Summary :

The combination of a halogen-free solvent 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene and unmodified fullerene potentially provides a way to develop environmentally-friendly and cost-effective solution-processed organic photocells. In this paper, the thermal annealing effect on the optical absorption spectra in poly(3-hexylthiophene):unmodified-C60 composites with various compositions is reported. It is found that the onset temperature of the absorption spectrum change is higher in the composites with higher fullerene content. It is speculated that strong interaction between the polymer main chain and C60 tends to suppress the reorientation of polymer main chains in a composite with high C60 content.
