Organic semiconductors have received a lot of attention for novel, low cost electronic applications. Silicon or SiGe nanocrystals could be incorporated in such organic devices to tailor their physical properties. For example, hybrid organic/inorganic solar cells could benefit from the solution processing of the organic and inorganic components and from the broad absorption range of the non-toxic silicon.
We have investigated the charge transfer between Silicon nanocrystals (Si-nc) and organic semiconductors via light-induced electron spin resonance (LESR). Composites of Si-nc with the π-conjugated polymer poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) and with the fullerene derivate [6,6]-phenyl C-61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) have been probed with LESR. The LESR measurements show that a light-induced charge transfer between Si-nc and P3HT takes place, which results in a positive polaron on the P3HT. PCBM, in contrast, acts in composites with Si-nc as an electron acceptor and after illumination a long-living radical anion of PCBM can be detected.
