“…Perylene diimide (PDI) dyes have drawn attention for many years as efficient dopants for transparent polymers due to their fluorescence properties as industrial pigments [14]. PDI is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C 20 H 12 ; the dye derivatives of this molecule have been studied for their range of useful properties including high stability, intense absorbance in the UV/visible range, high fluorescence quantum yield up to 100%, and being excellent n-type semiconductors [15,16,17,18,19]. These properties have led to the exploitation of perylenes in various applications such as organic field-effect transistors, thin-film transistors, complex supramolecular systems, and, increasingly, organic photovoltaics (OPVs) [20,21,22].…”
