Abstract

The charge injection properties of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): polystyrene sulfonate anodes are crucial for performance of organic photovoltaics and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). A simple method for tuning hole injection efficiency using UV-ozone is shown to change anode work-function and optimized carriers balance in the devices and improved efficiency in OLEDs. The optimum time of treatment and work-function differs with device architecture. © 2010 American Institute of Physics.
