Abstract

Morphologically controllable thin-films of a zinc-containing tetraphenylporphyrin (ZnTPP) combined with an L-glutamide lipid has been fabricated and complexation of ZnTPP with fullerene was examined for organic thin-film solar cells, which gave 3 times enhancement of solar energy-to-electricity conversion efficiency through chlorobenzene-annealing in comparison with the conversion efficiency of untreated one.
