Zehner et al. mentioned that the modification of surface dipole moment made it possible to tune the work function of the system. The experiment of Ganzorig et al. showed that there was a linear relationship between the dipole moment of the binding molecule and the work function change of the system using the modified surface of indium-tin oxide (ITO) with some benzoic acid derivatives. To elucidate the relation between the dipole moment of the molecule and the work function change, we investigated the modified surface of SnO2(110) using Sn7O14 cluster model which was embedded in the fixed point charges. On the modification of the surface, benzoic acid derivatives were bound to SnO2 surface. By changing the terminal group of benzoic acid with H, Cl, F, CF3 and CCl3, the work function changed and the dipole moment of the binding molecules of the modified SnO2(110) were evaluated. The results showed that there was a linear relationship between the dipole moment of the binding molecules and the work function changed. From this relation, the average value of the dipole moments of Sn-OOC linkage at the surface was also evaluated.展开更多

To change built-in potential preferably in order to increase the open-circuit voltage, the work function of ITO should be increased and work function of Al should be decreased. The correlation between the change in work functions of electrodes and performance of the organic photovoltaic cells before and after surface modifications was examined in detail. The enhancement of open-circuit voltage depends on a function of work function change of both ITO and Al electrode. We could show that the built-in potential in the cells played an important role in open-circuit voltage.展开更多
