Abstract

ABSTRACTWe present electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) and fluorescence lifetime mapping of MEH-PPV/PCBM thin films. The ECL results show that the oxidation peak of MEH-PPV near 0.7 V (vs. SCE) and ECL response of films shifted positively towards 1.2 V in the presence of PCBM. At the same time, the oxidation current density of MEH-PPV increases along with the decrease of ECL intensity in the presence of PCBM. The fluorescence lifetime images clearly show that the lifetime spatial heterogeneities are affected by different substrates and MEH-PPV/PCBM ratios. Meanwhile, the lifetime of MEH-PPV decreases with the increasing of film thickness. The lifetimes of MEH-PPV films on TiO2 substrate are lower than films on glass.
