Using cathode interlayers for reducing the work function of electrodes in organic electronic devices is a widely studied method. Here, we report a simple procedure to obtain a self-organized interlayer on ITO electrodes from a blend solution of P(NDI2OD-T2) and PEI. Reduced contact resistance and increased polymer conductivity are observed due to vertical phase separation. Fermi level pinning of P(NDI2OD-T2) at PEI covered ITO electrodes leads to the lowest possible electron injection barrier. Furthermore, an increased charge carrier density was measured. Finally, we relate the increase in polymer conductivity to a reduction of interfacial electron trapping and a morphology change. The results show clearly the importance of differentiation between work function reduction upon interfacial layers and conductivity increase upon changes of structural conformation.
