(Evaluation of organic photoelectric conversion element)
(A) External quantum efficiency (External Quantum Efficiency, EQE) evaluation
The evaluation of EQE was performed based on the examples of WO 2018/105269. Using the obtained photoelectric conversion elements a to B, X, and Y, the following operation confirmation evaluation was performed.
Specifically, a voltage was applied to the photoelectric conversion element so as to have an intensity of 2.0X10 5 V/cm, and the external quantum efficiency of photoelectric conversion at 550nm (efficiency of converting an incident photon into an output electron, hereinafter also referred to as "photoelectric conversion efficiency") was measured.
As a result, the obtained photoelectric conversion elements all showed EQEs of 70% or more, and it was confirmed that the photoelectric conversion elements fully function.
(B) Evaluation of responsiveness
The examples based on WO2018/105269 conducted an evaluation of responsiveness.
Specifically, a voltage was applied to the obtained photoelectric conversion element so as to have a strength of 2.0X10 5 V/cm. Then, an LED (LIGHT EMITTING diode) was turned on instantaneously to irradiate light from a lower electrode on the transparent conductive film side, and the photocurrent at this time was measured by an oscilloscope, and the rise time of the signal intensity from 0 to 97% was measured. Then, the relative value was obtained when the rise time of comparative example 1 was set to 10. The results are shown in Table 1.
In comparative example 3, the relative value of the rise time was "a" when the rise time was 5 or less, "B" when the rise time was more than 5 and 8 or less, "C" when the rise time was more than 8 and less than 10, and "D" when the rise time was 10 or more.
In practice, the photoelectric conversion element preferably has a fast light response speed, and therefore "a" is optimal and "D" is worst.
TABLE 1
As shown in table 1, the photoelectric conversion elements of examples 8 to 14 showed evaluation of response speed superior to those of comparative examples 1 to 3.
[ Industrial applicability ]
By using the condensed polycyclic aromatic compound represented by the formula (1), an organic semiconductor device (for example, a photoelectric conversion element, a photosensor, or the like) excellent in responsiveness can be provided.
