In organic optoelectronic devices, in particular organic solar cells and organic electroluminescent devices, reduction of impurities is a critical issue. A frequently used process for oligomers (small-molecules) is sublimation. We demonstrate that the sublimation process is effective to purify organic molecular compounds. Examples are shown for simplified device structures that allow easy evaluation of the impurity effect. New compact vacuum sublimation systems have been developed to process and handle material volumes in excess of 200 cm 3 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
