J Nanosci Nanotechnol. 2014 Mar;14(3):2515-9. doi: 10.1166/jnn.2014.8501.

Abstract

In this paper, we report synthesis and characterization of alkylated fullerene derivatives for solution-processable organic thin film transistors and solar cells. Their physical, thermal, and semiconducting properties have been studied. Organic thin-film transistors fabricated from C60TH-Oc exhibit electron mobilities as high as 3.2 x 10(-2) cm2 V(-1) s(-1) with 32 V of a threshold voltage. The best power conversion efficiency (PCE) was observed in a layered structure P3HT:C60TH-Oc (PCE = 0.44%), which was a twice value of P3HT:C60TH-Dd (PCE = 0.23%).
