Tuning the IP of Transport Agents Polymer Composites: Polystrene doped with TPD derivatives and C60 Ip = 5.49 eV Ip = 5.45 eV Ip = 5.27 eV Ip = 5.26 eV Ip = 5.35 eV
IP- Dependence of Charge Generation Efficiency Consistent with Marcus theory for electron transfer As ionization potential of the transport agent increases, efficiency decreases
Marcus Theory for Electron Transfer Hopping rate described as: λ - reorganization energy β – distance dependence
Dependence of Charge Generation Eff. on Distance Between Hoping Sites This follows the Marcus theory for electron transfer processes
