Effectiveness of p-dopants in an organic hole transporting material

We investigated the effectiveness of p-dopants to generate holes in a hole transporting material by comparing the absorption in visible-near-infrared and infrared regions and current density-voltage characteristics. CuI, MoO3, and ReO3 having different work functions were doped in a hole transporting organic material, 4,4′,4″-tris(N-(2-naphthyl)-N-phenylamino)-triphenylamine (2TNATA). Formation of charge transfer (CT) complexes increases linearly with increasing doping concentration for all the dopants. Dopants with higher work function (ReO3>MoO3>CuI) are more effective in the formation of CT complexes and in the generation of the charges in the doped films.
