1,2,4,5-Tetracyanobenzene doping

The first work published involving this apparatus investigated ONP processes in tetracyanobenzene-doped anthracene, as well as fluorene crystals (Fig. 4(a)) doped with... 

To date, the organic substances studied via ONP have typically been planar, aromatic molecules in pure or mixed crystalline form. While ONP was first demonstrated in pure anthracene, the most commonly-studied systems for ONP (and related OEP) experiments over the years have been fluorene doped with acridine," " phenanthrene, ° phenazine, ° and anthracene," ° as well as naphthalene and p-terphenyl doped with pentacene. ° ° Other investigations of ONP have included studies of anthracene doped withphenazine, tetracyanobenzene," and tetracene, as well as acridine, ° dibromodiphenylether with benzophenone" and dichlorobenzophenone, and various halogenated benzenes. ... 

The majority of photovoltaic modules use silicon as the photovoltaic cell element, but other materials are, in principle, possible. The last four chapters consider the use of organic polymers (sometimes doped) as the cell element or in some related conducting property acrylonitrile, some polymeric phthalocyanines and polymers of 2-vinylnaphthalene that is doped with pyrene and 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene. The study on the last group of polymers was initiated by the idea that they could be used to transfer solar energy to a reaction center and produce some type of chemical reaction. The final chapter carries this approach further in the consideration of polymeric electrodes that could be used to split water into oxygen and hydrogen. The latter could then be utilized as a source of storable, readily transportable chemical energy.

If tetracyanobenzene (TCNB) is doped into a PDMAPAA gel in an N,N -dimethylfoimamide (DMF) solution, a photoinduced electricity effect, which is often seen at a semiconductor interface, can be observed. The photobattery efficiency of approximately 10 10 % can be obtained [22]. Conversion efficiency is different from a solution by the factor of 10 10 . The lifetime of the excited species does not differ in either gel or solution. The fluorescence intensity increases as crosslink density increases. Thus, a carrier s movement speed is thought to be important for the large photoelectric conversion efficiency of gels.
