Polythiophene-modified densely packed C60-ethylenediamine adduct microparticle films were prepared using a combination method. The films exhibited both photosensitizer and electron acceptor properties, and generated photocurrents in a photocell system.
Polythiophene-modified densely packed C60-ethylenediamine adduct microparticle films were prepared using a combination of liquid-liquid interfacial precipitation of the adduct microparticles and electrochemical polymerization of 2,2'-bithiophene. The amount of polythiophene was varied as a function of scanning cycles of the applied potential during electrochemical polymerization. Fluorescence-emission properties of these composite films suggested the role of C60-ethylenediamine adduct microparticle film as a photosensitizer in addition to an electron acceptor for polythiophene. Furthermore, cathodic photocurrents were generated via excitation of C60-ethylenediamine adduct microparticle film and polythiophenes using the half-photocell properties of the electrode modified with composite film in the presence of methylviologen.
