“…As a result an intense effort has been made towards the chemical modification of these molecules to make them soluble and inkjet-processable [119,120] and also towards the manufacturing of devices using them [121,122]. Exposure to moisture and oxygen results in degradation of the performance and lifetime reduction so the encapsulation of devices after printing is nowadays a standard step in the manufacturing of OLEDs [123,124]. …”

Inkjet printing, traditionally used in graphics, has been widely investigated as a valuable tool in the preparation of functional surfaces and devices. This review focuses on the use of inkjet printing technology for the manufacturing of different optical elements and photonic devices. The presented overview mainly surveys work done in the fabrication of micro-optical components such as microlenses, waveguides and integrated lasers; the manufacturing of large area light emitting diodes displays, liquid crystal displays and solar cells; as well as the preparation of liquid crystal and colloidal crystal based photonic devices working as lasers or optical sensors. Special emphasis is placed on reviewing the materials employed as well as in the relevance of inkjet in the manufacturing of the different devices showing in each of the revised technologies, main achievements, applications and challenges.

“…3 One of the main advantages of polymer semiconductors is their compatibility with flexible devices, as well as with solution-processed, large area deposition techniques. 4 In contrast with the PV field, exploitation of the optoelectronic properties of conjugated polymers for photoelectrochemical applications has been scarcely considered. 5−10 It is only very recently that polymer-based devices for photoelectrochemical hydrogen production have been reported by a few groups.…”

All Solution-Processed, Hybrid Organic–Inorganic Photocathode for Hydrogen Evolution

Nowadays, the efficient, stable, and scalable conversion of solar energy into chemical fuels represents a great scientific, economic, and ethical challenge. Amongst the available candidate technologies, photoelectrochemical water-splitting potentially has the most promising technoeconomic trade-off between cost and efficiency. However, research on semiconductors and photoelectrode architectures suitable for H 2 evolution has focused mainly on the use of fabrication techniques and inorganic materials that are not easily scalable. Here, we report for the first time an all solution-processed approach for the fabrication of hybrid organic/inorganic photocathodes based on organic semiconductor bulk heterojunctions that exhibit promising photoelectrochemical performance. The sequential deposition of inorganic material, charge-selective contacts, visible-light sensitive organic polymers, and earth-abundant, nonprecious catalyst by spin coating leads to state-of-the-art photoelectrochemical parameters, comprising a high onset potential [+0.602 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE)] and a positive maximum power point (+0.222 V vs RHE), a photocurrent density as high as 5.25 mA/cm 2 at 0 V versus RHE, an incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency at 0 V versus RHE of above 35%, and 100% faradaic efficiency for hydrogen production. The demonstrated all solution-processed hybrid photoelectrodes represent an eligible candidate for the scalable and low-cost solar-to-H 2 conversion technology that embodies the feasibility requirements for large area, plant-scale applications.

“…[3] [4] In a recent article, [5] we demonstrated that organic photodetectors based on poly (2,7-carbazole-alt-4,7-dithienyl-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole) (PCDTBT) and phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PC60BM) can reach excellent performances, both in terms of linear dynamic range, external quantum efficiency (EQE > 65% at -2V) and detectivity (D = 3.2 × 10 13 cm Hz 1/2 W −1 at 566 nm and −2 V). These results are essentially the consequence of the low dark current (0.3 nA cm −2 at −2 V) achieved thanks to the excellent control of energetic barriers at the electrodes.…”
