Research Abstract |
In the thin film of one-dimensional polymer phthalocyanine GaPcF deposited on ITO substrate, the polymer axes usually lie parallel to the substrate. In the present study, however, it has been succeeded to obtain a highly ordered alignment in which the polymer axes stand on the substrate. This made it possible to produce an organic thin film solar cells with no bottleneck for hole transport. However, the solar cells thus produced showed no improvement in the photovoltaic characteristics. This suggests that the resistance at the surface of the GaPcF film was increased by the alignment.
