Preparation of donor–acceptor nanocomposite through electrophoretic deposition

A novel route to obtain donor–acceptor nanocomposite by using electrophoretic deposition has been proposed. Suspensions containing MEH-PPV and C60 nanoparticles are made by mixing suspensions of individual components. The film obtained by the electrophoretic deposition in the suspension shows notable quenching of photoluminescence, indicating the photoinduced charge transfer between donor MEH-PPV and acceptor C60. This results suggests that the donor–acceptor nanocomposite obtained through the electrophoretic deposition in the mixture of suspensions is a promising material for organic photocells.
