Amino acids, as ubiquitous biological compounds, are effective in surface modification of indium tin oxide (ITO). The modified ITO reveals a work function decrease by up to 2.2 eV (i.e., from 4.7 2.5 eV), which makes the stable, transparent, and widley used cathode organic optoelectronic devices, such solar cells light-emitting diodes. As service our authors readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied authors. Such materials peer reviewed may be re-organized for online...
Abstract The functionality of interfaces in hybrid inorganic/organic (opto)electronic devices is determined by the alignment respective frontier energy levels at both sides heterojunctions. Controlling interface electronic landscape a key element for achieving favourable level and charge transfer processes. Here, it shown that properties polar ZnO surfaces can be reversibly modified using organic photochromic switches. By employing range surface characterization techniques combined with...
Light-switching-induced changes in the electronic properties of photochromic diarylethene, i.e., 1,2-bis(2-methyl-5-p-tolylthiophen-3-yl)cyclopent-1-ene (DAE1), thin films at interfaces to a gold electrode and two polymer semiconductors are investigated by direct inverse photoelectron spectroscopy. The photoisomerization is achieved situ irradiation ultraviolet visible light. Efficient reversible switching between open closed isomers DAE1 evidenced all interfaces, with profound impact on...
