Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing organic electronic devices including a dipyrannylidene film as an anodic interface layer, the method being carried out in a vacuum and without any exposure to air. The invention also relates to organic devices resulting from the method, more specifically to organic solar cells (OSC).
Claims20
A process for the manufacture of an organic electronic device, comprising at least the following stages:
- (i) the deposition by vacuum evaporation, on a substrate, of a film comprising at least one compound of following formula (I):
- in which:
- Xa and Xb, which are identical or different, are chosen from N, P, O, S, Se or Te atoms,
- R1, R2, R3 and R4, which are identical or different, represent a group chosen from aryl or heteroaryl rings having from 4 to 10 carbon atoms, said aryl or heteroaryl rings being optionally substituted by one or more halogen atoms or —OH, —CN, —NO2 groups, alkyl having from 1 to 30 carbon atoms, alkoxy —OCnH2n+1 or ester —C(O)OCnH2n+1 groups, in which 0≦n≦16,
- (ii) the deposition under an inert atmosphere of a photosensitive active layer,
- (iii) optionally, the annealing under an inert atmosphere of the photosensitive active layer deposited during stage (ii),
- (iv) the deposition under an inert atmosphere of an active layer for the dissociation of the excitons,
- (v) the deposition under an inert atmosphere of a layer acting as cathode electrode,
- said process being carried out with the exclusion of air, and wherein the organic electronic device has a power conversion efficiency greater than or equal to 3%.
