This study explores the application of 6, 13-di (2-thienyl) pentacene, a solution processable
pentacene derivative, in bilayer organic photovoltaics. Efficiencies of up to 1.4% are
observed when 6, 13-di (2-thienyl) pentacene is utilized as the p-type donor layer. Because
of the unique properties of this material, the devices presented here also exhibit improved
stability in ambient atmosphere.
