Abstract
The photoelectrical properties of the system ITO/poly(4,4″-dipenthoxy-3′-dodecyl-2,2′:5′,2″-terthiophene)/aluminium are strongly dependent on the electrochemical preparation parameters of the polymer. In particular the polymerization temperature has a significant influence on the photoelectronic characteristics of polymer. The best properties were attained with polymers prepared at higher temperatures (32–40 °C).
