However, most PM-type OPDs require a high negative operating voltage or complex fabrication. For obtaining high-efficiency OPDs with low voltage and easy process, here the bulk heterojunction(BHJ) structure of high exciton dissociation efficiency combined with the method of trap-assisted PM are applied to the OPDs.In this paper, we investigate the operating mechanism of OPDs based on poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3 HT):(phenyl-C61-butyric-acid-methyl-ester)(PC61 BM), and poly-{[4,8-bis[(2-ethylhexyl)oxy]-benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b]dithiophene-2,6-diyl]-alt-[3-fluore-2-(octyloxy)carbonyl-thieno[3,4-b]thiophene-4,6-diyl]}(PBDT-TT-F):PC_(61)BM doped with C_(60) as active layer.Furthermore, the influence of C_(60) concentration on the optoelectronic performances is also discussed. With 1.6 wt.% C_(60)added, the P3 HT:PC_(61)BM:C_(60) OPD exhibits a 327.5% external quantum efficiency, a 1.21 A·W^(-1) responsivity, and a4.22 x 1012 Jones normalized detectivity at-1 V under 460 nm(0.21 mW·cm^(-2)) illumination. The experimental results show that the effective electron traps can be formed by doping a small weight of C_(60) into BHJ active layer. Thus the PM-type OPDs can be realized, which benefits from the cathode hole tunneling injection assisted by the trapped electrons in C_(60) near the A1 side. The efficiency of PM is related to the C_(60) concentration. The present study provides theoretical basis and method for the design of highly sensitive OPDs with low operating voltage and facile fabrication.展开更多
