having crossbar-type and island-type electrode geometries were fabricated. The crossbar-type cells varied greatly in performance depending on the illuminated light beam size relative to the overlap area of the crossbar-type electrodes due to excess photocurrent generated from the cell region outside the overlapped electrode area, where PEDOT:PSS serves as anode. We systematically investigated the relationship between the conductivity of the PEDOT:PSS, the illumination area, and the amount of excess photocurrent generated. |
