Abstract
In the three-layer Langmuir-Schaefer films consisting of a monolayer of donor-acceptor phtalocyanine-fullerene dyad molecules (Bu 3 ProM 2 F) and two layers of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (PHT), placed into an electrochemical cell, the electric current resulted from optical excitation of sampleswas measured with no external voltage source. Samples were excited by the xenon lamp light passed through amonochromator or by a source simulating the solar spectrum. It was shown that the current density in samples reached 40–50 µA/cm2 in the latter case. Current-voltage characteristics of samples were measured. Photovoltaic responses of three-layer structures were studied by the time-resolved Maxwell displacement charge method. The preferred orientation of dyad molecules in the film was demonstrated.
