain exhibited low short circuit currents of −0.1 nA cm−2, the corresponding short circuit current of the JA-assembly was observed to be +10 nA cm−2. The 100-fold increase in magnitude was related to the known energy transfer from the J-domain to the A-domain in the JA-assembly, and the inversion of the sign of the photovoltaic response that implies that the electrodes have a reversed polarity was explained on the basis of the positions of the energy levels and involves the action of the A-domain as a blocking layer and a light operated charge pump that efficiently transfers electrons to the ITO electrode. |
