  • Patent number: 10665800
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a solid solar cells, including the steps of providing a hole collector layer, applying a conductive layer onto the hole collector layer, applying an electron blocking layer onto the conductive layer, applying a sensitizer layer onto the electron blocking layer, applying a hole blocking layer onto the sensitizer layer, and providing a current collector and/or a metal layer or a conductor. The sensitizer layer including an organic-inorganic perovskite is applied by co-deposition of one or more sublimated divalent or trivalent salts and of one or more sublimated organic ammonium salts to obtain the organic-inorganic perovskite. The invention also relates to solid state solar cells, wherein the charge flow is inverted compared to the charge flow in a solar cell of conventional architecture and/or obtained by the above method.

  • Publication number: 20150303394
    Abstract: An organic electroluminescent device includes a substrate, a first electrode arranged on the substrate, and a functional organic layer arranged on the first electrode. The functional organic layer is adapted to emit electromagnetic radiation A second electrode is arranged on the functional organic layer. The functional organic layer includes a matrix material and an emitter material. The emitter material is neutral or ionically charged. The emitter material is selected from the group of ionic transition metal complex, neutral transition metal complex, polymer emitter and combinations thereof, wherein the matrix material comprises at least one ionic charge carrier transporting material, wherein the ionic charge carrier transporting material is selected from the group of electron-transporting material, hole-transporting material, ambipolar-transporting material and combinations thereof, and wherein the at least one ionic charge carrier transporting material is ionically charged.

  • Publication number: 20150208482
    Abstract: An organic electroluminescent device includes a substrate, a first electrode arranged on the substrate, and a functional organic layer arranged on the first electrode. The functional organic layer emits electromagnetic radiation. A second electrode is arranged on the functional organic layer. The functional organic layer includes at least one ionic component and one emitter material having a band gap. The emitter material is selected from the group of ionic transition metal complex, neutral transition metal complex, polymer emitter and combinations thereof. The organic electro-luminescent device is adapted to work in two modes, wherein a pre-biasing mode comprises applying a first voltage being a constant or pulsed value less than and/or equal to the band gap to the first and the second electrode.

  • Publication number: 20100044682
    Abstract: The present invention relates to charge injection from metallic conductors to semiconductor or insulation materials based on organic or inorganic molecules and macromolecules with electrical or optical properties, and specifically to a new charge injection layer for electro-optical devices comprising a polymer with conjugated units and a salt mixed with the aforementioned polymer, characterized in that the oxidation state of the polymer is not modified when it is mixed with the salt. Despite the fact that there is no change in the oxidation state of the polymer, the polymer and salt mixture according to the invention makes it possible for a high enough number of charges to reach the optically active layer, such that the efficiency in the charge injection process is increased up to levels exceeding even those provided by the standard PEDOT.
