Abstract
Polyethylenimine (PEI) layers are used as cathode interlayer to reduce the work function of electrode materials and are frequently applied to organic or perovskite opto-electronic devices. PEI was applied from solution on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate mixture, zinc oxide and graphite. Choice of solvent and residual solvent removal ensure the superior functionality. [1] Furthermore, a single-step formation of a low work function cathode interlayer and n‑type bulk doping from semiconducting polymer/PEI blend solution was observed. [2] [1] S.
