Abstract

Abstract A single layer organic device employing methyl blue (MB) dyed polyethylene oxide (PEO) film has been fabricated and studied. The cyclic voltammetry was used to estimate the redox potential and energy band diagram of the device. The polymer film with highest concentration of the dye in PEO (PMB2%) possessing highest conductivity exhibited energy band gap of 2.62 eV with HOMO and LUMO values of 5.34 and 2.72 eV respectively. Based on cyclic voltammetry data, the electron affinity, ionization potential and energy band diagram of the device are discussed.
