The brilliant color reflected from nature stems from a photonic crystal morphology. There are many examples in biology of the manipulation of sunlight by nanoscale features including such diverse applications as temperature control, mate attraction, antireflection, and the efficient collection of low light levels. Here we describe a materials-agnostic, 2-D, photonic crystal morphology that enhances the efficiency of optoelectronic devices. The morphology is developed by patterning the organic photoactive material via fluorine chemistry, a method that lends itself to large area fabrication of photonic crystal nanostructures. The photonic crystal cell morphology increases photocurrents generally, and particularly through the excitation of resonant modes near the band edge of the organic photovoltaic material. |
