An organic-film photovoltaic (PV) cell, in which N,N′-bis-(1-naphthyl)- N,N′- diphenyl- 1,1′- biphenyl-4,4′-diamine (NPB) and tris(acetylacetonato)-(monophenothroline) yttrium [Y(ACA)3phen] were used as electron-acceptor and donor, respectively, has been fabricated. Under UV light (4 mW/cm2), the short-circuit current (Isc), open-circuit voltage (Voc), fill factor (FF) and the overall power conversion efficiency of the optimum PV cell were 46 μA/cm2, 2.15 V, 0.30%, and 0.7%, respectively. The photocurrent response region of the cell parallels the adsorption of NPB. The PV effect is attributed to exciplex formation at the interface between the two organic films. The PV cell described displays electroluminescence (EL) emission of blue light upon application of a dc voltage. The maximum luminance was 750 cd/m2 at 15 V driving voltage. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.
