A radiation sensitive hybrid polymer based on an Mn-Anderson polyoxometalate cluster and a UV active organic monomer: synergistic effects lead to improved photocurrent in a photoresponse device

摘要

A new radiation sensitive polyoxometalate/polymer hybrid, POM-MAPDST, has been synthesized from an Mn-Anderson cluster based hybrid and a UV active organic monomer and tested for its photo-response properties by fabricating an ITO/POM-MAPDST/Al device. This device showed improved I-V characteristics under illumination possibly due to the synergistic interactions between the polyoxometalate cluster and the organic components of the hybrid polymer.
